## Installation
### The easy way
1. Download the file [LoLaTeXcv.cls](LoLaTeXcv.cls) and put it in the same
directory as your LaTeX curriculum vitae.
### The smart way
If you have multiple curricula vitae using this class, it can be very painful
to have a copy of [LoLaTeXcv.cls](LoLaTeXcv.cls) in each directory. The best
solution is to have a *unique* copy of this file, in the right place, that is
in `TeXInstallationDirectory/tex/latex/base/LoLaTeXcv/`, as dictated by the
mighty [*LaTeX
Wikibook*](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Installing_Extra_Packages#Installing_a_package).
Now please, follow these steps.
1. Locate your LaTeX installation directory.
- If you are using MacTex on macOS, it is `Users/USERNAME/Library/texmf/`;
- If you are on Unix-type systems, it is `~/texmf/`;
- If you are on Windows, run `kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFHOME$` in a
terminal, and the directory is displayed.
2. If they do not exist, create the sub-directories `tex/latex/base/` in this
directory.
3. Open a terminal session in this directory and run `git clone
https://github.com/kryzar/LoLaTeXcv`.
## Usage
### Getting started
Once you successfully installed the class, open your LaTeX curriculum vitae,
and use the `LoLaTeXcv` document class. You must manage encoding and language
as well. You do not need any other package. You may afterwards begin the
document. This is what your file should look like.
```latex
\documentclass{LoLaTeXcv}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
% maybe a language package e.g. \usepackage[french]{babel}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
```
To display your name and personal information (your address, phone number,
email address or anything else), use the `lltxPersonalInfo`.
- This command should be used *right after* `\begin{document}`.
- This command should be used once, and only once.
- The first argument of `lltwPersonalInfo` *must* be your name ; the three
remaining arguments are displayed as followed.
```latex
\documentclass{LoLaTeXcv}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
% do not forget Babel
\begin{document}
\lltxPersonalInfo{
Your Name}{
Stuff on the left}{
Stuff in the center}{
Stuff on the right}
% content goes here
\end{document}
```
You may now use the other commands and environments! Each command or
environment begins with the prefix `lltx` and is explained here. See
[Example.tex](Example.tex) and [Example.pdf](Example.pdf) for usage examples.
### Hierarchy of a LoLaTeXcv curriculum vitae
There are two level of hierarchy : `lltxSection` and `lltxSubSection`,
respectively equivalent to `section` and `subsection`. `lltxSection` should be
used to organize a curriculum vitae into thematic parts (e.g. Career) and
`lltxSubSection` should be used to devide a `lltsSection` into individual
components (e.g. `Employment history` and `Education`).
#### A section with `lltxSection`
```latex
\lltxSection{Section title}
```
#### A subsection with `lltxSubSection`
```latex
\lltxSubSection{SubSection title}
```
### LoLaTeXcv environments
Each and everyone of these environments should be preceded by a title made with
`lltxSubSection`.
#### An employment history with `lltxJob`
```latex
\begin{lltxJob}[Job title]{
Compagny}{
Dates}{
Place}
\item Descriptive item.
% more descriptive items
\end{lltxJob}
```
The `lltxJob` environment is best suited for education and employment history.
Item descriptions are horizontally aligned and anything written after
`\lltxdotfill` is pushed to the end of the line. Here is an example.
This environment is very adaptive and can be used without `\lltxdotfill`, for
example to organize your content as a list of subsections. Here is an example.
#### An itemize with `lltxItemize`
```latex
\begin{lltxItemize}
\item Descriptive item.
% more descriptive items
\end{lltxItemize}
```
Use the `lltxItemize` environment instead of the standard `itemize`
environment. Here is an example.
#### A description with `lltxDescription`
```latex
\begin{lltxDescription}
\item[Item title] Descriptive item. \lltxdotfill Additional info
% More descriptive items.
% or
\item[Item title] Descriptive item. % no \lltxdotfill and Additional info
\end{lltxDescription}
```
Use the `lltxDescription` environment instead of the standard `description`
environment. Here is an example.
### Notes
- `\url` commands are displayed in the same font as the document, not in the
~~ugly~~ traditional monospaced font.
- I created `\lltxdotfill` because the space between consecutive dots in
`\dotfill` was too short. You can adjust the space used by `lltxdotfill` by
changing it directly in the class file [LoLaTeX.cls](LoLaTeXcv.cls). If you
do not like dots, you can use `\hfill` instead of `lltxdotfill` (you will get
a blank space), or any other "filling" command.
- If you need more sophisticated sections, such as a complex employment
history, I suggest you give [Trey Hunner's *curriculum vitae*
class](https://github.com/treyhunner/resume) a try.
- If you use `lltxDescription`, you need to compile twice.
