mrzool / invoice-boilerplate Goto Github PK

A nice template, that worked fine till some time ago, but I assume that either a pandoc or a latex package update broke it(?). When I run it as is, I get:

pandoc details.yml -o output.pdf --template=template.tex --pdf-engine=xelatex
[WARNING] Could not deduce format from file extension .yml
  Defaulting to markdown
[WARNING] Invalid 'lang' value 'english'.
  Use an IETF language tag like 'en-US'.

After correcting the language code, I get another error:

[WARNING] Could not deduce format from file extension .yml
  Defaulting to markdown

Hello,

Is there any option to include new taxes a part from VAT through the spreadtab package?

Thanks in advance.

Getting this error after running the application as normally.

Hi. It would be useful to have a signature, optionally, in the invoice. I've proposed a pull request here that changes the template, the yaml file, and adds documentation about it in the readme: #21 Please do consider it.

I get the following error and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm just trying to compile the default invoice

I wonder a bit why it says line 61, because \setmainlanguage is on line 69 in template.tex

To compile the default invoice (on Windows 10), we need fonts:

Hoefler Text: https://fontsgeek.com/fonts/Hoefler-Text-Regular

Helvetica Neue: https://fontsgeek.com/helvetica-neue-font

Perhaps the download links can be added in the Readme.

As is, I get the following error:

pandoc details.yml -o output.pdf --template=template.tex --pdf-engine=xelatex pandoc: unrecognized option --pdf-engine=xelatex'
Try pandoc --help for more information.
makefile:6: recipe for target 'output.pdf' failed
make: *** [output.pdf] Error 2
`

If replace "pdf" with "latex" in FLAGS = --pdf-engine=xelatex in makefile, it works as intended.

When I run make, I get the following warning:

pandoc details.yml -o output.pdf --template=template.tex --pdf-engine=xelatex
[WARNING] Could not deduce format from file extension .yml
  Defaulting to markdown

That doesn't seem right, IMO. We can't treat YAML as Markdown, can we?

I have written an invoice with several items and each item has details.

The table gets very long, so that the first page of the PDF file only contains the letter header, the second page contains the table and the third page contains the closing note.

What do I need to change to get page breaks within the table, so that my invoice fits on two pages and the first page doesn't look empty?

I tried using tblr and longtblr, but I ran into \noalign issues.
