In the Content section of Publication pages, we want to display the parent title's data on a separate line. The current display order is:

Variant/translated title
Canonical author name
Canonical title
Alternate name used by the variant title

It's a weird and confusing order. Putting the parent title's data on a separate line will make the layout more logical and give us more space to display additional data elements later. Some scenarios and examples of what the new layout will look like:

Case    Language    Author  Title   Title Dates
1   --  canonical   canonical   canonical
2   --  canonical   variant title   same as canonical
3   --  canonical   variant title   different from canonical
4   --  alternate name  same as canonical   same as canonical
5   --  alternate name  same as canonical   different from canonical
6   --  alternate name  variant title   same as canonical
7   --  alternate name  variant title   different from canonical
8   translation     canonical   same as canonical   same as canonical
9   translation     canonical   same as canonical   different from canonical
10  translation     canonical   variant title   same as canonical
11  translation     canonical   variant title   different from canonical
12  translation     alternate name  same as canonical   same as canonical
13  translation     alternate name  same as canonical   different from canonical
14  translation     alternate name  variant title   same as canonical
15  translation     alternate name  variant title   different from canonical

1 • Canonical Title 1 • [Series Name • 1] • short fiction by Canonical Name
2 • Alternate Title 2 • [Series Name • 2] • short fiction by Canonical Name
