I see from the documentation that there's a flag for setting the default author at startup but is there a way to specify the default author in the tiddlywiki.info file?

A supplementary question" is the tiddlywiki.info file documented anywhere?

So, can I include username in the config section?

I don't know. ... But you can create a tiddler in the /tiddlers diectory filename eg: Status_UserName.tid
with the content:

title: $:/status/UserName

your user name

So your username will be set everytime you bild your TW. That should work.

It doesn't work on the server though! When I reload the tiddlywiki or restart the server the value is reset to blank in the control panel!

The $:/status/UserName tiddler is reset to the empty string each time.

I could use the UserName option on the tiddlywiki --server command, but because the arguments are positional, I'd forget to include something I need!
