This is a fork of mikepqr/resume.md customized for my own resume, which is written in Markdown and HTML, styled with a custom stylesheet.
This allows you to run watcher.py to automatically update the resume.html and resume.pdf files when any md or css file in the project is updated, which gives the flexibility to name your markdown file as you wish.
- Python ≥ 3.6
- python-markdown (
pip install markdown) - Optional, required for PDF output: Google Chrome or Chromium
-
Download resume.py, resume.md and resume.css (or make a copy of this repository by using the template, forking, or cloning).
-
Edit resume.md (the placeholder text is taken with thanks from the JSON Resume Project)
-
Run
python3 resume.pyto build resume.html and resume.pdf.-
Use
--no-htmlor--no-pdfto disable HTML or PDF output. -
Use
--chrome-path=/path/to/chromeif resume.py cannot find your Chrome or Chromium executable.
-
Edit resume.css to change the appearance of your resume. The default style is extremely generic, which is perhaps what you want in a resume, but CSS gives you a lot of flexibility. See, e.g. The Tech Resume Inside-Out for good advice about what a resume should look like (and what it should say).
Change the appearance of the PDF version (without affecting the HTML version) by
adding rules under the @media print CSS selector.
Change the margins and paper size of the PDF version by editing the @page CSS
rule.
python-markdown is by default a very basic
markdown compiler, but it has a number of optional extensions that you may want
to enable (by adding to the list of extensions
here).
attr_list
in particular may by useful if you are editing the CSS.
