Configuration mismatch between site_author and managingEditor
The MkDocs configuration for site_author
is corresponding to the managingEditor
element according to the plugin documentation. However, the site_author
populates the HTML meta tag, <meta name="author" content="Author Name">
, and expects a name while the <managingEditor>
-element expects an e-mail adress. This results in an invalid XML-file according to the W3C valdiator which in turn seems to not be processesed by some RSS readers.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a basic MkDocs-site using with the
mkdocs-rss-plugin
. - Add
site_author
in the MkDocs configuration using a name and not an e-mail. - Do not use any other page
meta
author information. - Validate generated XML file with the W3C validator.
Suggestion
Provide an override for managingEditor
in the plugin configuration.
