Customization

You can generate the default style sheet with md_resume generate-css FILENAME. The default style is extremely generic, which is perhaps what you want in a resume, but CSS gives you a lot of flexibility. See, e.g. The Tech Resume Inside-Out for good advice about what a resume should look like (and what it should say).

Change the appearance of the PDF version (without affecting the HTML version) by adding rules under the @media print CSS selector. Change the margins and paper size of the PDF version by editing the @page CSS rule.

Note

The idea for the project is based off of https://github.com/mikepqr/resume.md. I could not get python to play nice so I rewrote it in Ruby and added features.

Development

No clue currently. I still have not written proper tests for this.
