> I am pleased to announce version 1.4 of the nameauth package (1.28 was
> not released, as it necessitated the present changes). New features

> \CapThis macro that works for all instances of \Name, and an
> alwaysformat option that allows calling out names as one might find in
> some older German reference works. With documentation extensively
> rewritten for readability and accessibility, this marks a milestone in
> my quest to automate the formatting and indexing of names. I hope
> others may find it useful.

nameauth – Name authority mechanism for consistency in body text and index
Publications, that reference many names, require editors and proofreaders to track those names in the text and index. The package offers name authority macros that allow authors and compilers to normalize occurrences of names, variant name forms, and pen names in the text and index. This may help minimize writing and production time and cost.
