Modest CV is a LuaLaTeX template for creating clean, simple CVs.
This template is based on the excellent McDowell CV template, with some slight modifications (listed below). This project was originally intended to simply version control my own CV (still is), but anyone can easily create their own CV by just modifying the content. Feel free to try!
Slight modifications were made to the original McDowell CV template, as listed below:
- Default paper format: A4
- Default font: EB Garamond
cvsubsection: Changed the three-column title format to two-columns, with subtitles.- Added support for hyperlinks with
hyperrefpackage.
The content of this CV might not be great (I'm still learning, ya know), so don't refer to them as a good example. Just use the template and the style!
The template can be used like any other LuaLaTeX template by editing the content as necessary and compiling with the lualatex <file-name.tex> command. For more information, refer to the mcdowell-cv repo.
A VS Code dev container configuration is included with the project. It is configured so the CV can be edited, compiled and reviewed with maximum convenience (this is how I do it!).
The configurations are as follows:
- Makes use of the LaTeX Workshop VS Code extension (automatically build and review the CV while editing).
- Includes a basic TeX Live setup with additional packages needed for the template (intended as a dependency of the above extension, but the tools can be accessed with the terminal too, if needed)
- Fonts
- When building the dev container, the fonts inside the
.devcontainer/fontsdirectory are copied in. They are used when compiling the CV. - If you want to use any custom fonts, just copy them to the
.devcontainer/fontsdirectory and rebuild the dev container. The new fonts will be available inside the container.
- When building the dev container, the fonts inside the
The Dockerfile of the image used for the dev container can be found here (See texlive-basic).
