About YAML header fields

This section documents some of the YAML fields to know for this template.

FIELD	DESCRIPTION
`author`	name of the author
`jobtitle`	appears as first row in the CV
`address`	appears as second row in the CV
`fontawesome`	logical, defaults to `TRUE`. If `TRUE`, use fontawesome icons
`email`	your email, for the third row
`github`	optional, displays Github user name on third row
`orcid`	optional, displays ORCID ID on third row
`phone`	optional, displays your phone number on third row
`web`	optional, displays your domain name on third row
`updated`	optional, displays (on third row) when file was last updated. If FALSE or omitted, date of update is communicated in footer
`rdateformat`	optional, but takes R syntax to format date of update.
`keywords`	not terribly useful, but some keywords to embed in PDF so Google may find it

Additional Comments

The fontawesome argument calls the fontawesome5 package in LaTeX. This assumes the use of TeXLive 2015 at the latest.

latex_engine is hard-set as "xelatex". This permits greater flexibility in use of fonts through the mainfont argument you can specify in the YAML.

I'll be frank that disabling fontawesome doesn't make much sense to me, though the option is there if you want it. The CV just won't look as nice with it disabled.

fontawesome controls the use of icons in the header, though icons for ORCID and OSF come from the academicicons package. Everything else comes from fontawesome5.
