Useful tools
The following is not required to use RCV-VSCode, just good QoL concepts to consider for a better experience
YAML file formater
To improve your experience using RCV- VSCode, we recommend having a YAML file formatter with schema support, that way you will be able to have autocompletion for RenderCV features and an automatic linter for real-time input correction*.
YAML by Red Hat is the recommended extension to install in order to have the full experience
"input correction" does not include grammar/spelling checks, the extension only checks for valid inputs that RenderCV can parse.
