How to separate authors on different lines in Quarto pdf

I am preparing a Quarto pdf document and would like to specify the authors on separate lines beneath the unit to which they belong. When I knit my .qmd as an html, I get the desired output:

---
title: "Untitled"
author: 
  - "**Analytics Unit**"
  - "John Smith"
  - "Jane Doe"
format: html
---

enter image description here

However, when I switch the format to pdf, the authors names are spread across a single line

---
title: "Untitled"
author: 
  - "**Analytics Unit**"
  - "John Smith"
  - "Jane Doe"
format: pdf
---

enter image description here

Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated!

Solution

  • you can use latex package authblk

    ---
title: "Untitled"
author:
  - "**Analytics Unit**"
  - "John Smith"
  - "Jane Doe"
format: pdf
include-in-header:
  text: |
   \usepackage{authblk}
---

## Quarto

    Author name at different lines

    If author names seems a bit larger to you, use auth-lg package option, that is modify your YAML as,

    ---
title: "Untitled"
author:
  - "**Analytics Unit**"
  - "John Smith"
  - "Jane Doe"
format: pdf
include-in-header:
  text: |
   \usepackage[auth-lg]{authblk}
---

    I would recommend to read the package documentation, Especially section 4 and 5.
