README.md

CV/Résumé Boilerplate

It contains a modified version of Dario Taborelli's cvtex template. The original is targeted to academics and scientist, while this one should be well suited for everyone else.

Since I find writing LaTeX tedious, I've ported the whole thing to pandoc, abstracted the layout into a TeX file, and moved the content to a yaml file.

Take a look at output.pdf to see the final result.

Dependencies

LaTeX with the following extra packages: fontspec geometry multicol xunicode xltxtra marginnote sectsty ulem hyperref
pandoc

To install LaTeX on Mac OS X, I recommend getting the smaller version BasicTeX from here and installing the additional packages with tlmgr afterwards. Same goes for Linux: install texlive-base with your package manager and add the needed additional packages later.

To install pandoc on Mac OS X, run brew install pandoc. To install it on Linux, refer to the official docs.

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 to learn more about how templates work.

Note: this template needs to be compiled with XeTeX.

Available settings

mainfont: Hoefler Text is the default, but every font installed in your system should work.
fontsize: Possible values are 10pt, 11pt and 12pt.
geometry: A string that sets the margins. Check out this page to learn how the package geometry works.
