Improve this question

I have to convert a PSD to (x)HTML for a client of mine witch in turn will use that theme for a client of him.

Now the question is, is there a way to protect my copyrights from within the page for copyrights like ?

In example, is there a way to leave somethink like that into the code and protected from removal;

<meta name="author" content开发者_Python百科="My name" />

Another and last question is, if I upload that project in my portfolio, will be that wrong from my side ? When I mean in my portfolio, I don't mean to represent that project as a full project developed by me, but as a PSD to (x)HTML Convertion project.

is there a way to leave something like that into the code and protected from removal;

No. HTML is a completely open format; you can not protect it from being copied; you can also not prevent anybody with access to the HTML from removing the notice.

If this is about making sure you are identified as the author of the work, consider making a (written) agreement with your client saying that there will be an author notice in the HTML, and they are not allowed to remove it.

If this is really important to you, I'd recommend that you make it part of the contract between you and your designers. They provide you a PSD, you provide them XHTML on the condition that they don't remove your attribution links from the code.

Programmatic methods would be unreliable, so it's probably best to settle it with a gentleman's agreement.

@Merianous; there is a new term called humans.txt which use by google also.

The short answer: NO

The long answer: you can use many tricks to protect you bio in code, but this will only made harder to remove: it will be always possibile to steal your work with the necessary efforts.

You normally don't see those kinds of things directly in the HTML. You're more than welcome to add comments to the CSS:
