It would be nice if one can add co-authors onto talk's page. It depends on the field, but in my field we usually enlist all contributors to a presentation, not only the speaker.
The template can also be used for, for example, a seminar, where the authors are not always the same, so this would be useful. If more people are interested in this option, I can propose a PR.
Talk authors can be specified in the same way as publication authors, it's just undocumented since it's less popular. You can add something like the following to talk front matter:
authors = ["Dave", "Bob"]
I'm just pushing an update that will enable the ability to format/link authors in talks using markdown, e.g. authors = ["**Dave**", "[Bob](http://bobs-website)"].
Wonderful, thanks!
That's great, thanks! The authors do however not appear in the homepage talk widget. Do you think it would be relevant to add the following code in layout/partials/talk_li_simple.html?
<div class="talk-metadata">
{{ with .Params.authors }}
{{- delimit . ", " | markdownify -}}
{{- end -}}
</div>
