For a JSS article, I'm struggling to figure out how one would go about adding footnotes to authors for indicating equal contribution authorship. With YAML metadata as

---
documentclass: jss
author:
  - name: First Author A
    affiliation: "Some University^[These authors contributed equally.]"
    address: >
      Street
      City
      Country
    email: \email{some_email_a@mail.com}
  - name: First Author B
    affiliation: "Some University^[These authors contributed equally.]"
    address: >
      Street
      City
      Country
    email: \email{some_email_b@mail.com}
  - name: Second Author
    affiliation: Other University
    address: >
      Street
      City
      Country
    email: \email{other_email@mail.com}
title:
  formatted: "A Capitalized Title: Something about a Package \\pkg{foo}"
  plain:     "A Capitalized Title: Something about a Package foo"
  short:     "\\pkg{foo}: A Capitalized Title"
abstract: >
  The abstract of the article.
keywords:
  # at least one keyword must be supplied
  formatted: [keywords, not capitalized, "\\proglang{Java}"]
  plain:     [keywords, not capitalized, Java]
preamble: >
  \usepackage{amsmath}
output: rticles::jss_article
---

So far, whatever I tried yielded something along the lines of

[WARNING] Could not parse YAML metadata at line 74 column 1: Unexpected '
  '
! Undefined control sequence.
l.14 \Plainauthor
                 {}

Error: processing vignette 'jss.Rmd' failed with diagnostics:
LaTeX failed to compile /path/to/jss.tex. See https://yihui.org/tinytex/r/#debugging for debugging tips. See jss.log for more info.

Any pointers on how to go about this would be most welcome. Also I was unsure whether this is the right place for such a question but in the end I felt that it was too specific for SO. If anyone disagrees, I'm happy to close and move to SO.

As it turns out, the error quoted above was caused by something unrelated. I apologize for the noise.
