Attributes

Tag will accept the following attributes (case-sensitive) as well as the global attributes :

link="link type (boolean)"

Whether to hyperlink the author or not.

Values: 0 (no) or 1 (yes).

Default: 0.

section="section name"

Direct any linked author name to the nominated section instead of to the default (front) page.

Default: unset.

this_section="boolean"

If set to 1, the linked author name will direct users to an author list in the current section, otherwise author list from all sections is displayed.

Default: 0.
