Synopsis

<xsl:template name="t:person-name-first-last"/>

Description

The “first-last” style formats a personal name as: the first honorific, followed by the given name, followed possibly by the “middle name”, followed by the surname, followed by the lineage. See t:person-name.

If an othername is provided and if $othername-in-middle is true, then the first othername will be treated as a “middle name” and presented between the given and family names.

Example 1.1, “The first-last name style” shows an example of a personal name to be formatted with the “first-last” style.

  |<para>The author is
  |<personname role="first-last">
  |      <givenname>Norman</givenname>
  |      <surname>Walsh</surname>
  |      <othername>David</othername>
  |   </personname>.</para>

Example 1.1. The first-last name style

That would be formatted as:

The author is Norman David Walsh.
