## Using modern-cv {#using-modern-cv}
|
|
|
|
[moderncv](https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv) is a standard \\(\LaTeX\\) package that you can find in many of your
|
|
latex distributions. I maintain a fork of it, to 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.
|
|
|
|
```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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When exporting you can call the following function to get the latex file.
|
|
|
|
```emacs-lisp
|
|
(org-export-to-file 'moderncv "moderncv.tex")
|
|
(org-latex-compile "moderncv.tex")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<object data="moderncv.org.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="500px">
|
|
<p>Alternative text - include a link <a href="moderncv.org.pdf">to the PDF!</a></p>
|
|
</object>

## Using alta-cv {#using-alta-cv}
|
|
|
|
[AltaCV](https://github.com/liantze/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 fork 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.
|
|
|
|
```org
|
|
#+LATEX_HEADER: \geometry{left=1cm,right=9cm,marginparwidth=6.8cm,marginparsep=1.2cm,top=1.25cm,bottom=1.25cm}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
```org
|
|
#+latex: \marginpar{
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```org

## Using AwesomeCV {#using-awesomecv}
|
|
|
|
[AwesomeCV](https://github.com/posquit0/Awesome-CV) is another LaTeX template for producing nice-looking
|
|
CVs and cover letters. This style also supports some additional options. For example:
|
|
|
|
```org
|
|
# CV color - options include: 'awesome-red (default), 'awesome-emerald,
|
|
# 'awesome-skyblue', 'awesome-pink', 'awesome-orange', 'awesome-nephritis',
|
|
# 'awesome-concrete' and 'awesome-darknight', plus any standard color names.
|
|
#+CVCOLOR: awesome-red
|
|
# Specify the position and style of the photo
|
|
#+PHOTOSTYLE: right,noedge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When exporting you can call the following function to get the latex file.
|
|
|
|
```emacs-lisp
|
|
(org-export-to-file 'awesomecv "awesomecv.tex")
|
|
(org-latex-compile "awesomecv.tex")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that AwesomeCV uses the `fontspec` package, so you need to set `org-latex-compiler` to `lualatex` or `xelatex` for it to work.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the regular document attributes, the following are supported:
|
|
|
|
<div class="ox-hugo-table table table-striped">
|
|
<div></div>
|
|
|
|
| Field | Description |
|
|
|------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|

|
|
| | circle/rectangle,edge/noedge,left/right. |
|

|
|
| STACKOVERFLOW | Stack overflow info, must be specified as "`ID username`" |
|
|
| FONTDIR | Directory where the fonts can be found, defaults |
|

|
|
| CVHIGHLIGHTS | Whether to colorize highlights. Defaults to true |
|
|
| QUOTE | Optional quote to include at the top of the CV |
|
|
| FIRSTNAME | First name to be shown in the CV. By default the first |
|
|
| | space-separated part of AUTHOR is used. |
|

| LASTNAME | Last name to be shown in the CV. By default the second |
|
|
| | space-separated part of AUTHOR is used. |
|
|
| CVFOOTER\_LEFT | Text to include in the left footer. None by default |
|
|
| CVFOOTER\_MIDDLE | Text to include in the middle footer. None by default. |
|
|
| CVFOOTER\_RIGHT | Text to include in the right footer. None by default. |
|
|
| LATEX\_TITLE | Text to use as the title section. \makecvheader by default. |
|

|
|

|
|
### CV environments {#cv-environments}

|
|
including `cvemployer`, `cvskills`, `cvhonors` and `cvschool` (see full list below).
|

Some of these support additional property fields:

|
|
| EMPLOYER | Employer or organization, can also be specified |

|
| LABEL | In `cvsubentry` environments, adds the given text to the left |
|
|
| | of the date range, can be used to add additional information |
|
|

|
|
| | a `cvsubentry` or `cvschool` entry. Meant to be used to show a logo. |
