I'm trying to use curve class to insert plain text in the middle of a rubric, without fancy key/prefix formatting.
As the manual reads in page 9 here: https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/curve/curve.pdf
It seems it is as simple as using the \text option (optionally also combined with \par).
Well, this seems to span lines across and out of the document:
brief_description.tex:
\begin{rubric}{Brief Description}
\text{\par
This is a brief summary about the experience on several fields and professional interests based on the studies and long trajectory in several aspects and . . .\par}
\end{rubric}
document.tex (this is the document to compile)
