Export authors into an array under entry.author_array

[IgnoredAmbience]

This permits easier iteration over an arbitrary number of authors.

For example, I have a collection of author pages and would like to link them with my publication author lists, I can use the following template to link the pair together:

{% for author in page.entry.author_array %}
{% assign matched = site.people | where:"lastname",author.last | first %}
{% if matched %}<a href="{{ matched.url }}">{% endif %}{{ author.first }} {{ author.last }}{% if matched %}</a>{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Indeed it does, thanks!
