This filter adds author-related header blocks usually included in scholarly articles, such as a list of author affiliations, correspondence information, and on notes equal contributors.
This filter assumes metadata in the canonical format generated by the scholarly-metadata filter.
The filter should be run after scholarly-metadata.lua:
pandoc --lua-filter=scholarly-metadata/scholarly-metadata.lua \
--lua-filter=author-info-blocks/author-info-blocks.lua \
--output=outfile.pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex \
article.md
The ways in which affiliation data should be given is described
in the docs for *scholarly-metadata.lua. Additionally, authors
who contributed equally to an article can be marked by adding
equal_contributor: yes to the respective YAML objects.
Similarly, corresponding authors should be marked with
correspondence: yes and have an email listed.
Take the following example YAML block:
---
title: Affiliation Blocks Example

- Jane Doe:
