Rules
I have enjoyed switching mine to HTML format which I then generate a PDF from. The only downside is that different browsers can render stuff slightly different, but that's normally fixable with one line css change. And it's not like I need to update my resume constantly on different machines.
I was on Word, then LibreOffice Writer.
Now thinking of making it a markdown source, with CSS styling to get an HTML based PDF. This way, the same source can be used on a webpage with different generation code.
This seems to me, to be simpler than L^A^T~E~X, but still good enough for a resume.
There is a standard called json-resume with a lot of generators for html and pdf or react-resume which is more like a CMS (not entirely sure about spelling, to lazy to search for it now)
But I need to add that I never made it work for me because they are not really good for scientific CVs
Interesting, but not appealing to me.
I have already been enchanted by

.I like this idea. What tool do you use for converting the markdown to html?
kramdown
anddiscount
are 2 fun little tools.kramdown
is more fully featured and is a Ruby Gem.discount
is made in C and is more suitable if you are using it in an on-the-fly render process (∵ lesser CPU cycles), but it has lesser ~~functionality~~ features.
