 ** Using modern-cv
-I first started using latex modern-cv styles as the target for my CV.
-** Using alta-cv
+[[https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv][moderncv]] is a standard \(\LaTeX\) package that you can find in many of your
+latex distributions. For I maintain for personal purposes a fork of it to
+better work with my use case at https://github.com/Titan-C/moderncv.git
+Feel free to use any or even your personal fork for your desired use case.
 
+To configure the export for moderncv you need the addition options in your
+org file.
+#+BEGIN_SRC org
+# CV theme - options include: 'casual' (default), 'classic', 'oldstyle' and 'banking'
+,#+CVSTYLE: banking
+# CV color - options include: 'blue' (default), 'orange', 'green', 'red', 'purple', 'grey' and 'black'
+,#+CVCOLOR: green
+#+END_SRC
+
+When exporting you can call the following function to get the latex file.
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports none
+(org-export-to-file 'moderncv "moderncv.tex")
+#+END_SRC
+
+or you can have a hook to do the export when you save a file.
+#+BEGIN_SRC org
+# Local Variables:
+# eval: (add-hook 'after-save-hook #'org-hugo-export-wim-to-md-after-save :append :local)
+# End:
+#+END_SRC
+** Using alta-cv
+[[https://github.com/liantze/AltaCV][AltaCV]] is another project to generate a CV, you will need to install it
+yourself. I maintain a fork too at https://github.com/Titan-C/AltaCV.git
+because I need extra features and I encourage to use this for on the
+sections branch.
+
+The style of this CV is more involved and you need some configuration in
+your org file to get it to work. First define the margins, the large margin
+to the right is to allow for a second column.
+#+BEGIN_SRC text
+#+LATEX_HEADER: \geometry{left=1cm,right=9cm,marginparwidth=6.8cm,marginparsep=1.2cm,top=1.25cm,bottom=1.25cm}
+#+END_SRC
+Content on the right column has the same structure of a org file, but you
+need to enclose it in the =\marginpar{}= command as shown next.
+#+BEGIN_SRC text
+#+latex: \marginpar{
