• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Description

Similarly to tag grouping pages, generate

• a page with a list of author names, grouped by letters
• pages with posts published by each author, possibly paged

Also add a list of authors with links at the end of each post.


Has this been requested on Canny?

No.

Motivation

For blogs with multiple authors, it is useful to identify posts contributed by each author.

API design

To control this new feature add a generateAuthorsPages option; when set to true, the authors pages are generated as blog/authors and blog/authors/${name}.

Have you tried building it?

The functionality is implemented in cronica-it@7465833.

The implementation adds a NamedAuthor type, similar to Tag and the code is basically a duplicate of the tag logic.

Self-service

• I'd be willing to contribute this feature to Docusaurus myself.
