Overview

The author section lets you include an author information block in your e-mail. This displays the author's name, profile picture and biography pulled from their novem profile. You can also override the biography text with a custom message.

Including authors

An author block is added by creating a {{ author }} section in the content file. The author section is a single statement section — it does not require a closing tag.

Restrictions

The author must have the allow_as_author permission set on their profile. In addition, the visualisation must be shared with the author before the author can be tagged. A public sharing is not sufficient — there must be a joint group membership.

Options

Options to the section are supplied as yaml within the double brackets.

Username

keyword: username
options: novem username

Include Name

options: true | false
default: true

Include Biography

keyword: include bio
options: true | false
default: true

Override Biography

keyword: override bio
options: "Custom biography text"

Replaces the author's profile biography with custom text. Supports simple markdown formatting.
