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:

authors:
  - name: John Doe
    affiliations:
      - ref: jdct
    corresponding: true
    email: john.doe@jdct.edu

Produces this output (with the affiliation below the table of contents):

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?

[tarleb]

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.

FIY: This is also true for abstracts.

I guess there is no solution yet?

Related to #15

@tarleb would you have any hint how to implement this best? Could this be done in a similar manner as the #refs div (https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aquarto-dev%2Fquarto-cli+%23refs&type=code&p=1) (which is, however, tightly woven into quarto's source code)?

[tarleb]

Pandoc 3.2.1 added a new feature that allows to use openxml templates when producing docx output. So it's now possible to:

1. get the default template by running pandoc -o template.openxml -D openxml.
2. Add a new block that adds the affiliations from the metadata, similar to how the default template handles authors.
3. Pass the new template to pandoc via --template=template.openxml when converting to docx.

Please let me know if you run into problems.
