Probably overkill, but I use Pandoc to generate tailored resumes for roles and jobs I’m interested in.

I keep a list of all my skills, experience and education in a YAML file and have a LaTeX template that I clone when creating a new resume. Then it’s just a matter of replacing the template fields with YAML metadata and running Pandoc.

I have the same set up to generate both my resume and my website using an HTML template. Makes it easy to update one YAML file and update both my CV and my personal website

The man page is a very nice touch! Do you have source in GH or elsewhere about this harness? I am using Restructured text and rst2pdf but this looks so much nicer!

Disregard, I followed your Keybase to you personal git server. Very nice and inspired, I will check it out!

Glad you were able to find it! I should have linked originally. For anyone else interested the repo is at https://git.mehalter.com/mehalter/mehalter.com

It was also fun to make a groff template to output a file you can open with man too lol

I also use pandoc to generate CVs, happy to know I'm not alone :) I don't do anything as sophisticated as you, but my main resume is in markdown so I use it to create a .pdf or word doc and to apply .css styling where appropriate.
