# Markdown Resume Generator [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/there4/markdown-resume.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/there4/markdown-resume)[![nodesource/node](http://dockeri.co/image/there4/markdown-resume)](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/there4/markdown-resume/)

> Convert markdown to HTML and PDF resumes

Turn a simple Markdown document into an elegant resume with both a perfect
pdf printable format, and a responsive css3 html5 file. You can view a sample
at the [blog post for the project][blog], or look in examples/output to see sample PDFs.

## Features

* Multiple styles to choose from: `modern`, `blockish`, `unstyled`, `readable`, `swissen` _(Fork and add more!)_
* PDF generation via [wkhtmltopdf][wkhtmltopdf]
* Responsive design for multiple device viewport sizes
* Simple Markdown formatting
* Single file deployment (no external stylesheets)
* You can now version control and branch your resume.

## Installation

### Docker

Run those commands in the directory where you put your markdown resume.

#### Oneshot command

This is best suited for use in scripts or in CI environments:

`docker run -v ${PWD}:/resume there4/markdown-resume md2resume [options] command [arguments]`

#### Interactive console

This allows you to enter an interactive console where you can easily experiment and run different commands:

`docker run -it -v ${PWD}:/resume there4/markdown-resume`

### Local

1. Clone the repo `git clone [email protected]:there4/markdown-resume.git` or [Download ZIP](https://github.com/there4/markdown-resume/archive/master.zip)
2. **PHP 7** and **[composer](https://getcomposer.org/download/)** are installed and on your PATH
3. `composer install` inside of the project directory to install dependencies

4. For generating PDF files, you need to install `wkhtmltopdf`
* OSX: `brew cask install wkhtmltopdf` via [Homebrew Cask](https://caskroom.github.io/)
* Debian: `sudo apt install php7.0-mbstring wkhtmltopdf`
* Fedora `sudo dnf install php-mbstring wkhtmltopdf`

## Usage

The two most important commands are the following two. Run them
inside the cloned directory

```bash
./bin/md2resume html examples/source/sample.md examples/output/
./bin/md2resume pdf examples/source/sample.md examples/output/
```

## Help

```
Markdown Resume Generator version 2.3.0 by Craig Davis

Usage:
[options] command [arguments]

Options:
--help -h Display this help message.
--quiet -q Do not output any message.
--verbose -v|vv|vvv Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug
--version -V Display this application version.
--ansi Force ANSI output.
--no-ansi Disable ANSI output.
--no-interaction -n Do not ask any interactive question.

Available commands:
help Displays help for a command
html Generate an HTML resume from a markdown file
list Lists commands
pdf Generate a PDF from a markdown file
stats Generate a word frequency analysis of your resume
templates List available templates
version Show current version information

```

## Examples

Choose a template with the -t option.

```bash
./bin/md2resume html --template blockish examples/source/sample.md examples/output/
```

If you want to edit your markdown resume in your editor while watching it
update in your browser, run this command:

```bash
watch ./bin/md2resume html --refresh yes --template modern examples/source/sample.md examples/output/
```

This makes the build script run periodically, and html document will refresh
every two seconds via a meta tag. Open the `./examples/ouput/sample.html` file
in your browser, and then just save your markdown document when you want to see
a fresh preview.

## Authoring Your Resume

Markdown is limited to basic html markup. Follow the `examples/source/sample.md`
file as a guideline. This file includes various headers and several nested
elements. This allows us to construct a semantic HTML document for the resume,
and then use CSS rules to display a nicely formatted resume. Note that because
we have very few ways to nest or identify elements that many of the css rules
are based on descendant and adjacent selectors.

## Feature Development

In order to add new commands, you'll need to first install the dependencies via `composer install`

After that, you can run the `md2resume_dev.php` file from the command line.

## Building a Release

1. Tag the repo with the new build number.
2. Run `composer build`.
3. Push both the tag and the code.

## Acknowledgments

The initial inspiration is from the [Sample Resume Template][srt].
However, no HTML from that project has been used in this. General layout has
been reused, and media queries have been added. It's a nice template, and if you
are a more comfortable with html than markdown, you should use it.
