Markdown Engine

The markdown engine generates a plain Markdown version of your resume. This is particularly useful when you need to copy-paste your resume content into applicant tracking systems (ATS) or other forms that don't support PDF upload.

Configuration

To use the markdown engine, specify engine: markdown in your layout configuration.

layouts:
  - engine: markdown

The markdown output will be generated alongside your PDF (if you have a LaTeX layout also configured) or as a standalone file.

Unlike the LaTeX layout, the Markdown layout is a simple layout which has no extra configurations except for the section aliases and section reorder.

content:
  # ...

locale:
  language: en

layouts:
  - engine: markdown
    sections:
      aliases:
        work: Professional Experience
        education: Academic Background
        skills: Technical Skills
      order:
        - basics
        - work
        - education
        - skills

The section aliases and order will be respected in the final markdown output.
