Convert markdown to HTML and PDF resumes
Turn a simple Markdown document into an elegant resume with both a perfect pdf printable format, and a responsive css3 html5 file. You can view a sample at the blog post for the project, or look in examples/output to see sample PDFs.
- Multiple styles to choose from:
modern
,blockish
,unstyled
,readable
,swissen
(Fork and add more!) - PDF generation via wkhtmltopdf
- Responsive design for multiple device viewport sizes
- Simple Markdown formatting
- Single file deployment (no external stylesheets)
- You can now version control and branch your resume.
Run those commands in the directory where you put your markdown resume.
This is best suited for use in scripts or in CI environments:
docker run -v ${PWD}:/resume there4/markdown-resume md2resume [options] command [arguments]
This allows you to enter an interactive console where you can easily experiment and run different commands:
docker run -it -v ${PWD}:/resume there4/markdown-resume
-
Clone the repo
git clone [email protected]:there4/markdown-resume.git
or Download ZIP -
PHP 7 and composer are installed and on your PATH
-
composer install
inside of the project directory to install dependencies -
For generating PDF files, you need to install
wkhtmltopdf
- OSX:
brew cask install wkhtmltopdf
via Homebrew Cask - Debian:
sudo apt install php7.0-mbstring wkhtmltopdf
- Fedora
sudo dnf install php-mbstring wkhtmltopdf
- OSX:
The two most important commands are the following two. Run them inside the cloned directory
./bin/md2resume html examples/source/sample.md examples/output/
./bin/md2resume pdf examples/source/sample.md examples/output/

Choose a template with the -t option.
./bin/md2resume html --template blockish examples/source/sample.md examples/output/
If you want to edit your markdown resume in your editor while watching it update in your browser, run this command:
watch ./bin/md2resume html --refresh yes --template modern examples/source/sample.md examples/output/
This makes the build script run periodically, and html document will refresh
every two seconds via a meta tag. Open the ./examples/ouput/sample.html
file
in your browser, and then just save your markdown document when you want to see
a fresh preview.
Markdown is limited to basic html markup. Follow the examples/source/sample.md
file as a guideline. This file includes various headers and several nested
elements. This allows us to construct a semantic HTML document for the resume,
and then use CSS rules to display a nicely formatted resume. Note that because
we have very few ways to nest or identify elements that many of the css rules
are based on descendant and adjacent selectors.
In order to add new commands, you'll need to first install the dependencies via composer install
After that, you can run the md2resume_dev.php
file from the command line.
- Tag the repo with the new build number.
- Run
composer build
. - Push both the tag and the code.
The initial inspiration is from the Sample Resume Template. However, no HTML from that project has been used in this. General layout has been reused, and media queries have been added. It's a nice template, and if you are a more comfortable with html than markdown, you should use it.
