+# RenderCV Classic Theme — Known Quirks and Patterns
+
+## Education
+- **Degree field wraps badly** if text is long. Use abbreviations: `BS` not `Bachelor of Science`.
+
+## Work Experience
+- **Dual roles at same company:** Combine into one entry with a slash separator in the title field.
+  - Good: `Practice Manager / Technical Architect`
+  - Bad: Two separate entries with duplicate date ranges (looks broken in output)
+
+## Projects
+- **Project URLs** render best as `Name — [domain.com](url)` format in the `name` field rather than a separate URL field.
+
+## Design Options
+- `show_top_note: false` under `design.page` removes the "Last updated on ..." text from the header.
+- Available built-in themes: `classic`, `engineeringclassic`, `engineeringresumes`, `moderncv`, `sb2nov`
+
+## Phone Numbers
+- Must be in international format: `+1-xxx-xxx-xxxx`
+- Local format (e.g., `(555) 123-4567`) causes a validation error at render time.
