People

The <maintainer> & <author> tags specify the people working on an addon.


General

At least one of each should be present in the <package> tag, however there is no limit to how many people can be credited this way.

» Check the Manifest of the Template for an example.


Syntax

Specify the name of the person inside as the tag value and optionally add the email attribute.

<maintainer
    email = '‹Email›'
>‹Name›</maintainer>

<author
    email = '‹Email›'
>‹Name›</author>


Example

In this example The Progenitor was the original author of the addon and The Descendant took over maintainership.

<maintainer
    email = 'Descendant@website.com'
>The Descendant</maintainer>

<author
    email = 'Descendant@website.com'
>The Descendant</author>

<author>The Progenitor</author>
