 ## Customization
 
+### Displaying the metadata
+
+Sometimes it's useful to be able to display the medatada in the page body, e.g.
+print the name of the page author at the bottom of the page. To achieve that,
+you can [extend the theme][7] by adding the following contents to `main.html`:
+
+``` html
+{% extends "base.html" %}
+
+{% block content %}
+  {{ super() }}
+  {% if page and page.meta and page.meta.author %}
+    <p><small>Author: {{ page.meta.author }}</small></p>
+  {% endif %}
+{% endblock %}
+```
