  • Yes, I have checked that this feature request isn't already filed.

Description & Motivation

Thanks for the great work! When creating the cv page, I have to add the publications manually one by one. Is it possible to use the previous pubilications.bib file to automatically generate it, similar to the the publications pages?

Research direction
The contributor should study how the existing publications page generates a list of publications from a .bib file (likely using Jekyll plugins like jekyll scholar or custom Ruby code in plugins/). They need to locate the relevant files, such as layouts/publications.html and any bib parsing logic. Then, they should adapt that approach for the CV page (e.g., layouts/cv.html) to automatically populate publications from the same .bib file. Check the issue comments for any additional suggestions or maintainer input.
