Why do affiliations not show up anywhere in the pdf output of quarto?-CodePudding

In the yaml of a quarto document I have:

---
title: "Hey!"
author:
  - name: Birdy Bird
    affiliations:
      - University of Birds
      - University of Hummingbirds
format: pdf
editor: visual
---

When I render this file using Rstudio IDE, I get:

I was expecting the affiliations with their numbers (e.g. 1, 2 as superscripts) to show up somewhere.

CodePudding user response：

I am facing the the same issue. The HTML output includes author metadata, but the PDF output does not. Apparently this can solve this by including template partials that define the author meta data to include.

In the YAML header you will need:

format:
  pdf:
    keep-tex: true
    template-partials: 
      - _extensions\partials\title.tex

In the title.tex file you need something like:

\title{$title$}

\author{
  $for(by-author)$
    {$by-author.name.literal$} \\
    $for(by-author.affiliations)$
      $it.name$ \\
      $it.country$
    $endfor$ \\
    $if(by-author.email)$\href{mailto:$by-author.email$}{$by-author.email$}$endif$
    \and 
  $endfor$}

\date{$date$}

I had this working in the past, but unfortunately it is no longer working (not sure why)...
