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.
