Move affiliation from below to above the table of contents (toc)

[joundso]

Minor detail: If a table of contents is rendered, the affiliations are currently below it. For simplicity, however, I would expect the affiliations to be between the author names and (above) the table of contents.

Regardless: Many thanks for this awesome template!

Using this _quarto.yml:

Thx for this catch. I'll have a look into this soon.

Hi @tarleb , it seems as if the toc information is included in the "meta" element, as affiliations, contribution statements etc. are added to the body. However, I have not found a possibility to access the "toc" from meta (actually, I do not know which key to use as "toc", "tableofcontents", "table-of-contents" all seem to be wrong), to move the toc to the beginning of the body-list. Any ideas how to solve this?

This is a known limitation and currently not really solvable. Pandoc 3 will come with support for advanced custom writers, we'll have to wait till then.
