@mmmmtoasty19 @mrparker909 @huttoncp

I have just discovered that we've been listing authors incorrectly. When in the YAML header we listed

However, when using authors and listing the name(s) on individual lines after a dash, displays the name in the top left of the card and allows to select all publications of this author

I've corrected the existing posts to make sure the authors are listed properly. Let's follow this convention going forward.
