author missing from EPUB

Open xworld21 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

EPUB.pm tries to get the authors from the DB data: https://github.com/brucemiller/LaTeXML/blob/0130f4309d436c158dac82d60b71c84a9ec7ae84/lib/LaTeXML/Post/Manifest/Epub.pm#L104 However authors doesn't seem to be in the DB, so the EPUB doesn't get a list of authors.

That line may have been wishful thinking on my part. I am unsure if Scan is currently collecting the <creator role="author"> entries, and may need an extension.

There's probably some confusion between the document level "author" (which should be split into multiple individuals? I think), and bibliographies with an "authors" collecting all of them. It appears that scan is only looking at bibliography's "authors"; it may not even yet be collecting up the document author metadata?

We'll have to dig in to see what's recorded, what ePub wants, etc.

Just tried to make sense of it all! See PR.
