Key metadata about individual pages/chapters included in the YAML of the specific Markdown page:

title:
subtitle:
contributor:
- id:
  first_name:
  last_name:
  full_name:

• For names, you need either first_name AND last_name, or just full_name
• Contributors identified as type: primary will be included in the citation as the publication’s authors
• If your publication has one or more editors, rather than authors, they should be type: primary, and role: editor in the YAML.
