I generate my CV [1] through a setup consisting jade templates, brunch and css. The content of CV is in a yaml [2] file which is compiled to a static html. Code is on github [3] for anyone to use. :)

System Biology and Reality Mining?!, some of those sound made up (but I'll be curious to research them).

Lot of (way too much) personal information to be sitting publicly on the net, imho.

robot? haha that's pretty cool

What if you wanted to export this as PDF? Is that straight forward or no?

Just print it as pdf. :)

There's a media query stylesheet for printing.

Really? What do you mean like print the web page?

Whoa that's cool it splits it up into three pages. Pretty sweet.

I use a similar workflow for my resume (really it's just a hand-written html file with some css templates for different section types), but I haven't found "printing to PDF" to be adequate. All the common browsers override your stylesheet with a "printing friendly" one, and do things like putting the URL at the bottom of the page. Instead, I use wkhtmltopdf instead, which is entirely adequate for this purpose.

I have an invoice generation script that outputs html, and I unfortunately have to open it in Chrome and "print to pdf" manually. If you control styling, you can usually set it to look the way you want. Also browser HTML headers/footers can be disabled.

wkhtmltopdf output never looked quite right to me.
