Usage

Command Line

To generate a CV, use the following command:

nu template.nu --input <path_to_input.yaml> --template <path_to_template.tex> --output <path_to_output.tex>

• --input: Path to the YAML file containing the CV data.
• --template: The input to the template file to use. The only template supported as of now is template.tex
• --output: Path where the generated .tex will be saved.

YAML Input File

The input YAML file should be structured as follows:

• name: The name of the individual.
• language: The language in which to generate the headers - supported languages are:
  • eng
  • es
  • fr
  • it
  • de
• img: the path to the image to insert in the CV

Limitations of the Graphics

• ResuMeow will not compile the latex into a pdf; it will only generate a valid .tex file.
• The template uses a fixed layout, which may not accommodate all content if the input data is too extensive.
  • The Competences section must fit in one page.
  • The Experiences section must fit in one page.
• The color scheme is limited to a single customizable color, which may not suit all branding needs.
• The image size and placement are fixed, which might not be ideal for all types of images.
