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. :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.

5. :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.

6. :comment Comment
