Markdown Resume

This repo allows you to write your resume in a Markdown file, style it with CSS, then publish it into an HTML, PDF or Word file.

The inspiration for this project came from my need to look for a job. So I opened Google Docs to update my resume and just groaned.

I've been writing Markdown for over a decade, starting with the Ulysses MacOS app, and now Obsidian. I try not to use non-markdown editors anymore if I can help it.

So I looked around and found this repo by VidLuther. Who was inspired by this project by Sonya Sawtelle.

I've added a package.json to this project, so you can easily run the scripts. I've used my name to generate the files, but feel free to configure it as you please.
