title: "Untitled"
subtitle: "[**Example**](https://www.example.com/)"
author: "[**Example**](https://www.example.com/)"

A Quarto document using the above YAML will render the markdown used in the `subtitle` field but not the `author` field. (Using the same YAML for an RMarkdown document will render the markdown from both fields.)
