# md-cv

A jekyll-based markdown CV, which currently looks something like [this](http://blm.io/cv/), see this [blog post](http://blm.io/blog/markdown-academic-cv/) for details. Forked from the (great) markdown CV of [elipapa](https://github.com/elipapa/markdown-cv).

### How to use

To build, clone the repo and run jekyll:

```bash

git clone git://github.com/blmoore/md-cv

cd md-cv/

jekyll serve

```

(You may need to [install jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/).)

Then point your browser to [0.0.0.0:4000](http://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](https://github.com/davidhampgonsalves/resume) 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:

```CSS

#education {

	page-break-before: always;

}

```
