Authors-block Extension For Quarto

This extension brings the capability to add an author-related header block when rendering docx-documents with Quarto.

The extension adds some modifications to the code originally provided with the lua-filters scholarly-metadata (by Albert Krewinkel and Robert Winkler) and author-info-block (by Albert Krewinkel) in order to make it compatible with Quarto and its normalized author-block.

Installing

quarto add kapsner/authors-block

Using authors-block requires Quarto version >= 1.3.0

This will install the extension under the _extensions sub-directory. If you're using version control, you will want to check in this directory.
