asciidoctor html resume theme

This is a theme for formating a structured document such as a resume or CV (curriculum vitae). I used it to get a job and it obviously working as I still have one :).

Currently there are a few very simple color schemes available namely:

• Red

• Orange

• Green

• Purple

• Dark Purple

• Light Blue

How to write

There are two special rules for writing with this stylesheet. The first is to list personal information in a concise way the second is for the employment history.

Personal details, eduction and skills sections

A description list is used with the modified [horizontal] style to render as a table. The sytle modification is to space out the first column with a fixed width to align the output among the sections.

Sample

Asciidoctor code

== Personal Details
[horizontal]
Name:: Bilbo Baggins
Date of Birth:: December 25. 1996
Nationality:: New Zealand
Address:: Hobbit Avenue 9, Hobbiton
Email:: bilbo.baggins@middle.earth
Telephone:: +123 234 23 33
Mobile:: +123 432 32 33

Employment history section

The employment history section also uses description lists but requires role=expenrience to be defined to render correctly. An unnumbered list within the description list is rendered without bullets as the sample below shows.
