How do you add job title in pdf output?

[kamransoomro84]

Description

I want to add a job title to the author information for pdf output. For revealjs institute and affiliation both work fine but they don't seem to work for pdf. Anybody have any suggestions?

UPDATE:

Here is a sample qmd file:

---
title: My title
author:
  - name: author 1
    affiliation:
      - name: Affiliation 1
format:
  pdf:
    template-partials:
      - title.tex
---

Testing

The template partial I'm using:

$if(title)$
\title{$title$$if(thanks)$\thanks{$thanks$}$endif$}
$endif$
$if(subtitle)$
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\providecommand{\subtitle}[1]{% add subtitle to \maketitle
  \apptocmd{\@title}{\par {\large #1 \par}}{}{}
}
\makeatother
\subtitle{$subtitle$}
$endif$
$-- This supports Quarto's authors normalization
\author{$for(authors)$$it.name.literal$$if(it.affiliations)$ adfk\\ \small{$for(it.affiliations)$$it.name$$sep$, $endfor$}$endif$$sep$ \and $endfor$} \date{$date$}

Current output:

You need to modify one of the template/partials (several threads discussing it that should not be that hard to find).

[kamransoomro84]

Ok I've added this to title.tex but it doesn't work. I've verified that the template partial is being picked up by quarto as intended:

\author{$for(authors)$$it.name.literal$$if(it.affiliations)$ \\ \small{$for(it.affiliations)$$it.name$$sep$, $endfor$}$endif$$sep$ \and $endfor$}

Not sure what I'm missing?

[kamransoomro84]

Just to add I've also verified that $if(it.affiliations)$ is true.

If you want help, you need to share more than a snippet of code out of context.

---

You can share a self-contained "working" (reproducible) Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#small-is-beautiful-aim-for-a-single-document-with-10-lines.

If you have multiple files (and if it is absolutely required to have multiple files), please share as a Git repository.

R	Python
````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: knitr --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. {{< lipsum 1 >}} ```{r} x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) y <- c(1, 4, 9, 16, 25) plot(x, y) ``` {#fig-placeholder} {{< lipsum 1 >}} The end after @fig-placeholder. ````	````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: jupyter --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. {{< lipsum 1 >}} ```{python} import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] plt.plot(x, y) plt.show() ``` {#fig-placeholder} {{< lipsum 1 >}} The end after @fig-placeholder. ````

Additionally and if not already given, please share the output of quarto check within a code block (i.e., using three backticks ```txt), see https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#check.

Ok I've added a sample qmd file, the template partial and output of quarto check in the main question.

Quarto is doing some specific processing and normalization with Authors and Affiliation
See https://quarto.org/docs/journals/authors.html#author-metadata

You need to use the correct metadata to iterate more easily on it in your template. For your template, this will be by-author. You have examples in quarto-journals organization @quarto-journals

See how I modified your document

---
title: My title
date: today
author:
  - name: author 1
    affiliation:
      - name: Affiliation 1
  - name: author 2
    affiliation:
      - name: Affiliation 2
format:
  pdf:
    template-partials:
      - title.tex

I see. Thank you. That makes sense.

By the way, I got the template partial from the repository, which is linked from the documents. Perhaps they need to be updated?
