# resume.md

![Resume](resume.png)

Write your resume in

[Markdown](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mikepqr/resume.md/main/resume.md),

style it with [CSS](resume.css), output to [HTML](resume.html) and

[PDF](resume.pdf).

## Prerequisites

 - Python ≥ 3.6

 - [python-markdown](https://python-markdown.github.io/) (`pip install

   markdown`)

 - Optional, required for PDF output: Google Chrome or Chromium

## Usage

 1. Download [resume.py](resume.py), [resume.md](resume.md) and

    [resume.css](resume.css) (or make a copy of this repository by [using the

    template](https://github.com/mikepqr/resume.md/generate), forking, or

    cloning).

 2. Edit [resume.md](resume.md) (the placeholder text is taken with thanks from

    the [JSON Resume Project](https://jsonresume.org/themes/))

 3. Run `python3 resume.py` to build resume.html and resume.pdf.

     - Use `--no-html` or `--no-pdf` to disable HTML or PDF output.

     - Use `--chrome-path=/path/to/chrome` if resume.py cannot find your Chrome

       or Chromium executable.

## Customization

Edit [resume.css](resume.css) to change the appearance of your resume. The

default style is extremely generic, which is perhaps what you want in a resume,

but CSS gives you a lot of flexibility. See, e.g. [The Tech Resume

Inside-Out](https://www.thetechinterview.com/) for good advice about what a

resume should look like (and what it should say).

Change the appearance of the PDF version (without affecting the HTML version) by

adding rules under the `@media print` CSS selector.

Change the margins and paper size of the PDF version by editing the [`@page` CSS

rule](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/%40page/size).

[python-markdown](https://python-markdown.github.io/) is by default a very basic

markdown compiler, but it has a number of optional extensions that you may want

to enable (by adding to [the list of extensions

here](https://github.com/mikepqr/resume.md/blob/f1b0699a9b66833cb67bb59111f45a09ed3c0f7e/resume.py#L112)).

in particular may by useful if you are editing the CSS.
