Description
Bug description
Hi, I am preparing a Beamer presentation in Quarto which will be rendered into .pdf later. When I include date of the talk and my institute in the YAML, it prints date before the institution in the pdf version. We generally prefer the date after the institution. In the source files of Quarto Beamer presentation, I have seen a source .tex file where the author and date fields are embedded together. I guess, for that reason, they get printed out together. I cannot modify the Quarto source files since they are read-only. I would appreciate if this can be fixed. I have another question on how to break long titles into two lines in the YAML too. I would like to thank you very much in advance.

Research direction
Start with the provided YAML and the generated Beamer PDF, then inspect the generated source .tex where the author and date fields are embedded. Check how template partial support could control the ordering of institute and date, and verify the long-title question separately. Done means a reproducible render with the requested ordering and documented handling of long titles.
