Hi, I would like to extend bashblog to read an author field from the input markdown file, only falling back to the global_author variable when an author name is not present in the input file.
The use case is when the editor of the site is the only user of bashblog, and they want to include some guest posts, so the solution using multiple .config files in #99 would not apply.
Please see https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-yaml_metadata_block for an example syntax which could be parsed. I don't want to change the way bashblog parses the author from the generated HTML files.
If this would be useful to other bashblog users, please let me know.
