aha, solved! Thanks, now I grok your reply!

It was this SO that provided a nice example:

Sorry but I don't understand what you want and/or how it is not already possible.
Did you look at the example?

[nucleic-acid]

Not sure if this works, but have you tried putting a Latex linebreak \\ after the Institute?

Really not sure if this works and it is rather hacky and might break the layout, but I would try something like this

affiliation:
      - name: Dummy org
        department: Cool Institute \\ Cool Dep

[mcanouil]

It won't.

The YAML specification has:

key: |
  Multiline
  value

[nucleic-acid]

Does this break the „backaddress“ line?

[mcanouil]

The easiest and fastest way to answer is to actually try it, using the example document: https://github.com/mcanouil/quarto-letter/blob/main/template.qmd

If you don't manage to get what you want please provide a small self contained and reproducible document.

You can share a self-contained "working" (reproducible) Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#small-is-beautiful-aim-for-a-single-document-with-10-lines.

If you have multiple files (and if it is absolutely required to have multiple files), please share as a Git repository.

R	Python
````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: knitr --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. ```{r} x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) y <- c(1, 4, 9, 16, 25) plot(x, y) ```  The end. ````	````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: jupyter --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. ```{python} import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] plt.plot(x, y) plt.show() ```  The end. ````

Additionally and if not already given, please share the output of quarto check within a code blocks (i.e., using three backticks ```txt), see https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#check.

Sorry, could you elaborate on this response? How is this interfering with a multiline for one key, I am not versed in the required syntax.
It, enticingly, says "multiline", so I was hoping it can be used to solve this, but the \\ linebreak for sure doesn't work:
