Customise data

Now you may edit each file as needed to customise your CV. The subfolders are organised as follows:

• cv_data/ contains the data files for each section of the CV.
• img/ contains any images you wish to include in the CV.
• css/ contains the CSS file for styling the CV.

Create CV

Set up template

file <- autoCV::get_template(wd = wd,
                             save_dir = tempdir(),
                             tagline = "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.",
                             extra = list("### Studio of Andrea del Verrocchio",
                                           "### Painter, Draughtsman, Engineer, Scientist",
                                           "### MD, PhD"),
                             logo = get_logo(img = system.file("img","davinci.png",
                                                               package = "autoCV"),
                                              width = "60px"),
                             force_new = TRUE
                             )

## Saving template to: /tmp/RtmpM2kZ9e/CV.Rmd

You can then inspect and make any further edits to the Rmarkdown file by opening it with in RStudio with: browseURL(file)

browseURL(file)

Render as HTML

To generate the CV, render the template file with render_cv.

file_html <- autoCV::render_cv(file = file) 

You can then open the rendered HTML file in RStudio with: browseURL(file_html)

browseURL(file_html)

Render as PDF

To render the CV as a PDF instead, simply use the as_pdf argument.

file_pdf <- autoCV::render_cv(file = file, 
                              as_pdf = TRUE)
