## Description

NAMEFIRST is an empty element whose attributes describe the formatting of the first author in an authorlist. The formatting of all subsequent authors is described by the NAMEOTHER element.

Use the NAMEORDER attribute to select the general sequence and appearance of lastname and other name parts.

Use the INITIALSTYLE attribute to select if the first name and middle initial should be abbreviated and whether a period and a space should follow the abbreviated items.

If the whole name or the last name should be rendered in uppercase, set the UPPERCASE attribute to "ALL" or "LASTNAME", respectively.

    <NAMEFIRST NAMEORDER="LASTFIRSTMIDDLE" INITIALSTYLE="F.M." UPPERCASE="NONE">
    <NAMEOTHER NAMEORDER="FIRSTMIDDLELAST" INITIALSTYLE="F.M." UPPERCASE="NONE">
