The Document Attribution

Every page on the main server that uses the Document Interface must carry identifying information about the person or organization who is responsible for the content of the page (the page "creator") and the person or organization who is responsible for making sure that the page is up to date and that all of the links are functional (the page "maintainer"). To provide this information, you use the commands below.

The Page Creator

The page creator is the equivalent of the author of a book. The creator is responsible for the original content of the page. Use the following command to specify the page creator:

.MADE Creator= [URL=] [Email=]

The first parameter, Creator, gives the full name of the page's author. The optional URL parameter gives a link to the author's WWW home page. The optional Email parameter provides his or her email address. For example:

<!--.MADE "Dan Wilga" "http://home.mtholyoke.edu/~dwilga" "dwilga"-->

The Page Maintainer

The page maintainer is responsible for keeping the page in working shape. In some cases this will include updating the content of the page. In other cases, it will include simply making sure that the page displays properly and that all of the HTML anchors from the page function properly. Use the following command to specify the page maintainer:

.MAINTAINS Maintainer= [URL=] [Email=]

The first parameter, Maintainer, gives the full name of the page's maintainer. The optional URL parameter gives a link to the person's WWW home page. The optional Email parameter provides his or her email address. For example:

<!--.MAINTAINS "Dan Wilga" "http://home.mtholyoke.edu/~dwilga" "dwilga"-->
