Suspend helps you to create PDF, HTML, ODT (Libreoffice) & DOCX (Microsoft Word) versions of your resume kept in Markdown format. It is based on Phil Hollenback's resume.

A copy of this file can be found at: http://github.com/ranjhith/suspend

Note: The content of suspend.* is for demo purposes only. In case, you are interested to look at my resume, visit my website.

I made a few modifications on top of Phil's version to suit my taste. Things that I did:

• Added generation date & page number footer to the PDF output.
• Changed the fonts from Microsoft ones to Liberation family.
• Made the margins to be equal at all sides.
• Added more space between paragraphs for HTML output.
• Added spellcheck with Aspell, along with a ignore list for spell errors.
• Removed uploaders from Makefile.
• Added ODT & DOCX output generation.

• Pandoc
• Latex (texlive-full). ~500MB :(
• Aspell (aspell-en)
• Sort
• Uniq
• Liberation fonts (fonts-liberation)
• Python

Tested on Debian Sid with Bash.

Prepare the content of your resume in Markdown & keep it as suspend.md. Keep the words whose spell check has to ignored in ignore-spellcheck.txt. Tweak pdf-template.tex & html-template.css to your liking. Then just make.

If there are spell errors errors-spellcheck.txt will be generated. suspend.pdf, suspend.html, suspend.odt & suspend.docx are your output files.

If you want to redo make clean & make.

• Embed CSS within the HTML output.
• Add generation date to HTML output.
• Markdown comments dont get excluded in ODT output. Fix this.
• Find a way to add page numbers in the PDF output in (current_page of total_pages) format.

Q: Why is it called "Suspend"?
A: To prevent your employer from getting suspicious with the presence of resume.pdf on your work computer.

Q: After downloading the files, I typed suspend & the computer went to sleep. How to fix this?
A: Try typing resume & wait for a while. Btw, even though this is called suspend, you need to execute make. No more questions please.
