Attaching Expired Authors to Posts?

This is a similar issue (how to get some front matter data from a draft page when building a site).

basically: you could read the directory that your authors are in and use transform.Unmarshal on .Content to create a map to extract parameters from.

[SOLVED] Get Draft Front Matter without Generating Page?

Hey, I was wondering if there is a way to get content from pages where draft = true without actually generating the page in the build. Use case: I have a directory of pages each with a .Title and some are ready to be published, others not. However, I would like to list all the pages linking to the ones where draft = false and just putting the .Title when draft = true.
