Cannot recognize my name when equal contribution

[CryoSky]

Hi, I have a quick question. I have a paper that I was one of the co-first authors. If I add a star sign on my name in the paper.bib, then the underscore line cannot recognize my name because in the _config.yml I didn't put a star sign behind my last name. Does anyone know how to solve this problem then? Many thanks for your reply!

This seems to be fixed with #770.

#770 should have fixed the problem.

In the bib.html file, the following line
{%- assign author_last_name = author.last | remove: "¶" | remove: "&" | remove: "*" | remove: "†" | remove: "^" -%}
supports five special characters to indicate different authorship type. Its meaning is literal, i.e., remove these characters from the current author's last name.

Let me know if the issue persists.

You are right. I have figured it out. Thank you very much!

With this I can indeed add star signs to the names of co-authors of a publication, but how do I add a footnote saying that the star stands for "equal contribution"?

@LarsDoorenbos You can add something like note={* = equal contribution} in papers.bib file inside the relevant BibTeX entry
