This is just a little experiment that I might implement for my own website and CV. Here's what I wanted:
- Simplification: I don't have to update both my CV and website differently.
- Printability: My website should have a printable, handout-able counterpart for personal info (CV) and other writings.
- Automatic formatting: I want to be able to change the structure, and all the formatting, the nav bar and sections, should be natural.
It's simple. There's one markdown file index.md, which has all of my personal information and details in nice litte sections and subsections.
I use a makefile to compile it into a LaTeX .pdf and an HTML file via pandoc.
For the HTML conversion I use a CSS stylesheet (style.css) which:
- Gives a custom background and div settings for the content area.
- Creates a "table of contents" from the section headings and converts that into a menu bar where the subsections drop down.
- Hides some longer content away to reappear on mouseover.
For the LaTeX/pdf conversion, I use a pandoc LaTeX template file with some custom settings as well.
These are located in the template.tex file.
Make changes to the markdown file index.md. Run make (or make compile) and it will produce a .pdf and .html.
pandoc, LaTeX, and if you want to use the makefile, make (you can copy the commands and run them manually if you want).
