How can I add multiple lines in the title of a PDF output in Quarto using RStudio?

I am trying to create a PDF file using Quarto in R. In the title, I want three lines: School Name, Exam (i.e., Annual or Mid-term) and Subject (i.e., Mathematics, Statistics, etc.). All these three elements will be in different lines. So, I tried using the following code.

title: `r paste0("School Name", "\\linebreak ","Annual Exam","\\linebreak ","Mathematics")`

But this is giving me an error when I render the document. So, instead of one backtick, I also tried using three backticks. But still, I could not render the document. Can you help me how I can do this?

Solution

  • Try as the following,

    ---
title: |
  School Name \
  Annual Exam \
  Mathematics
