A nice Rmarkdown template for a CV, courtesy of svmiller's template (http://svmiller.com/blog/2016/03/svm-r-markdown-cv/)

Rmarkdown to CV template

I've updated this quite a bit and removed the original option to use a markdown only file. This current method is my preferred option, and requires only a single .Rmd and a formatted .tex file. This has been kindly adapted from svmiller great blog post and source code.

How to Use

Open the Rmd, edit as required. Then knit to pdf. Simple, clean, adaptable.

To use, simply edit the Rmarkdown file using the editor of choice (RStudio is native and effective), then knit to pdf.

markdown_cv's Issues

xelatex support

I change the pdflatex engine to xelatex and it throw error when converting to pdf.

This is quite important for using Chinese fonts.

Adding citations via a .bib?

Nice repo!

I'm wondering whether it'd make sense to add articles via a .bib or DOI with https://github.com/cboettig/knitcitations instead of writing them by hand, not sure how to do this exactly but I was just thinking it might be easier to copy-paste DOI than the whole citations and to have a .bib file that could be used with different bibliography styles? Not sure how to cite citations without having the citations appear anywhere but rather only the list of references at the end.

Soon ORCID will allow to export citations to Bibtex if I understand this correctly.

How to reduce heading and list spacing?

HI Ryan,

Thanks for sharing your template. I like it a lot!

However, I'd like to reduce the spacing between heading/section/subsection to make the CV more compact. I tried to modify the .tex template file

\titlespacing\section{-5pt}{0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt}{0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt}
\titlespacing\subsection{-5pt}{0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt}{0pt plus 0pt minus 0pt}

The spacing didn't change that much

What I hope to get

Any suggestion? Thanks!
