How to Write Multiple Authors in Markdown (Pandoc)

author, latex, pandoc

Solution

You can supply pandoc with multiple author names using a YAML front matter section in your markdown.

For example:

---
author:
- "Alice Ceila"
- "Edy Jo" 
---

Problem

I want to write a markdown file containing multiple authors, then convert it into a LaTeX and Doc file using Pandoc. Based on the answers to these questions, I tried to write: ``` % Author <br/> Another Author ``` Pandoc can convert that into two lines in HTML files, but only one line (one author) in LaTeX and Doc files.
