Author names are missing in the HTML using scholarly-metadata and author-info-blocks

Description

Hi there,

I used scholarly-metadata.lua and author-info-blocks.lua to render a HTML, but the author names are missing. And "Authors" and "Affiliations" are empty, how can I fix this?

I don't need to use Pandoc Lua; any other solution is fine. The default affiliation in Quarto rendered HTML repeats the same institute for all affiliated authors, which is unnecessary and lengthy. It would be better to list the affiliations and assign them using superscript affiliation IDs like the figure below but with a list of authors. Thanks a lot.

      institute:
        - federation
      equal_contributor: "yes"
      correspondence: "yes"
      email: [email protected]
  - John Q. Doe:
      institute: [federation, acme]
      equal_contributor: "yes"
  - Juan Pérez:
      institute: acme
institute:
  - federation: Federation of Planets
  - acme:
      name: Acme Corporation

format: html
filters: 
  - scholarly-metadata.lua
  - author-info-blocks.lua

If I add name in the author,

If I am not mistaken the two LUA filters you mentioned are not part of anything related to Quarto thus out of Quarto support scope.
If the filters don't do what you want, either modify it or ask the authors.

Now your first author specification is incorrect.
Please see the authors/affiliations schema: https://quarto.org/docs/journals/authors.html

For customisation of the title block or related, take a look at the partials: https://quarto.org/docs/journals/templates.html#html-partials

Thanks for your hints. I acutally started from the Quarto documentation. The default behavior ends up creating a lengthy affiliation list, as each institute is repeated for each affiliated author.

I don't know how to customize HTML partials. Is there a more user-friendly way to set an affiliation list that only contains unique values, with each referred to in the superscript of the author? Thanks.

Thanks again, I found one lua that works. #2715
