The @author Tag

The @author tag allows you to document the author of the code for a constructor, a method, or property.

Syntax

@author authorDescription

• authorDescription - Required: any information you wish to provide about the author, typically name and email address.

Example

/**
 * @author <a href="mailto:micmath@gmail.com">Michael Mathews</a>
 */

Multiple author tags are allowed in one documentation comment if you wish. Note: that using HTML tags in the text of any tag is always allowed, but is only useful if your documentation is formatted as HTML.
