Redo author configuration about hasper

[dencold]

@ryanwalls yeah, Author config has really been a pain point. I've tried to be flexible on the theme and allow multiple-authors and additional metadata. Looks like there are some gears turning for some kind of official support in version 0.17 of hugo:
gohugoio/hugo#1850

I think you commented on this as well, so you are probably aware.

It turns out that you can't define custom template functions without forking Hugo, something I'm definitely not interested in pursuing as it will break downstream users (unless they also use my fork). So I'm going to hold off on this work until 0.17 when we have some official view on this from Hugo itself crosses fingers.

Closing this issue. Author metadata is still awkward, but I think we have it in a good state until the official adoption of a standard in hugo:
gohugoio/hugo#1850

Interesting. Yeah, the author handling needs a standard approach across themes. Don't know if one has been settled on. Perhaps raise an issue on the hugo repo itself as well?
