Original code from : https://github.com/divad12/resume

I copied it to prevent original history to show up on mine

new instruction

Installation

clone the code, put it in resume directory
cd resume
virtualenv -p python2.6 resume_env
source resume_env/bin/activate pip install PyYAML pip install text pip install cheetah make

original instruction

Resume was created using:

• YAML source - for the resume content
• LaTeX template - for presentation and layout
• Python script and Cheetah (templating engine) for compiling together the YAML and LaTeX
• pdflatex for .tex --> .pdf
• GNU Make for compilation
• Vim and git

The purpose is to avoid data duplication and to separate content from presentation. For example, I can now create an HTML resume by writing just a CSS + HTML template without having to copy-paste job descriptions, etc. Editing and updating is restricted to just one place - the YAML source.

Rough instructions (will update as a blog post when I roll a blog engine):

0. Install dependencies: LaTeX, Python, etc.
1. Install yaml parser. For Python: sudo apt-get install python-yaml Install tex package for python: sudo pip install tex Install python-cheetah (templating engine): sudo easy_install cheetah
2. Get LaTeX resume templates or use the one here (based on Paciorek's, the first link)

   • http://linux.dsplabs.com.au/resume-writing-example-latex-template-linux-curriculum-vitae-professional-cv-layout-format-text-p54/
   • http://www.thelinuxdaily.com/2008/10/latex-resume-examples/
   • http://www.yisongyue.com/resume/
3. Write resume in YAML format.
4. Modify a LaTeX resume template with Cheetah tags.
5. Write Makefile.
6. Compile, preview, and edit.

TODO:

• custom types to unescape Latex (eg \LaTeX, \url{})
• clean up this README and convert into markdown
• add HTML layout
• keep LinkedIn, Google profile, and Facebook in sync
• turn this into an easy-to-use web app
