"If you are looking for that one trick that lets you get ahead and jumpstart your career, my advice to you is: Don’t choose the path of least resistance. When training a muscle, you only get stronger with resistance. The same is true for learning any new skill. It is when you struggle with a specific problem or concept that you tend to remember."
A open source Node.js lib that allows people to create and version control resumes using YAML.
Support LaTeX/PDF/Markdown outputs in one shot with professional typesetting.
Support English/Chinese/Norwegian/French languages out of the box.
With clang style, real time error reporting.
Actually I am planning to integrate AI to generate this kind of YAML first and then convert it to PDF.
The idea:
1. apply strict schema validation to YAML so AI won't generate wrong/invalid data
2. write prompt to AI help people generate a sample YAMLResume
3. adopt AI to parse existing PDF or images and convert it to YAMLResume format
Typst is a pretty good alternative to LaTeX and I agree all pros in your comment, with only one major deal breaker now: its CJK support is not mature enough and not producation-ready yet.
If you do not insist on org-mode, then maybe you can try to organize your CV in YAML format with a tool called YAMLResume: https://yamlresume.dev, which transforms a resume in YAML to LaTeX and generate PDF.
I know groff, at least the bible K&R C programming book is published by groff, if I am not wrong.
For me, I think groff/LaTeX/SILE/typst all belongs to same category, i.e, the author write some markup language, then processed by some processors, then get an output. I chose LaTeX and Typst as the classic ones in my post:
- LaTeX is the classic, old school typesetting engine
- Typst, clearly more modern, with many advanced design like incremental compilation, wasm and web app, instant preview, better error message.
For others, groff/SILE, to be honest I don't have time to dive into each of these.
For no reason facebook blocked my account long time ago.
Can't figure out how to recover at all.
No response and no way to appeal.
