# Clean LaTeX Vita

This is a modified version of Dario Taborelli's [cvtex](https://github.com/dartar/cvtex) template. The original is targeted to academics and scientist, this one is suited for everyone else.

Since I find writing LaTeX tedious, I've ported the whole thing to [pandoc](http://pandoc.org/), abstracted the layout into a TeX file, and moved the content to a yaml file.

## Dependencies

1. LaTeX
2. pandoc

To install LaTeX on Mac OS X, I recommend getting the smaller version BasicTeX from [here](https://tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html) and installing additional packages with `tlmgr` as needed. Same goes for Linux: install `texlive-base` with your package manager and add extra packages later when needed.

To install pandoc on Mac OS X, run `brew install pandoc`. To install it on Linux, refer to the [official docs](http://pandoc.org/installing.html).

## Getting started

Edit `content.yml` with your personal details, work experience, education, and desired settings. Run `make` to compile the PDF. Tweak on `template.tex` until you're satisfied with the result.

Refer to [pandoc's documentation](http://pandoc.org/demo/example9/templates.html) to learn more about how templates work.

Note: this template needs to be compiled with XeTeX.
