TypstError: unclosed label

[ulbrichdennis]

Hi!

I really like the idea to get a CV which is automatically generated, however I get the following error message:

TypstError: unclosed label (see the code below)

Unfortunately, I cannot find my mistake and do not understand the error message.

Do you have any idea how to fix the problem?

Best!

Run cv_file=$(find _data  -maxdepth 1 -type f \( -name "cv.yaml" -o -name "cv.yml" \))

Can you share your cv.yml file so we can check it?

But this is probably due to some weird characters being used, like emojis or something like that? It seems like it is not being able to close a section in your file.

I am not aware of having used any weird characters but, anyway, here’s the content of my file cv.yml.

This is an issue with how RenderCV renders this. 2 things:

• use markdown links
  • Instead of html links <a href="https://www.dulbrich.de/teachings/math1/">Mathematik 1</a>
  • use markdown style [Mathematik 1](https://www.dulbrich.de/teachings/math1/)
• When using a line with only a markdown link, the render is not understanding that it is a string:
  • This text works [Mathematik 1](https://www.dulbrich.de/teachings/math1/) because it understands it as string since it starts with one
  • [Mathematik 1](https://www.dulbrich.de/teachings/math1/) this text doesn't work because it doesn't start with a string, but with a markdown code instead
  • To force it understand as string, simply add double quotes
    • "[Mathematik 1](https://www.dulbrich.de/teachings/math1/) this text works"

Best solution is to try it in the web app.
