rmarkdown - rticles: Author names not displaying

Question

I have the following code and output for the rticles::elsevier article and I cannot get the authors names to appear. The output I get is:

It looks like it might be generating the space for the authors names but no displaying them.

Where the code I used to generate it is:

Code:

---
title: Title here
subtitle: Do you have a subtitle? If so, write it here
titlerunning: Short form of title (if too long for head)
authorrunning:
  Short form of author list if too long for running head
thanks: |
  Grants or other notes about the article that should go
  on the front page should be placed here. General
  acknowledgments should be placed at the end of the article.
authors:
  - name: Author 1

keywords:
  - key
  - dictionary
  - word
MSC:
  - MSC code 1
  - MSC code 2 

abstract: |
  Some abstract here

output:
    bookdown::pdf_document2:
      keep_tex: true
      number_sections: no
      toc: no
      tables: true
    base_format: rticles::elsevier_article
header-includes:
  - \usepackage{floatrow}
  - \floatplacement{figure}{H}
  - \usepackage{booktabs}
  - \usepackage{array} 
  - \usepackage{float}

some writing

Even when I use something simple from the following website. Where all I changed was - remove the bibliography: bibliography.bib line and modify output: rticles::springer_article to output: rticles::elsevier_article.

Code2:

---
title: Title here
subtitle: Do you have a subtitle? If so, write it here
titlerunning: Short form of title (if too long for head)
authorrunning:
  Short form of author list if too long for running head

Your second example displays the authors if you change authors to author. However the first example still does not work this way..
