This is my personal résumé edited with ReLaXed.
Master document template:
resume.pug

Stylesheet:resume.scss

While web-based resumes are increasingly popular, some employers still require a PDF document. PDF CVs can be created from Word or LaTeX templates, HTML/CSS layouts are more diverse and sometimes better looking.
In this example, we are converting this project, a clean and beautiful HTML CV designed for printing by Min-Zhong "John" Lu (@mnjul on github).
Some highlights:
- Since the resume is composed of item sections with similar structures, we define an
item
mixin, which makes the final source much less verbose. - Have a look at the SCSS file: we are stealing all the styling from the internet (Google fonts, Font-Awesome, and of course @mnjul's CSS stylesheet). We only write two lines of specific CSS to fix some glitches in Google Chrome
- It's nice that PDFs don't carry the weight of the CSS/JS libraries they use. The end result has a super-small size (30k)
