How to use the template

The arguments

The template has the following arguments:

Argument	Description	Default
font-type	The font type. You can choose any supported font in your system.	Times New Roman
continue-header	Whether to continue the header on the follwing pages.	false
name	Your name.	""
address	Your address.	""

pagecount	Whether to show the page count.	true
date	The date of the CV.	today

Start single column version

If you want to use the single column version, you create a new .typ file and copy the following code:

#import "@preview/modernpro-cv:1.0.0": *

#show: cv-single.with(
  font-type: "PT Serif",
  continue-header: "false",
  name: "",
  address: "","
  lastupdated: "true",
  pagecount: "true",
  date: "2024-07-03",
  contacts: (
    (text: "08856", link: ""),
    (text: "example.com", link: "https://www.example.com"),
    (text: "github.com", link: "https://www.github.com"),
    (text: "[email protected]", link: "mailto:[email protected]"),
  )
)

Start double column version

The double column version is similar to the single column version. However, you need to add contents to the specific left and right sections.

#import "@preview/modernpro-cv:1.0.0": *

#show: cv-double(
  font-type: "PT Sans",
  continue-header: "true",
  name: [#lorem(2)],
  address: [#lorem(4)],
  lastupdated: "true",
  pagecount: "true",
  date: "2024-07-03",
  contacts: (
    (text: "08856", link: ""),
    (text: "example.com", link: "https://www.example.com"),
    (text: "github.com", link: "https://www.github.com"),
    (text: "[email protected]", link: "mailto:[email protected]"),
  ),
  left: [
    // contents for the left column
  ],
  right:[
    // contents for the right column
  ]
)

I preset the following functions for you to create different parts:

Legacy Version

I redesigned the template and submitted the new version to Typst Universe. However, you can find the legacy version in the legacy folder if you prefer to use the multi-font setting. You can also download the modernpro-cv-legacy.zip from the release page.

Note: The legacy version also has a cover letter template. You can use it with the CV template.
