Latex template does not support large number of authors

[agahkarakuzu]

This is probably hitting yet another edge case, but the PDF is not rendered when there are too many authors, and affiliations.

I am dealing with a submission with 40 authors on it and have been fighting with the latex template to create the following condition:

When there are more than 10 authors, list first 10 and the last author in the title, and remove the remaining authors and their affiliations to the last page.

I don't have much experience with Lua + Latex, if you have any suggestions to deal with this issue, I'd be glad. Thanks!

I have a working solution for this using the following Lua filter:

in this template:

You can see an example PDF at https://neurolibre.org/papers/10.55458/neurolibre.00014.

It is missing ORCID icons and note as pretty as the \maketitle command, which is bypassed when the variable exposed by the Lua filter indicates more than 10 authors.
