# Markdown Resume Generator [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/there4/markdown-resume.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/there4/markdown-resume)
> Convert markdown to HTML and PDF resumes
Turn a simple Markdown document into an elegant resume with both a perfect
pdf printable format, and a responsive css3 html5 file. You can view a sample
at the [blog post for the project][blog].
## Features
* Multiple styles to choose from: `modern`, `blockish`, `unstyled`, `readable`, `swissen` _(Fork and add more!)_
* PDF generation via [wkhtmltopdf][wkhtmltopdf]
* Responsive design for multiple device viewport sizes
* Simple Markdown formatting
* Single file deployment (no external stylesheets)
* You can now version control and branch your resume.
## Install
#### OSX
1. The simplest installation of the PDF to HTML conversion tool is via [Homebrew Cask](https://caskroom.github.io/)
```bash
brew cask install wkhtmltopdf
```
2. Download as .zip (cloning has [an issue as of Dec 2017](https://github.com/there4/markdown-resume/issues/65)) and unzip.
3. [Install PHP 7](https://jason.pureconcepts.net/2016/09/upgrade-php-mac-os-x/) and be sure to update your PATH variable.
4. [Install 'composer'](https://getcomposer.org/download/), a per-project package installer to setup the rest of the requirements. You may need to run './composer.phar update' to get the correct versions of dependencies.
5. Now you should be ready to continue down in Quickstart.
#### Debian
```bash
sudo apt install php7.0-mbstring wkhtmltopdf
```
#### Fedora
```bash
sudo dnf install php-mbstring wkhtmltopdf
```
## Quickstart
```
./bin/md2resume html examples/source/sample.md examples/output/

--version -V Display this application version.

help Displays help for a command

templates List available templates
version Show current version information
```
## Examples
Choose a template with the -t option.
`./bin/md2resume html --template blockish examples/source/sample.md examples/output/`
If you want to edit your markdown resume in your editor while watching it
update in your browser, run this command:
`watch ./bin/md2resume html --refresh yes --template modern examples/source/sample.md examples/output/`
This makes the build script run periodically, and html document will refresh
every two seconds via a meta tag. Open the `./examples/ouput/sample.html` file
in your browser, and then just save your markdown document when you want to see
a fresh preview.
For information about running this inside a Docker container, please read [Issue 46](https://github.com/there4/markdown-resume/issues/46#issuecomment-126520792)
where [Sebastian Klose](https://github.com/sklose) has shared his approach.
## Authoring Your Resume
Markdown is limited to basic html markup. Follow the `examples/source/sample.md`
file as a guideline. This file includes various headers and several nested
elements. This allows us to construct a semantic HTML document for the resume,
and then use CSS rules to display a nicely formatted resume. Note that because
we have very few ways to nest or identify elements that many of the css rules
are based on descendant and adjacent selectors.
## Feature Development
In order to add new commands, you'll need to first install the dependencies:
* `composer install`
After that, you can run the `md2resume_dev.php` file from the command line.
## Building a Release
1. Tag the repo with the new build number.
2. Run `composer build`.
3. Push both the tag and the code.
## Acknowledgments
The initial inspiration is from the [Sample Resume Template][srt].
However, no HTML from that project has been used in this. General layout has
been reused, and media queries have been added. It's a nice template, and if you
are a more comfortable with html than markdown, you should use it.
