Abstract
-Using the nameauth package, an author can encode names according to a
-name authority. Index entries are consistent with input parameters. In-text
-formatting of names is predictable and automated, making it easier to go
-from drafts to a final manuscript. This package mainly supports Western
-names, with basic features for ancient, royal, and Eastern names.
+The nameauth package automates the formatting and indexing of names,
+facilitating the implementation of a name authority. This allows one to
+move blocks of text without retyping names, making it easier to go from
+drafts to a final manuscript. This package mainly supports Western names,
+with basic features for ancient, royal, and Eastern names.

+This packages works with the commands latex, lualatex, pdflatex, and xelatex. It can be used with makeindex and texindy (but I have not done so for building the package itself).
-For testing purposes, I modified the make file so that one can change the typesetting engine on the command line. The way that the make file is designed, the pdf target really depends on just they .sty file being made, so it can generate .dvi files just as easily. The default behavior (shown above) builds with pdflatex. That is the preferred method for creating the package.
+For testing purposes, the make file permits one to change the typesetting engine on the command line. The default is to build the package with pdflatex. See Makefile for more details.
