CV

My CV (in ENG and ITA) made with quarto & typstcv pckg.

What is typst?

typst is a new markup-based typesetting system that is designed to be as powerful as LaTeX while being much easier to learn and use.

It can be installed on macOS with

With the latest 1.4 release of Quarto, you can now use typst as an output format!

# shell
quarto --version # 1.4.550

How to use typst as a format?

# YAML

How to use typstcv (specifically) as a format?

typstcv provides helper functions for rendering a CV like this.

This can be installed with:

# R
install.packages("typstcv", repos = "https://kazuyanagimoto.r-universe.dev") 

Basically it is a *.qmd file that has format...

# YAML 
---
format:
  awesomecv-typst:
    font-paths: ["PATH_TO_FONT"]
---    

...and is rendered into a *.pdf file.

• it allows fontawesome icons
• it allows SVG icons
• it basically helps with a resume_entry() function that makes it easier to write a CV.
• in my case, all the CV info are *.csv files stored in a data/ folder, and then called with readr::read_csv().
• the final, rendered, cv*.pdf files are saved in the docs/ folder
• hopefully, with renv.lock in the mix, this won't break too soon 🤞🏻

Under the hood, the extension awesomecv-typst has 2 key files:

• _extensions/kazuyanagimoto/awesomecv/typst-template.typ ~ the core template file. It defines the styling of the document.
• _extensions/kazuyanagimoto/awesomecv/typst-show.typ ~ a file that calls the template. It maps Pandoc metadata to template function arguments. .
