awesome-cv indenting issue

Question

I am using the awesome-cv template and after the first entry in some categories, the second entry has an indent.

Here is my pared down code to illustrate the issue:

---
name: name
position: "position"
address: "address"
phone: "number"
www: website
email: email
twitter: twitter
github: github
linkedin: linkedin
headcolor: 54a474
date: "`r format(Sys.time(), '%B %Y')`"
output: vitae::awesomecv
always_allow_html: yes
header-includes:
  \usepackage{multicol}
  \usepackage{colortbl}
  \arrayrulecolor{white}
  \usepackage{hhline}
  \definecolor{light-gray}{gray}{0.95}

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help troubleshoot.

Not sure, what you are doing, and pretty sure, it won't compile in my system ;-)

As a kind of template, your code should at least have these 3 elements:

• documentclass
• packages you are using
• code inside the document-environment

I.e. it should at least look like this:

\documentclass{article}% i.e. the documentclass, you are using
\usepackage{multicol}
% other packages you use

\begin{document}
    % put your code here
\end{document}

Let me make a guess: are you using overleaf https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/awesome-cv/dfnvtnhzhhbm ? If so, next time please put it in your opening question. This group is all about Questions&Answers, which differs somewhat from other discussion forums ;-)

I have to stop, as I'm not providing a solution (which is at least very hard to do at the moment), and I start giving opinions ... which does not comply with this places rules.
