Formatting a CV and writing the content of a CV are two separate issues, and they should be treated separately.

Therefore, I created a Python application, RenderCV, that renders your CV solely by looking at your content in YAML format. It supports Markdown syntax and gives you complete control over the LaTeX code.

The primary motivation behind RenderCV is to provide a concrete framework that allows:

  • Version controlling a CV’s content and design separately and in an organized manner.
  • Building an automated pipeline that updates the final output (PDF, LaTeX, Markdown, HTML, and PNGs) whenever the content is modified.
  • Making the CV’s design uniform and nicely structured without room for human errors.

RenderCV offers built-in LaTeX and Markdown templates ready to produce high-quality CVs. However, the templates are entirely arbitrary and can easily be updated to leverage RenderCV’s capabilities with custom CV themes.

Each of these is an example of one of RenderCV’s four built-in themes. Click on the links below to preview PDF files.

The code is well-tested and has comprehensive documentation with a developer and user guide.
