It's possible to have a blog with multiple authors. By default each post is authored by the site owner/creator. But if you're writing a blog with other people you can use `author` metadata property. If such property is specified you, name of the author would show up on the page like on the screenshot below. Author name would be a link to the author's page. You can create an author page by adding "authors" folder inside your site's folder. In that folder create one note per author. Eg for the example from above there is corresponding note called "Anton": If your post has multiple authors just enumerate them inside "author" property and separate them with ",", like this:

Sharing Notes on the iPhone might be a bit tricky if you didn't do this before. Step 1. Open your note and tap "Share" button. Step 2. You need to select "Collaborate" sharing mode. After you do that "Invite with Link" icon will appear. Tap on it. Step 3. You will see a sharing dialogue. Type email/phone number of the person with whom you want to share the link. Press "Share Link". Step 4. After you pressed "Share Link" the link itself will been your clipboard. Go to any application and do "Paste" on any text field.

It's possible to change default font family for your whole site, specific folder or even note. Default font family is "helvetica". But you can use any of the following font families:

• san-serif

• athelas
• georgia
• times
• bodoni
• calisto
• garamond
• baskerville

All you need to do is to add metadata "fontFamily" with appropriate value. Like this

Montaigne allows you to express yourself with your site. You can customize various things. Eg you can change how navigation is done on your site. Read how to do that here. But what is special is that you can also change general look and feel of your 1) whole site 2) all the pages inside some specific folder 3) any specific note. You can do that either with global settings of your site that you can find at montaigne.io or using metadata. Metadata gives you the most of the control because it can be applied to any level. If you want settings to be applied globally - change metadata inside your global 'index' note. If you want settings to be applied to the notes in the specific folder - change metadata inside your folder's 'index' note. If you want settings to be applied to the specific note - change metadata for that specific note.

You can also customize list view on your site. By default only Note title and date are displayed. However by adding "previewProps" you can show more things.

• date
• author
• emoji

If you want to disable default navigation on the homepage and have default home page displayed you need:

1. Create note called “index” - this will be your home page.
2. Create metadata property “showChildren” and set it to “no”.

You can check docs on metadata for more details. Also please check page on navigation customization.

If you want some page to be always accessible to your visitors on all pages you can add it to the footer. In order to do that set `showInFooter` metadata option to “true” or “yes”. Like this: This is useful for pages like “Contact”, “About” and “Help”. You can check docs on metadata for more details.

We will automatically embed 3rd party content via iframe if the provided link has oEmbed support. Think of it as something close to what Slack does with links. Currently we support:

• Youtube
• Spotify
• Vimeo
• Apple Music
• Apple Podcasts
• Apple TV
• Loom
• IMDB
• Dropbox Capture
• Wikipedia
• SoundCloud

If you need rich previews for other platforms - please contact us.

How does the embedding works?

If you create link in your note on a separate line - it will be embedded with rich preview. The links that are wrapped inside the text would remain regular text links.

If you add a link to the Apple Map inside the note it will be automatically attached as a static image to your published note. So if you have map like this in your note It will be published like this on your website
