I'm trying to compile the template of a resume, but I get the following errors:

"Use of \@ doesn't match its definition."
"Leaders not followed by proper glue"
"Undefined control sequence."
"Missing number, treated as zero."
"Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted)."

Isolating the line that gives me the error, I could write a minimal example that still gives me all the errors, except the first one:

\documentclass[a4papers,11pt]{article}

\def\vhrulefill#1{\leavevmode\leaders\hrule@height #1 \hfill \kern\z@}


\begin{document}


\vhrulefill{0.9pt}


\end{document}

Although this example doesn't result in the first error, I get the

Use of @ doesn't match its definition.

all over the place in the original file. What's going on? I use an old computer with an old version of TeX Live (2014), could this be related?

    Probably by using @ without enclose between \makeatletter and \makeatother – skpblack Aug 09 '20 at 21:52

    Maybe this helps as an explanation: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/8351/what-do-makeatletter-and-makeatother-do – Skillmon Aug 09 '20 at 22:24
  • Thanks! A makeatletter at the beginning solved everything. Would you make an answer for me to vote for it? – Rick Aug 09 '20 at 23:13

    Welcome to the site. If you feel I closed your question in error, please let me know. It seems to be a classic instance of where \makeatletter is needed to permit a macro that includes @ in its name. – Steven B. Segletes Aug 09 '20 at 23:21
