18.4.2 The @author Tag

The following are examples of @author taglines, which may be used in documentation comments for class and interface declarations:

@author Mary Wollstonecraft
@author Hildegard von Bingen
@author Dorothy Parker

The information in an @author paragraph has no special internal structure.

A documentation comment may contain more than one @author tag. Alternatively, a single @author paragraph may mention several authors:

@author Jack Kent, Peggy Parish, Crockett Johnson,
	James Marshall, Marjorie Weinman Sharmat,
	Robert McCloskey, and Madeleine L'Engle

However, we recommend specifying one author per @author paragraph, which allows the documentation processing tool to provide the correct punctuation in all circumstances.
