Linking name groups to A-Z entries

Within the sense content of an e entry, where a name within a nameGrp matches an entry headword name elsewhere in the content, wrap the nameGrp in an xrefGrp xref link. Where it does not match the entry, do not create a link.

If a name within the content matches an entry headword name elsewhere in the content, make it into a link to that entry. Only create a link on the first instance of each name within an entry. Do not create a link on any other instances of the same name later in the same entry, but do use nameGrp for these instances.

Do not wrap instances of nameGrp names that are identified as real names or pseudonyms of the entry headword name in xrefGrp xref elements. Not all nameGrp names fall into this category. The appropriate ones are usually found near the start of the first div1 element for the sense and can be preceded by either Real name or Pseudonym text strings.

There may be instances where there are two potential matches to link to. In these cases ask OUP which entry link destination is correct. The hom tag content may help identify the correct target if present.
