markdown cv / résumé built with jekyll

md-cv

My markdown CV, which currently looks something like this, see this blog post for details.

### How to run

A (jekyll-based) markdown CV tweaked slightly from the great design by elipapa (see their blog post).

To build, clone the repo and run jekyll:

git clone git://github.com/blmoore/md-cv
cd md-cv/
jekyll serve

Then point your browser at 0.0.0.0:4000.

HTML version

The HTML version is generated by Jekyll under _site using media/cv-screen.css. Most changes from the original repo are artificial:

• fixed horizontal scrolling issue caused by lots of funky CSS positioning (lots of left etc.)
• messed with colours, fonts
• now imports font-awesome icons and Open sans
• moved ul into 3-col layout (iirc following another markdown cv I tried)

PDF version

Note the separate CSS for print and screen media (see media/cv-print.css), my approach was to build a somewhat "jazzy" html version and a toned-down print version (for PDF). My changes introduce CSS3 columns in some sections which currently don't print to PDF under the blink/webkit engines (as of March 2015), so to print properly I suggest firefox.

Another problem with the PDF is pagebreaks, they're often not handled gracefully so I've added one in explicitly. Say you want a pagebreak before the section titled "education" (h2 text is set to id so use unique section headers!), the print media CSS would be:

#education {
	page-break-before: always;
}
