How do I add new items to the HTML via custom fields in the YAML header?

Description

I want to have YAML header like

status: "finished"
confidence: "highly likely"
importance: 10

and I hope to make it so that the final rendered HTML would contain the lines

  <div>
    <div class="quarto-title-meta-heading">Importance</div>
    <div class="quarto-title-meta-contents">
      <p class="date-modified">10</p>
    </div>
  </div>

    
  <div>
    <div class="quarto-title-meta-heading">Confidence</div>
    <div class="quarto-title-meta-contents">
      <p class="date-modified">highly likely</p>
    </div>
  </div>
    
  <div>
    <div class="quarto-title-meta-heading">Status</div>
    <div class="quarto-title-meta-contents">
      <p class="date-modified">finished</p>
    </div>
  </div>

I cannot figure out how to add new HTML elements. The extension doesn't seem to allow that. It only allows changing the default settings.

I don't know what you are really trying to do as you HTML example seems really off.

See:

• https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/variables.html#meta

Just by way of comparison, hoping to clarify, @yuxi-liu-wired I think you're looking for something which I'd do in Mkdocs with the Macros plugin which allows all of the Jinja2 templating to be used in Markdown with access to page-level frontmatter variables.

Just as a guess on what you'd like to do.

Depending on where you need to insert this content based on variable, you may need to provide custom template for the rendering.

See about template at (https://quarto.org/docs/journals/templates.html#templates) and partials logic that Quarto offers (https://quarto.org/docs/journals/templates.html#html-partials)
