## What it is
A LaTeX/Pandoc boilerplate that stores CV content in a single YAML file and compiles it into a high-quality PDF via a customizable XeTeX template. It separates content from presentation so resumes can be version-controlled and regenerated on demand.

## Use cases
- generate a pdf resume from yaml
- keep my cv under version control
- typeset a professional resume with latex
- convert resume data to html for web publishing
- maintain a single source of truth for my cv
- build a beautiful resume without word

## When to choose
- you want publication-quality resume typography
- you prefer plain-text, version-controlled documents
- you already use pandoc and latex toolchains
- you want to reuse one yaml file for pdf and html output

## When to avoid
- you need a drag-and-drop resume builder
- you cannot install latex and pandoc dependencies
- you need an ATS-parsing-friendly simple format over typesetting
- you want a web app with live preview
