Hi,

I am writing a document in Rmarkdown (so for practical purposes here, just 
in markdown) that I would like to be able to convert to all of HTML, PDF, 
and Word (docx). The document has multiple authors with different 
affiliations. Since I haven't been able to coerce any of the online 
descriptions of how to mark this setting up formally to work in all three 
output environments, I tried manually creating the output I wanted by 
hacking the "date" metadata and exploiting hand-written superscripts. 
Basically, something like this:

author: |
  | Author One^1^
  | Author Two^2^
date: |
  | ^1^Institution One
  | ^2^Institution Two

Of course, this is a simplified example since there are way more authors 
and institutions than that, which is why I am using the pipe character to 
force line breaks. This idea works for both HTML and PDF output. When I try 
to create the output in a .docx file, neither the Author list nor the 
Affiliation list (in the hacked ate variable) gets included in the 
document. If I delete the pipe characters, then the output gets included in 
the file, but without the line breaks.

Why does the YAML  pipe character apparently not work for Word output? Is 
there some setting that I am missing to enable this feature for Word output?

Thanks,
  Kevin
