Currently it it not possible to have a cover letter with more than one page. This should be supported in the future.

The language ratings are very ambiguous if only the highest rating is used. The reader then does not know how long the bar can be, since no reference is provided. This may be remedied by using a different color as the border of the bar.

Hi
thanks for the great template. It took me some time to understand its usage, but I was finally capable to modify it to my liking.
However, I'm running now into the issue that my final PDF's size is >10mb. My cv fits on two pages. Is there any easy way to reduce its size? Website like get-in-it limit cv upload to the size of 10mb.

In my enviroment , dvipdfmx must be installed otherwise will get a comiple error, so the document should be update?

With the following snippet in my CV,

\begin{cvReferences}
        \cvAddReference{%
            name=John Doe,
            company=Self employed,
            position=Engineer,
            mobile phone=+0123456789,
            [email protected]}%
\end{cvReferences}

My code does not compile successfully. The fault is to an unknown key email.

When I looked at the source code of the limecv.cls, I discovered that there isn't a declaration for the email key. The same observation holds here at the source code on GitHub.

Hello,

my CV is longer then one page, so I found something on Github and added a blank element into limecv.cls:

[First page]
\end{cvMainContent}

% FORCE END OF PAGE 1
\newpage
\begin{cvSidebar}
\end{cvSidebar}
\begin{cvMainContent}
\begin{cvBlank}
\end{cvBlank}

After that I can see the same color on the left side like on page one. But when I want to add begin\cvSkills I'm missing the headline Skills. I'm using there two programming languages side by side, but the first language is covered by the color on left side of the page. See the example picture here.

How can I tell LaTeX to print it, few cm more on the right side?

Some people thing rating a language skill is odd. So let's make it optional.

Font loading does not check that font spec might also be loaded by the user, or that the Fira font might be unavailable, even if compiled with Xe/LuaLaTeX. This should be improved.

I created a CV with two pages following the approach mentioned in issue #12. I stumbled over a formatting issue that occurs when the first environment on the first page has more or less entries than the first environment on the second page. In this case, the line of the second environment on the second page that connects the bullet points seems to start from the first entry of the first environment and not of the second environment. I tested this with v0.1.7 and v0.1.8.

The following MWE produces the shown result on the second page. As soon as the third item in the first environment is included, the formatting of the second page is as expected. The order of environments does not seem to have any influence on this issue. I also tried it with custom environments.

I find the mirrored layout option very interesting, especially with regard to a two-page resume like I have.

Unfortunately, not everything is mirrored. For example, the green bar appears on the right, but the text and images remain on the left. Also, the title line would have to end at the green area (and possibly go all the way to the left).

Attached is a MWE in the hope that it helps. In my eyes a "Nice to Have" and there are probably more "urgent" issues, but I wanted to mention it.

I am using TexStudio and Miktex and I can't seem to get this template to compile. I getting a bunch of errors that seem to be centered around the Fira. Where should I put the Fira folder or how do you install this font? The errors i receive are below. Thank you.

Creating new sections requires to edit the source code or to use LaTeX hacks. Additionally, it also requires knowledge of how limecv works internally. This should be made much easier and more accessible.

Currently Xe/Lua examples are not included in the build test.

Fontawesome5 contains some new icons, it would be nice to have access to these.

I have tried just updating the cls file to use fontawesome5 instead of normal fontawesome but get the following issue when running:

Package fontawesome5 Error: The requested icon briefcase was not found. \begin{cvExperience}

But it does show the icon.

PS: I have almost no experience with LaTeX cls files, just tried hacking it.

Hi @opieters,

Thanks for publishing this great LaTeX style out in the wild! i would like to add publications to the list of supported sections, and have a working solution/fork that I would like some help with. I basically copied the 'Experiences' section and added fullcite commands as cvItems. I don't know enough about TeX documentation to know how to fill in the .dtx file - can you give me a hand there?

Thanks in advance.

When using the command cvSetLanguage{chinese} and change the typesetting into xeletex, the code can be compiled without errors, but the output pdf is blank. And if use pdflatex and change to English, it works well. Can anyone help me with it?

The documentation is still incomplete and not always very clear. This should be improved for the next big release. Furthermore, the source code itself is poorly documented. This should also be improved to make it easier for others to contribute and build upon this package.

I want to use it in Chinese, does it support Chinese?

Seem that limecv does not support multipage， is it a bug？

Any plans to publish the latest release (v0.1.6) to CTAN?

I'm trying to insert the orcid info in my cv. How can we add a new field and a new icon to the contact info?
Thanks for the awesome template.
Pedro

Add support for languages other than English.

I've followed the instructions in other issues about making the CV in multiple pages but I think that the sidebar is superfluous in the second page. I would like to get rid of it while keeping the LimeCV layout.

I probably could figure out how to do it, which might involve overriding cvMainContent environment for the second page but my skills in LaTeX are pretty limited so it's likely to take a little while.

The sidebar is good for increasing the density of the first page, but becomes empty in the second and next pages.
