Contact info not turned into links #40

Open JWDebler opened 4 years ago

JWDebler commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

The github, twitter, linkedin and website lines in the 'Contact' section are only turned into functional links if you put the full URL in the google spreadsheet. That way however it does look terrible in the HTML or PDF version. If you create a link in the spreadsheet, the knitting function will only look at the 'text' part of the link, and not turn it into an actual link.

Is there a way around this?

Cheers

You can use markdown formatting in the spreadsheets (at least I can do that in .csv files). Therefore, you can put [JWDebler](https://www.github.com/JWDebler) in the spreadsheet for the GitHub account for example.

Hi @etiennebacher , I'm using .csv files trying what you suggested for link formatting, but I'm still getting the same result as JWDebler above with the link getting cut off on the right hand side. If I include the brackets, the extra bracketed text is not hyperlinked, but is printed right before the actual link (that is hyperlinked). Is there something else you're doing as well to make this work?

Hello, I'm not using this package anymore to make my CV. However, based on the reactions to my answer above, I guess this worked for several people. Maybe you could check how they did their CV. Also, it's hard to know if you're doing something wrong without having access to your code/CSV file.
