cv VS faq2html

Switched from a LaTeX based CV [1] (source [2]) to a Vue based one [3] (source [4]).

My new CV is more maintainable and I can do things that aren't really straightforward with LaTeX (multi page table), but one of the issues is rendering it to PDF. So far the best solution I've found is to use Puppeteer.

In any case I think that the result is pretty cool (https://cv.denv.it), but almost no one accepts "web based CVs" (or at least, they are not that common).

Same but I switched to a web page (with Vue) instead, that can be printed as a PDF.

Definitely more manageable, especially when it comes to alignment, multi-page tables and fonts.

I too have my CV made with LaTeX and using a modified template I've found.

The interesting part is that I can version my CV (actually, this one here is already pretty old), and run a CI job to build the document (which in this case I chose to version along with the repository - I know, bad choice).

Overall it's as you say, you can just edit a line (even with your phone) and you're good to go.

While HTML and other markup languages are great, I wonder if there is a way to use a word processor while creating the document - focusing only on content (spellcheck, etc.) and not on formatting or on syntax. Then, a context specific converter (that is specific to the type of content - a resume, a newsletter, a FAQ page, etc.) takes care of adding the formatting and publishing it.

As an example, recently, I had to create a bunch of FAQ pages, and I created a tool like [1]. While Pandoc can be used, I still need to worry about (at least basic) formatting the doc while typing it out in the word processor to make it look good in the HTML output.
