How to add author's institution to an epub?

I'd like to use the epub format for conference papers, but can't seem to find a way to add author's affiliation or email under their name. Any tips much appreciated!

In general you use pandoc templates, and use metadata from your markdown to generate the correct fields. I don't use epub but do generate academic html as an option for my projects:

This uses my academic metadata filter to make email, corresponding author, equal contribution, institution affiliations etc.

My metadata looks like this:

author:
  - name: John Doe
    affiliation: 1
    equal_contributor: true
  - name: Joanna Doe
    affiliation: [1,2]
    correspondence: [email protected]
    equal_contributor: true
institute:
  - 1: International Cephalopod Research Institute (ICRI), Pacific Ocean.
  - 2: Center for Advanced Octopod Studies (CAOS), Atlantic Ocean.

My Pandoc "recipe" for this (I use pandocomatic for managing pandoc compiles):

I use my own academic filter assimilateMetadata.rb but there are other options for this, I keep meaning to switch to a Lua filter (by tarleb IIRC?) but my filter works so...

Thanks for all the tips!
