After Dark creates rich post bylines automatically. Bylines include optional author name, word count, links to Taxonomy Pages and Structured Data.

{{% hackcss-card header="Example Byline" %}} Published [by author] [publishdate or date] in navigation and tagged links and taxonomy using [wordcount] words. {{% /hackcss-card %}}

If author is specified in {{< external href="https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/" text="Site Configuration" />}} params or post {{< external href="https://gohugo.io/content-management/front-matter/" text="Front Matter" />}} it will be included automatically in the byline attributing the author:

[params]
  author = "Billy Joe Jim Bob" # the guy behind the guy behind the guy

Adjust hide_author in {{< external href="https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/" text="Site Configuration" />}} to suppress attribution site-wide:

[params]
  author = "" # optional setting, not required in config
  hide_author = true # hides author name and related structured data

Combine with categories and Last Modified to produce unique Structured Data.
