Summary description: Name authority mechanism for consistency in body text and index
Announcement text:
I am delighted to announce the release of nameauth 4.1. In addition to fixing bugs related to index sub-entries and reducing some potential cases for warnings, new features allow greater ease and flexibility in working with Roman names, easier debugging, the ability of some macros to recall the previous name data when using null arguments, more formatting tools, and the overall simplification of workflow when recalling data associated with names. The documentation has been revisited to reflect this simplified workflow. Examples have been improved for better clarity.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/nameauth The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nameauth/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

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 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 text and index. This may help minimize writing and production time and cost.
