+### Taxonomies
+
+Support for authors, categories, series, and tags taxonomies is built in.
+
+Set `default` to `true` in the front matter of an author term page for that author to be credited in regular pages that have no authors parameter.
+A default author must be referenced at least once explicitly in a regular page.
+
+The `email` and `url` parameters in the front matter of an author term page are used in feeds if present.
