Explain COinS issues

Citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 generate COinS metadata. If a template is used in a citation template field, then it may inject HTML into the metadata.

Compare the rendered HTML for {{Cite book}} with |author= using no template and using {{Ceann-litricheanBheag}}.

Markup Renders as {{Cite book |author=Sam Drucker |title=Title}} Sam Drucker. Title. <cite class="citation book">Sam Drucker.

The author metadata is in the rft.aulast field. In this case, it is percent-encoded and is rendered as <span class="Ceann-litricheanBheag" style="font-variant:small-caps;">Sam Drucker</span>

Reference management software will interpret the entire span as the author name.
