Populate a predefined LaTeX template with contents defined in YAML to build your resume.
Project description
PyResume Builder
Do you like updating your resume? Are you satisfied with the layout and formatting? Do you ever wish you could try different styles without going through the trouble of manually reformatting each time? Well now you can!
PyResume Builder is a command line tool that populates a LaTeX template from contents defined in a YAML file. By storing the contents of your resume in a human-readable markup language and generating a LaTeX or PDF file from that you are free to try alternative templates and generate resumes in different formats without the tedium of manually reformatting.
