It is better to not hard code the number of authors:
``````lua
function Meta (meta)
if 'docx' == FORMAT then
if 'List' ~= pandoc.utils.type(meta.author) then
-- hopefully Inlines
return nil
elseif 1 == #meta.author then -- only one
meta.author = meta.author[1]
else -- more than one
-- Define once, use many times
local sep = pandoc.Inlines(", ") -- DWIM
-- Initialize to an empty list and use `:extend` to populate
local authors = pandoc.Inlines({ })
-- Loop through any number of authors
for i, author in ipairs(meta.author) do
if 1 == i then -- no comma for the first
authors:extend(author)
else -- append ", A. U. Thor"
authors:extend(sep .. author)
end
end
-- Put them back
meta.author = authors
-- We have modified, so return it
return meta
end
end
return nil -- nothing modified
end
``````
