Arbitrary Keys in Entries

The design.templates field controls how entry data is displayed. Add any custom field to your entries and reference it in templates using UPPERCASE placeholders.

How It Works

Templates use UPPERCASE PLACEHOLDERS that map to entry keys.

Given this entry:

yaml

company: Google
position: Software Engineer
tech_stack: Python, Go, Kubernetes

And this template:

yaml

design:
  templates:
    experience_entry:
      main_column: |-
        **COMPANY**, POSITION
        *Tech stack:* TECH_STACK

RenderCV replaces COMPANY → "Google", POSITION → "Software Engineer", TECH_STACK → "Python, Go, Kubernetes".

Any key you add to an entry becomes available as an uppercase placeholder.
