Standardize wp_list_authors like the other wp_list_* functions

[johannesries]

Would be great if <meta name="author" content="<?php bloginfo('authors'); ?>" /> would generate <meta name="author" content="Name 1, Name 2, Name 3" />.

Meh, I could see the *uses* but it could be done with wp_list_authors() I'm pretty sure. Not sure though.

wp_list_authors() outputs links to the author pages, with no way to turn it off. It also doesn't have any sort of formatting options like "between" to allow you to specify a comma and such. It also only outputs a list, using LI tags.

I agree that wp_list_authors() should be extended to cover this sort of thing, preferably by adding a lot more options:

• link: 0 or 1, to enable or disable showing the links
• before, after, between: to put text before,after,between each author

and so forth... Standardize it with all the other wp_list_* functions, basically.

I used the patch from ticket 5407 to make this one

[thee17]

I just tested it and works well for me.

Unlikely to be committed. Would be nice to get it out of the way.

[jacobsantos]

Needs serious testing to ensure it still works.

If you want:

<meta name="author" content="Name 1, Name 2, Name 3" />

Then you would use this code snippet:

<meta name="author" content="<?php wp_list_authors('html=false; style=string'); ?>" />

Based off of r10258

[jacobsantos]

latest patch fixes error, so it should be good now.

[jacobsantos]

Can someone test this as to whether it is ready to go?

(In [10570]) Enhance wp_list_authors() to support more of the standard output options. Props jacobsantos see #4420.
