And so AltaCV was born. - -## Samples - -This is how the re-created résumé looks like ([view/open on Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/examples/recreating-business-insiders-cv-of-marissa-mayer-using-altacv/gtqfpbwncfvp)): - -Marissa Mayer's résumé, re-created with AltaCV - -Though if you're creating your own CV/résumé, you'd probably prefer using the basic template ([view/open on Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/altacv-template/trgqjpwnmtgv)): - -sample barebones AltaCV template - - -## Requirements and Compilation - -* pdflatex + biber + pdflatex -* AltaCV uses [`fontawesome`](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontawesome) and [`academicons`](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/academicons); they're included in both TeX Live 2016 and MikTeX 2.9. -* Loading `academicons` is optional: enable it by adding the `academicons` option to `\documentclass`. -* Use the `normalphoto` option to get normal (i.e. non-circular) photos. -* As of v1.2 you can add multiple photos on the left or right: `\photoL{2cm}{logo1}` and `\photoR{2.5cm}{logo2,photo}`. (`\photo` will work like `\photoR`.) Separate your image filenames with commas _without_ spaces. -* Use the `ragged2d` option to activate hyphenations while keeping text left-justified; line endings will thus be less jagged and more aesthetically pleasing. -* Can now be compiled with pdflatex, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX! -* However if you're using `academicons`, you _must_ use either XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX. If the doc then compiles but the icons don't show up in the output PDF, try compiling with LuaLaTeX instead. -* The samples here use the [Lato](http://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts/) font. Feel free to use a different typeface package instead—often a different typeface will change the entire CV's feel. - - -## Example Files - -### `sample.tex` - -(You may prefer to use `sample-alt.tex` instead; please read both sections before proceeding.) - -This is the original sample template file. The right sidebar is actually a _marginpar_, so it doesn't support footnote and cannot automatically break across pages if it's too long. You would need to split your right sidebar contents into separate files e.g. `p1sidebar.tex` and `p2sidebar.tex`, and insert them as the optional argument of the `\cvsection{...}` that you want to align them with: - -```latex -\cvsection[p1sidebar]{Experience} -... -... END OF FIRST PAGE OF YOUR CV ... -\cvsection[page2sidebar]{Publications} -... -``` - -This assumes that the next page's main column would start immediately with a `\cvsection`, so that the top of your right sidebar contents also appear at the top of the page. Now if the _next_ page doesn't start with a `\cvsection` but you'd still like to add a sidebar, then use this command on the _current_ page to add it. The optional argument lets you pull up the sidebar a bit so that it looks aligned with the top of the main column: - -```latex -\addnextpagesidebar[-1ex]{page3sidebar} -``` - -If you want to change the left and right columns' widths, you'll need to tinker with the `right` (distance from paper's right edge until the main column's right edge) and `marginparwidth` (width of the right sidebar) options in the `\geometry` line. For example, to make the right sidebar wider by 2cm, you could use - -```latex -%% original was right=9cm, marginparwidth=6.8cm -\geometry{left=1cm,right=11cm,marginparwidth=8.8cm,marginparsep=1.2cm,top=1cm,bottom=1cm} -``` -as well as doing a bit of arithmetic when you're making the header to get it full-width, i.e. reducing the sidebar by 2cm and extending the main column by 2cm. - -```latex -\begin{adjustwidth}{}{-10cm} %% original was -8cm -\makecvheader -\end{adjustwidth} -``` - -### `sample-alt.tex` [ADDED 2 FEBRUARY 2020] -Many users have overlooked the optional argument of `\cvsection` to insert the right sidebar contents, and often confused that the right sidebar doesn't automatically break across pages. This new layout uses the `paracol` package for typesetting the left and right columns that _can_ break across pages. It also makes changing the column widths easier: - -```latex -%% Set the left/right column width ratio to 6:4. -\columnratio{0.6} - -% Start a 2-column paracol. Both the left and right columns will automatically -% break across pages if things get too long. -\begin{paracol}{2} -\cvsection{Experience} -... -... END OF LEFT COLUMN CONTENTS ... - -% Now switch to the right column. -\switchcolumn -\cvsection{Education} -... -...END OF RIGHT COLUMN CONTENTS ... -\end{paracol} -``` -You can also use `\swithcolumn*` for "synchronising" the columns, as well as other commands from the `paracol` package. See the [`paracol` package documentation](http://texdoc.net/pkg/paracol) for further details.
