## Overview



**tccv** (two columns curriculum vitae) is a LaTeX class inspired by the

template found at

[latextemplates](http://www.latextemplates.com/template/two-column-one-page-cv)

by Alessandro Plasmati.



From a TeXnical point of view this is a complete rewrite. From the user

perspective, the most relevant differences from the original template are:



* this is a class, not a template document;

* more than one page are handled properly;

* the fonts are selected from the

  [psnfss](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/psnfss) collection, so no

  custom font installation should be required;

* it is plain LaTeX/Koma-script, so the CV can be compiled

  with the usual tools, latex pdflatex and lualatex included;

* the implementation is heavily based on custom environments

  and macros, so the document should be much easier to read

  (and customize);

* tccv is based on scrartcl (from Koma-script), not on article.



## How to use



You can download the [zipped

tarball](https://github.com/ntd/tccv/archive/refs/heads/master.zip) that

includes a couple of examples or pick up only the relevant [LaTeX

class](https://github.com/ntd/tccv/raw/master/tccv.cls).



The code is maintained in a git repository [browsable

online](https://github.com/ntd/tccv): fill free to fork it and extends in any

way you like.



A sample PDF generated with the command `lualatex nicola.en.tex` can be

[downloaded](https://github.com/ntd/tccv/raw/master/nicola.en.pdf).



## Howto



### Personal box on top



The `\personal` box by default follows the text flow. If you want to

affix it on the top (or on the bottom) you can make it a float, e.g.:



    \begin{figure}[b] % Push the figure at the bottom; use t for top

    \personal[url]

             {address}

             {phone}

             {email}

    \end{figure}



Alternatively you can use the myfloat package:



    % In the preamble

    \usepackage{float}

    \newfloat{myfloat}{t}{} % 'myfloat' is arbitrary, 't' stands for 'top'



    % Then wrap your personal data using the newly created custom float

    \begin{myfloat}

    \personal[url]

             {address}

             {phone}

             {email}

    \end{myfloat}



### Personal box broken in LyX



For some reason LyX (at least up to 2.1.3) escapes the brackets of the

`\personal` optional argument, scattering the URL letters all around.

If this is the case if you look at the source window you should see

something like `{[}www.myweb.site{]}` instead of `[www.myweb.site]`.



To solve this problem just readd the argument as *TeX code* by

eventually using the `CTRL-l` shortcut.



### Bullet points in ``eventlist``



``Tccv`` does not support bullet points due to its ``\eventlist`` environment that overrides the default ``\item`` command. That's why code like the following would not work (see [#5](https://github.com/ntd/tccv/issues/5))



```tex

\begin{eventlist}



\item{July 2007 -- Present}

     {Furman University, Greenville, SC}

     {Software Developer}



\begin{itemize}

     \item Development and testing of automatic and semiautomatic machines

     \item  Designing of electrical schematics

\end{itemize}

```



Fixing this issue would either be an ugly hack or a breaking change to the existing APIs. Since backward-compatibility is desired, this repo won't fix this issue. However, you may view a variant of ``tccv`` that addresses bullet points (see demo here: [resume.pdf](https://costahuang.me/resume.pdf), and its corresponding repo here:  [vwxyzjn/tccv-bullet-points](https://github.com/vwxyzjn/tccv-bullet-points))
