Reassure the user by allowing direct identification of the responsible entity.
Improve content support by search engines and indexing tools
Implementation
Le nom de l’entité éditrice est écrit dans le corps de l’ouvrage, dans une section identifiée, le plus souvent intitulée « Mentions légales » et identifiée avec le role doc-copyright dans le code.
