About this project

Casual Markdown CV offers a straightforward way to design and manage resumes using markdown. It provides a collection of flexible templates that can be easily modified to fit any personal style, making the process of crafting a professional presentation simpler and more accessible.

casual-markdown-cv offers a streamlined solution for individuals seeking a straightforward method to create and manage a markdown resume, along with a variety of other document templates. This minimalistic approach allows for easy online access, whether hosted on GitHub Pages or other static web hosting platforms.

Updating a resume across multiple formats such as MS Word, PDF, and TXT can be tedious. With casual-markdown-cv, users can conveniently draft their resumes using the GitHub markdown editor. A sample template is available for reference: resume.md.

The project allows for seamless transformation of markdown content into an aesthetically pleasing online resume using just a few lines of code. The generated HTML can also be printed as a PDF for sharing with potential recruiters or easily accessed via URL through raw GitHub links.

Implementation

The implementation is straightforward, requiring only a simple header code snippet to convert markdown content into an HTML webpage:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Resume</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/casualwriter/casual-markdown/dist/casual-markdown.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/casualwriter/casual-markdown/dist/casual-markdown.js"></script>
<style>  
  body { line-height:1.5; margin:auto; padding:3px; max-width:1024px; display:none; FONT-FAMILY:"Segoe UI",ARIAL; }
  h1  { font-size:200%; padding:16px; border:1px solid lightgrey; BACKGROUND:#f0f0f0; }
  h2  { border-bottom:1px solid grey; padding:2px }
</style>
<body onload="document.body.innerHTML=md.html(document.body.innerHTML); document.body.style.display='block';">
<!--======= COPY ABOVE CODE AS HEADER, THEN FOLLOW WITH RESUME CONTENT IN MARKDOWN FORMAT =========-->

casual-markdown-cv is inspired by existing markdown resume templates and aims to simplify the resume creation process while providing an accessible platform for document formatting.
