<para>If the value of
<parameter>man.authors.section.enabled</parameter> is non-zero
(the default), then an <literal>AUTHORS</literal> section is
generated near the end of each man page. The output of the
<literal>AUTHORS</literal> section is assembled from any
<tag>author</tag>, <tag>editor</tag>, and <tag>othercredit</tag>
metadata found in the contents of the child <tag>info</tag> or
<tag>refentryinfo</tag> (if any) of the <tag>refentry</tag>
itself, or from any <tag>author</tag>, <tag>editor</tag>, and
<tag>othercredit</tag> metadata that may appear in <tag>info</tag>
contents of any ancestors of the <tag>refentry</tag>.</para>

<para>If the value of
<parameter>man.authors.section.enabled</parameter> is zero, the
the auto-generated <literal>AUTHORS</literal> section is
suppressed.</para>

<para>Set the value of
  <parameter>man.authors.section.enabled</parameter> to zero if
  you want to have a manually created <literal>AUTHORS</literal>
  section in your source, and you want it to appear in output
  instead of the auto-generated <literal>AUTHORS</literal>
  section.</para>
