YAMLResume v0.10: VS Code Template & Dutch Support

We are thrilled to announce the release of YAMLResume v0.10. This release focuses on expanding our layout ecosystem with a developer-favorite theme, broadening our international support, and adding fine-grained control over document formatting.

New HTML Template: VS Code

For developers, your code editor is your home. Now your resume can feel just as familiar. We've introduced a new VS Code template for the HTML engine, featuring a dark theme inspired by the "Dark+" color scheme of Visual Studio Code.

YAMLResume VS Code Template

It features syntax-highlighting aesthetics—treating your name like a class, your skills like objects, and your experience like functions. To use it, simply update your layout configuration:

layouts:
  - engine: html
    template: vscode

This template is perfect for software engineers, devops professionals, and anyone who wants to signal their technical roots immediately.

Dutch Language Support

YAMLResume continues to grow globally. Thanks to the contribution from MattiaPun, we now support Dutch (nl)!

This brings our supported languages count to six:

To generate your resume in Dutch, set the locale in your resume.yml:

locale:
  language: nl

This will automatically translate section headers (e.g., "Werkervaring", "Opleidingen"), date formats, and country names.

LaTeX Paper Size Support

We've added explicit control over paper sizes for the LaTeX/PDF engine. While A4 is the standard in many parts of the world, US Letter is essential for North America.

You can now specify your preferred paper size directly in the configuration:

layouts:
  - engine: latex
    page:
      # Options: 'a4' (default) or 'letter'
      paperSize: letter

This ensures your PDF resume prints perfectly regardless of your region. Special thanks to djryanj for driving this feature!

Toggle Icons

Sometimes less is more. While icons add visual flair, certain formal or ATS-focused contexts might require a stricter text-only presentation.

We've introduced a showIcons option under the advanced settings for both HTML and LaTeX engines. This gives you the flexibility to toggle icons for contact details and social profiles on or off.

layouts:
  - engine: html
    advanced:
      showIcons: false
  - engine: latex
    advanced:
      showIcons: false

YAMLResume v0.10 is about giving you more choices—from how your resume looks to how it fits your local standards.
