Added a text resume given the wide use of application tracking systems

Nice idea. But your commit will just create a resume.txt containing the latex contents?

Missed the template final in the initial commit. This default_txt.mustache should make a basic version of the text resume. Also added another latex template.

aah i thought so. I will test out your branch later some time today or tomo. Also, as the default tex is also modern_cv template can you briefly tell the difference between the two. As a new theme will be helpful only if it is too much different than a previous one.

This is what the txt template outputs for the example json

There are many things needed to be added to them.

For text:

  • latex formatting should not be done for txt as it leaves traces of \href, etc in the final resume. Formatting should be close to markdown. I guess it will be better to have another formatter_txt.rb for the txt format.
  • The institution, year and location can be clubbed to one line. Current indentation looks a bit weird.
  • Same for skills, they can be continued on the same line.
  • bin/json_resume has to edited to add 'txt' in out formats to show in help

For latex:

  • Github id is not shown even if it was present.
  • latex compilation throws error that 'see' is undefined. May be you forgot to add: \definecolor{see}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,0.5}% for web links
  • home & mobile phones are duplicate
  • Goal and Education have different indentations
  • Also the theme name 'modern_cv_alt' looks long, we can instead have the template name as 'modern'.

Created an empty formatter for txt for now. Formatted templates a bit
