Thanks. But the page margin is too narrow. How to increase the page margin?

Hi Samuel, I love your videos they have helped me out so much. I had a question about expanding on one of the projects you made on a previous video and was wondering if I could contact you about it.

hey Samuel. I want to render this Rmd to an HTML file. I am not finding an option to do so. As per documentation, both pdf and html must be generated, but it isnt. i tried render() function but thats not working. Can you please help

[@SamuelChan]

Hi Adithya, would love to help. If you don’t mind can you paste the relevant sections of your rmd file (remove your personal bio) or error code / logs etc so I can give you some targeted advice on what to try? “Not finding an option to do” -> does the Knit to html button not appear in the menu? :) any output from the render() function?

hello, how do you insert publications to the cv?

[@SamuelChan]

Taken directly from the package’s manual: “import your working history from other sources (such as ORCID, Google Scholar, or a maintained dataset), and include them programmatically into your CV” using the rorcid package: orcid_data

How can I change the default font to any other google font?

[@SamuelChan]

You need a separate style-file (.sty) in the same folder of your R markdown file, where you define the font-family. --- output: pdf_document: includes: in_header: custom.sty --- In `custom.sty` you then set up your fonts using LaTeX code. Another option is to edit the `.cls` (vitae/inst/rmarkdown/templates/awesomecv/skeleton/awesome-cv.cls) Reference 1: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/345803/how-to-change-the-font-in-awesome-cv Reference 2: github.com/mitchelloharawild/vitae/issues/81
