@author – Joomla DocBlock headers Updated on August 16, 2021 by Brad Markle 10 Minutes, 6 Seconds to Read Please note the following: This article is supporting documentation for our tutorial, using DocBlocks in Joomla. There is official documentation that references what headers to use in your DocBlocks (such as @copyright and @license), but documentation is missing that outlines what values to use for each header. In an effort to learn what values to use per each header, we have scanned the Joomla code and pulled out how each header is used. The idea behind this page is to show you how the @author tag has been used in the past within the Joomla code so learn how to use it in your future documentation. Value Count The following table shows the various different values for @author, and how many times each value has been used. Value # Times used * @author Andreas Gohr <[email protected]> 7 * @author Fabien Potencier <[email protected]> 7 * @author <[email protected]> 5 * @author Andy Prevost 4 * @author Chris Smith<[email protected]> 4 * @author Jim Jagielski 4 * @author Harald Kirschner <mail [at] digitarald.de> 3 * @author Rouven WeÃ�ling <me [at] rouvenwessling.de> 3 * @author Matthias Sommerfeld <[email protected]> 3 * @author Marcus Bointon 3 * @author Geoffrey Sneddon 2 * @author Anthony Ferrara <[email protected]> 2 * @author Matthew Lewinski <[email protected]> 2 * @author Romain Neutron <[email protected]> 1 * @author Jay Burrell, Systems & Networks, Mississippi State University 1 * @author Oliver Saunders <oliver (a) osinternetservices.com> 1 * @author Matthias Sommerfeld, <[email protected]> 1 * @author Matthias Sommerfeld <[email protected]> 1 * @author <chernyshevsky at hotmail dot com> 1 * @author elfrink at introweb dot nl 1 * @author Nicholas 1 * @author Nicholas K.
