Clean LaTeX Vita
This is a modified version of Dario Taborelli's 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, abstracted the layout into a TeX file, and moved the content to a yaml file.
Dependencies
- LaTeX
- pandoc
To install LaTeX on Mac OS X, I recommend getting the smaller version BasicTeX from here 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.
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.
