3.2.5 authors Rules

Some feeds are not produced by a single author. A feed that contains academic papers, for instance, may tag each entry with the authors of the paper to which that entry corresponds. You can score against an entry’s authors with an authors rule.

  1. :text: The match text For each entry, if the “authors” meta-data is present, the authors’ names will be concatenated (separated by “, “) and matched against this text for scoring purposes.
  2. :value: The match value This is an integer specifying the amount by which the entry’s score should be adjusted, should the text match
  3. :type: The match type
  4. :date: Last match time

    The last time this rule matched an entry, in seconds since Unix epoch. When defining rules, this element & all those following are optional & need not be supplied by the score file author. This field will be automatically kept up-to-date by elfeed-score.

  5. :tags: Tag scoping rules

    You may wish to apply this rule only to entries that have certain tags (or that do not have certain tags). See below for how to do that.

  6. :hits: Hit count

    The number of times this rule has matched an entry. This field will be automatically kept up-to-date by elfeed-score.

  7. :feeds: Feed scoping rules

    You may wish to apply this rule only to entries that came from certain feeds (or did not come from certain feeds). See below for how to do that.
