Explain the Problem Atom 1.0 allows entries to have multiple authors by providing multiple <author></author> blocks. However, when there are multiple authors, the Nextcloud News app only shows the LAST author. The News app should either list all authors, or as a worst case scenario, only provide the FIRST author. Steps to Reproduce Create an RSS entry with multiple Authors. Open the post in the Nextcloud News reader and you will see that it says "by Last Author Name". System Information News app version: 28.6.0 Nextcloud version: 34.0.1 Cron type: (system cron/python updater/...) PHP version: Database and version: Browser and version: OS and version:
