# Names

    mal_info_name = element name {
      attribute * - (mal:* | local:*) { text } *,
      mal_inline
    }

Use the `name` element to mark up the name of a person or organization in a `credit` element.

# Notas

The `name` element can contain a mixture of text and any general inline elements.

The `name` element can occur in the `credit` element.

The `name` element can have attributes from external namespaces. See for more information on external-namespace attributes.

# Processing Expectations

See the processing expectations for the `credit` element.

# Comparison to Other Formats

The `name` element fulfills the same role as numerous DocBook elements, including collabname, personname, and publishername. Note that Mallard does not attempt to model the names of people, as the rules for how to display names from their constituent parts vary considerably. If parts of a name are needed for a domain-specific purpose, they can be included using elements from external namespaces on the parent element.
