Curricula Vitae / Résumés ⇒ Cannot find missing symbol, File ended while scanning use

[Colin93]

Hi everyone

I'm writing my CV. I have an error message saying I have a symbol missing... I checked but cannot find where... Could any of you help me out ?

My error message is ! File ended while scanning use of \SkillsEntry.
<inserted text>
\par
<*> cv.tex
I suspect you have forgotten a `}', causing me
to read past where you wanted me to stop.
I'll try to recover; but if the error is serious,
you'd better type `E' or `X' now and fix your file.

Here's my .tex file.

The error message tells you what is wrong and where it is wrong, and you cannot fix that?

By the way, you are not using the documentclass as said in the comment afterwards, hence you get the warnings.

You don't use the command SkillsEntry correctly.


EDIT: Due to the very strange definition of things, i did some research. This is a template from Frits. Please. They are all bad.
Also, you removed the header while distributing, which is not allowed.

Hi Johanes_B

I managed to correct it. Thankyou for your help. I changed the document class because with the Texmaker version I have, there seems to be issues. Maybe my error messages had nothing to do with it...
