barrucadu / cv Goto Github PK

Pulling in dependencies verbatim was a good idea at the start, and easy to get things going when I switched from moderncv to moderncv+deedy variant, but it's resulted in a lot of stuff there and also a lot of boilerplate in the main cls.

• Specialise extra-tex-files to my actual use-case
• Inline into main / split up main into sensible chunks

Currently the header (the name) is only on the first page, whereas the footer (contact details) is on every page. Is this good? Sharing the name seems like a waste of space; is sharing the contact details also?

This is sort of inevitable, but I feel like it could be better than the current situation.

If there are multiple adjacent educated environments, the institute name in all but the first gets indented as if it were the start of a new paragraph.

A work-around is to put \noindent immediately before the two \runsubsections in this definition: https://github.com/barrucadu/cv/blob/master/barrucadu-cv.cls#L309 but I would rather know the actual cause, as that's not necessary on all the other headings, so it's somewhat surprising.

All section headings have a overline currently. This looks really bad if a section starts at the top of a page with nothing before it.

As this has been developed due to my changing needs, it's almost certainly very me-focussed and not actually that useful to people outside of CV/tech. An example is the \technology command, there's nothing for other types of keyword.

• Think of and add missing entry types.
• Add commands for more types of keyword.

Currently I'm just distributing other people's tex and fonts along with the cls. This is possibly bad.

• Look into licenses of all components.
• Reimplement as appropriate
• Include LICENSE files as appropriate

I tried to compile the cv.tex file with Texpad. I have LaTeX installed that has XeTeX bundled as well.

I get many errors trying to compile the file though as shown below:

I am not sure how to resolve them. Thank you for a lot for any help.

It takes a very long time to compile the .cv file. Approximately 7-9 seconds. I have no idea why that happens, I assume it's the issues in #10 that cause this.

My other LaTeX projects and files compile instantly.

Need an example in image form in the repo.
