Author highlight in publication section

[gVallverdu]

Hi

I tried to use the included option that turn bold author names in \mynames list. But it seems it does not work. I did it on your sample.tex example.

I tried both with xelatex and pdflatex. I ran pdflated; biber; pdflatex.

Is a special compilation option needed or a minimal texlive version ?

In case other enter in the same issue, here are some remarks:

• it does not work with TexLive 2021 but it does with TexLive 2024 (and 2023 on overleaf)
• The names you write in \mynames have to match what is in the bib file, whatever the bib style you are using. For example, if there is Lim, Tracy in the author field in the bibtex file, and the output in the bibliography is Lim, T., you have to write Lim/Tracy in \mynames.

On another hand, if you want, I add the following macro to the class to include "project" without location but with the possibility to say your position/role in the project:

\newcommand{\cvRoleMarker}{\faUsers}
\newcommand{\rolename}{role}

...

\newcommand{\cvproject}[3]{%
  {\large\color{emphasis}#1}
  \normalsize
  \qquad%
  \ifstrequal{#2}{}{}{%
    {\small%
      \BeginAccSupp{method=pdfstringdef,ActualText={\datename:}}\cvDateMarker\EndAccSupp{}%
      ~#2%
    }}%
  \qquad%
  \ifstrequal{#3}{}{}{%
    {\small%
      \BeginAccSupp{method=pdfstringdef,ActualText={\rolename:}}\cvRoleMarker\EndAccSupp{}%
        ~#3%
    }}\par
  \medskip\normalsize
}

LaTeX's hooks management for packages had some syntax change: between 2020-10-01 and 2021-11-15 the syntax was \AddToHook{package/after/<name>}, but this was changed to \AddToHook{package/<name>/after} after 2021-11-15. This should now be accounted for by https://github.com/liantze/AltaCV/commit/f1c41cf9b70968100e30c6a132e6e4813d3f6d33 .

• The names you write in \mynames have to match what is in the bib file, whatever the bib style you are using.

Yes indeed; see comments just before \mynames in sample.tex.
