I ran the following cmd/steps:-

1. rendercv new "Alex"

2. Changed the theme name under design in yaml file
   

3. rendercv render Alex_CV.yaml

Describe the bug
When generating cv the location is not showing

I think it would be great if we were able to add a link to some of the projects (App Store, Google Play, website,...).
This would allow a quick visualization of the project itself.

Describe the bug
As long as there is Chinese in the yaml file, it cannot run successfully

Describe the bug
The package allows me to create a file with the name "André Oliveira". However, when trying to render it throws the following message:
The input file contains a character that cannot be decoded with UTF-8 (b'\xe9')

To Reproduce

rendercv new "André Oliveira"
rendercv render André_Oliveira_CV.yaml

Screenshots

There should be a way to allow future education end dates or a way to force render despite the error.

In its current state, rendercv cannot render greek letters.

I found a way to manually overcome this problem.

1. Use manually lualatex instead of pdflatex in renderer.py (lines 942-946)
2. Insert these lines in Preamble.j2.tex of the theme that you use (for example themes/classic/Preamble.j2.tex)
   \usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
   and remove the default \usepackage[default, type1]{sourcesanspro} % for using source sans 3 font

In this way, Greek & English letters are rendered just fine!

My setup:

• Windows 10
• Python 3.11
• Rendercv 1.8

I hope that this post is helpful to anyone stuck on the same problem!

I have a paper that was published in a workshop on NeurIPS and it doesn't seem like a DOI was generated for it. I tried to add it without the DOI, but it seems that DOI is currently required. Could this field be optional?

Add BulletEntry type.

First - this is a fantastic project! Super useful.

In the academic space it's common to have a list of dozens of papers / abstracts / posters, etc. Being able to apply formatting to the authors list - like either bolding, or italicizing (or both) would help. Similar to how this guy's name is highlighted as a part of his research:

I have added a FAQ section to the user guide. Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated.

Originally posted by @lhegstrom in #31 (comment)

I would like to specify start and end dates in terms of months. For example

 education:
    - institution: University of California, Santa Cruz
        url: https://ucsc.edu
        area: Linguistics
        study_type: BA
        location: Santa Cruz, Calinfornia, USA
        start_date: "1979-09"
        end_date: "1984-06"

As you might imagine, I am disinclined to dig through 40 year old records to determine the precise day of the month for those events, and anyone reading the CV isn't going to care.

Describe the solution you'd like
start_date and end_date should allow YYYY-MM and YYYY forms of RFC3339 dates.

Additional context

I suspect that "1979-09" is a valid RFC3339 date, in which case my feature request may be considered a bug report.

I haven't looked at the source code (yet) to see if I can produce a useful pull request.

Discussed in #56

Describe the bug
Unable to create a hash character in a custom NormalEntry block. Tried both: C# and escaping it: C\#

To Reproduce

  custom_sections:
    - title: Skillz
      entry_type: NormalEntry
      entries:
        - name: "Programming Languages:"
          highlights:
            - "C\#"
            - "Special characters test: üğç"

Screenshots
Console Output:
CRITICAL | ScannerError('while scanning a double-quoted scalar', <ruamel.yaml.error.FileMark object at 0x000002089ECD4380>, "found unknown escape character '#'"

It would be nice if the duration and the text between two dates can be translated without creating his own template

for rendercv --help and rendercv --version respectively

even better, one dash instead of two:

• rendercv -h
• rendercv -v

Describe the bug
Version 1.5 breaks the rendering of "company" and "position" in the experience section.

To Reproduce

• Install rendercv==1.5
• create new cv with default yaml rendercv new test
• render the pdf rendercv render test_CV.yaml

Screenshots
Default cv under 1.5

Default cv under 1.4

1. [ ] EB-Garmand

Describe the bug
When using characters like ÄÖÜ the generator returns

The input file contains a character that cannot be decoded with UTF-8 (b'\xdc'):
 b'LF/regular/n/10 \xdcber-set-zun-gen '

To Reproduce
Please provide a minimal YAML input as a code block for us to produce the same error.

- start_date: 2023-10
        location: Berlin
        company: Test AG
        position: Werkstudent 
        highlights:
          - 'Umstellung der bestehende Übersetzungen auf eine neue Struktur, wodurch die Übersetzungen in der Software vereinheitlicht und die Wartbarkeit verbessert wurde'

In addition to LinkedIn, Orchid, Github and other social connections, it would be nice to support Mastodon

As it happens, I have a proposed solution in pull request #10 which provides more detail

I have added a FAQ section to the user guide. Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated. @LabAsim #63

Great project, looks very promising! It would be nice if someone could add a theme for Jake's resume, which I mainly use for my CV and I believe it's also one of the templates students use the most!

I have added a FAQ section to the user guide. Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated.

I don't know if it's a bug or if it was intended, but the publications entries are currently not showing the journal, even though we provide it. I think it's very important information to display, especially for publications done in top-tier conferences and journals.

Getting this error whenever I attempt to use the engineering resumes theme. It was not included in the installation of the RenderCV utility, so I tried to insert it manually wherever it was missing in the source files. I can't figure out why the path file is not being found.

Thanks for this amazing tool.

It would be great if it would be possible to add a profile picture to the header.

Thanks

I noticed when there is an underscore "_" within the email id, the rendercv utlity compiles the yaml file successfully, however when the tex is being compiled to PDF file it will start complaining from syntax issues, see below:

geometry detected driver: pdftex
(phath_to/TinyTeX/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontawesome5/ufontawesomefree1.fd)
! Missing $ inserted.

$
l.153 ...ace*{0.13cm}[email protected]}}

I think it would be a good addition to allow users to create custom entries and use them in their CV

When using text_alignment: justified, we get some word wrapping, which might confuse ATS systems. Using text_alignment: left-aligned avoids that, but looks worse. We would benefit from having the option to turn off work wrapping.

For example: RenderCV v1.10 2024-05-26

I have added a FAQ section to the user guide. Your assistance with this is greatly appreciated.

A cover letter is often a good addition to a CV.
A cover letter is more personalized, but there is a template that can be reused from letter to letter. Plus, it would be great if the CV and the cover letter are of the same formatting and style.
What do you think about the idea of adding the ability to generate a cover letter based on a template? I would be happy to describe my proposal in more detail if you think this functionality fits the project.

Thanks for the great project!

I have a publication which contains a colon in the title. However, I encountered the following problem:

There is a YAML error in the input file!

None

None

mapping values are not allowed here

  in "<unicode string>", line 25, column 25:
          - title: XXXX: XXXX XXXX XXX XXX ... 
                            ^ (line: 25)

I want to know if there's a way to preview a custom theme during development, if not then it would be great to provide a way to achieve that.

This is pointing out that #4 is not fully resolved by release https://github.com/sinaatalay/rendercv/releases/tag/v0.7

Describe the bug

It appears that when checking that an end_date is not before a start_date when one of the dates is YYYY, we end up with an attempt to compare in int with a date

ERROR | '>' not supported between instances of 'datetime.date' and 'int'

To Reproduce

Include in the input yaml, something like

 - institution: Stanford University
      url: https://stanford.edu
      area: Linguistics
      study_type: PhD (not completed)
      location: Stanford, California, USA
      start_date: "1984-09"
      end_date: "1987"

Comments

Whatever trick is used to get something like 1984-09 to be a valid datetime.date should be used for YYYY. I haven't looked at the source to see how you manage that.

Originally discussed with @c2tz in #46

I don't know if this affects all themes, but I've noticed that with the classic one, having too many highlights under the "Experience" section will result in weird formatting of the pages, since the template will not allow for the highlights to be split between pages.

I did some searches and found results that might allow me fix this, but I haven't managed to do it yet, example:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/165793/how-to-make-a-table-on-more-than-one-page-by-using-the-table-environment

Describe the bug
when I use lualatex (not tested but probably the same as xelatex so should only work with pdflatex) the last two lines of the "Preamble.j2.tex" file crash the compilation. However, when I override the file and delete these two lines, it works.

To Reproduce

1. run : rendercv render --use-local-latex-command lualatex .\John_Doe_CV.yaml

Screenshots

References entries with name, position, email, etc.
Maybe two types academic and professional like below

  references:
      - name: 
        title: Prof. Dr.
        institution: University
        email: 
     - name: 
       position: Simulation Engineer
       institution: Max Planck

First of all thanks a lot for the great project!

When adding a new entry in the Experience section of my cv I usually prefer to put more emphasis on the role I have than on the name of the company, as it is on the moderncv theme (Position field first and in bold, Company field second).

The other themes work the other way around, so if I want to use the classic theme I have to switch the values of the Position and Company fields to get the same result:

instead of the original setting:

I feel like it would be nice to have an option to simply choose the order of the two fields and have it consistent when one switches theme.
