# YAMLResume: Resumes as Code in YAML YAMLResume allows people to create and version control resumes using YAML and generate pixel perfect PDFs with professional layout and typesetting in a breeze. # CLI URL: (/en/docs/cli) YAMLResume provides a CLI tool to help you manage your resume. You can follow the [installation guide](/docs/installation) to install it. Please note that we have a [docker image](/docs/installation#docker-users) for you, which has `yamlresume` CLI installed with all the necessary dependencies. For each sub-command in this guide, you can run it in docker by appending the sub-command after `yamlresume/yamlresume`. For example, to create a new resume in yamlresume CLI: ```sh yamlresume new my-resume.yml ``` You can also run it in docker by: ```sh docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/home/yamlresume yamlresume/yamlresume new my-resume.yml ``` ## Help Show CLI help and all available commands: ```console $ yamlresume help Usage: yamlresume [options] [command] YAMLResume — Resume as Code in YAML __ __ _ __ __ _ ____ \ \ / // \ | \/ | | | _ \ ___ ___ _ _ ___ ___ ___ \ V // _ \ | |\/| | | | |_) / _ \/ __| | | / _ \/ _ \ / _ \ | |/ ___ \| | | | |___| _ < __/\__ \ |_| | | | | | | __/ |_/_/ \_\_| |_|_____|_| \_\___||___/\____|_| |_| |_|\___| Options: -V, --version output the version number -v, --verbose verbose output -h, --help display help for command Commands: new [filename] create a new resume build [options] build a resume to LaTeX and PDF dev [options] build a resume on file changes (watch mode) languages i18n and l10n support templates manage resume templates validate validate a resume against the YAMLResume schema help [command] display help for command ``` Show YAMLResume CLI version: ```console $ yamlresume -V 0.5.0 ``` ## New Create a new resume. The default resume filename is `resume.yml`, but you can specify a custom filename: ```console $ yamlresume new --help Usage: yamlresume new [options] [filename] create a new resume Arguments: filename output filename (default: "resume.yml") Options: -h, --help display help for command $ yamlresume new my-resume.yml ✔ Created my-resume.yml successfully. ``` ## Build Build a resume from YAML to PDF. It will generate the latex code and PDF at the same time, with some intermediate files `.aux`, `.log` etc, if you use [XeTeX](/docs/installation#xetex) as the typesetting engine. ```console $ yamlresume build --help Usage: yamlresume build [options] build a resume to LaTeX and PDF Arguments: resume-path the resume file path Options: --no-pdf only generate TeX file without PDF --no-validate skip resume schema validation -h, --help display help for command $ yamlresume build my-resume.yml ◐ Generating resume PDF file with command: xelatex -halt-on-error my-resume.tex... ✔ Generated resume PDF file successfully. ``` ### `--no-pdf` If you only want to generate the LaTeX file without PDF, you can use `--no-pdf` option. ```console $ yamlresume build --no-pdf my-resume.yml ``` ### `--no-validate` If you want to skip the resume schema validation, you can use `--no-validate` option. ```console $ yamlresume build --no-validate my-resume.yml ``` ## Dev Build a resume from YAML to PDF on file changes. It accepts the same options as [`build`](#build) however it will automatically rebuild the resume when the YAML file is changed (aka, watch mode). This would be very convenient for you to preview your resume changes in real time. ```console $ yamlresume dev --help Usage: yamlresume dev [options] build a resume on file changes (watch mode) Arguments: resume-path the resume file path Options: --no-pdf only generate TeX file without PDF --no-validate skip resume schema validation -h, --help display help for command ``` ## Validate Validate a resume against the YAMLResume [schema](/docs/compiler/schema). ```console $ yamlresume validate --help Usage: yamlresume validate [options] validate a resume against the YAMLResume schema Arguments: resume-path the resume file path Options: -h, --help display help for command ``` For example, for the following resume: ```yml lineNumbers # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://yamlresume.dev/schema.json --- content: basics: name: Andy Dufresne headline: Headed for the Pacific phone: "(213) 555-9876" email: hi@pp url: https://ppresume.com/gallery summary: | - Computer Science major with strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software development - Pixel perfect full stack web developer, specialised in creating high-quality, visually appealing websites - Experiened in databases (SQL, NoSQL), familiar with server-side technologies (Node.js, Express, etc.) - Team player, with detail-oriented mindset and a keen eye for design and user experiences location: address: 123 Main Street region: California city: S country: United States postalCode: "95814" education: - institution: University of Southern California url: https://www.cs.usc.edu/ degree: Bachelor area: Computer Engineering and Computer Science score: "3.8" startDate: Sep 1, 2016 endDate: courses: - D - Programming Language Concepts summary: | - Developed proficiency in programming languages such as Java, C++, and Python - Gained hands-on experience in software development through various projects and assignments - Strong communication and teamwork skills acquired through group projects and presentations layouts: - engine: latex typography: fontSize: 13pt ``` `yamlresume validate` will give you a list of potential errors, with clear positional information ```console $ yamlresume validate my-resume.yml invalid-resume.yml:9:12: warning: email is invalid. email: hi@pp ^ invalid-resume.yml:19:11: warning: city should be 2 characters or more. city: S ^ invalid-resume.yml:31:11: warning: courses should be 2 characters or more. - D ^ invalid-resume.yml:41:17: warning: font size option is invalid, it must be one of the following: ["10pt", "11pt", "12pt"] fontSize: 13pt ^ ✖ Resume validation failed. ``` ## Languages List all available languages. The language code follows the spec in [ISO 639 specification](https://www.iso.org/iso-639-language-code). You can specify the language code in `locale.language` in order to change the language of your resume. Changing the language of your resume will automatically translate all fixed terms. You can check more details in our [content -> multi languages](/docs/locale) section. ```console $ yamlresume languages list | locale.language | Language Name | 1:03:48 PM | --------------- | ------------------------------- | | en | English | | zh-hans | Simplified Chinese | | zh-hant-hk | Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) | | zh-hant-tw | Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) | | es | Spanish | | fr | French | | no | Norwegian | | nl | Dutch | | ja | Japanese | | de | German | ``` ## Templates List all available templates. You can change the resume template by setting `layouts.[].template` in your YAML resume. [PPResume Templates](https://docs.ppresume.com/typesetting/templates) for more details. ```console $ yamlresume templates list | layouts.[].template | Engine | Template Name | Description | | ------------------- | ------ | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | moderncv-banking | latex | ModernCV Banking | ModernCV template with banking style | | moderncv-casual | latex | ModernCV Casual | ModernCV template with casual style | | moderncv-classic | latex | ModernCV Classic | ModernCV template with classic style | | calm | html | Calm | Clean and minimalist design suitable for all professionals. | | vscode | html | VS Code | Dark theme inspired by Visual Studio Code, tailored for developers. | ``` # Comparisons URL: (/en/docs/comparisons) ## JSON Resume [JSON Resume](https://jsonresume.org) is a pioneer in building a open standard for a structured data format for resumes. Its first [official release](https://jsonresume.org/blog/first-official-release) was in July 31, 2014, which is more than 10 years ago. From its official website: ```markdown ## Origins and Conceptualization JSON Resume was conceived as a solution to the fragmented and inconsistent landscape of resume formats. Traditional resumes, typically created in formats like Microsoft Word or PDF, often suffer from compatibility issues when parsed by different systems. Recognizing this problem, Thomas Davis and Roland Sharp initiated JSON Resume as an open-source project to create a universal, machine-readable format for resumes. ## Development Milestones The project began gaining momentum in the early 2010s, with significant milestones such as the creation of the JSON Resume schema, the development of the first CLI tools, and the establishment of the JSON Resume registry. These milestones were driven by community contributions and the growing recognition of the need for a standardized resume format in the tech industry. ``` JSON Resume did an excellent job in building a open standard for a structured data format for resumes. However, it lacks some features that YAMLResume has. YAMLResume is highly inspired by [JSON Resume](https://jsonresume.org/), and more opinionated in some aspects. For example, JSON Resumes says nothing about how to convert the machine readable data to a beautiful, human-readable resume. Here are some notable differences: | Feature | YAMLResume | JSON Resume | | ------------------ | --------------------- | ------------------- | | Data Format | YAML | JSON | | Data Structure | All top-level objects | Some nested objects | | Typesetting Engine | LaTeX | None | | Layout Spec | Built-in | Not specified | | Rich Text Support | Yes | No | We are going to offer a tool to import JSON Resume to YAMLResume in the future. # Quick Start URL: (/en/docs) import { Tab, Tabs } from "fumadocs-ui/components/tabs"; import { Step, Steps } from "fumadocs-ui/components/steps"; ## Introduction Creating a resume may not be difficult, but it is definitely a boring, lengthy and tedious process. With YAMLResume, you can create and version control your resumes with YAML and create pixel perfect PDFs with professional layout and typesetting in a breeze. YAMLResume is the core engine of [PPResume](https://ppresume.com), a LaTeX based builder. It has helped [thousands of people](https://blog.ppresume.com/posts/2024-recap) around the world create pixel perfect, professional looking resumes and land their dream jobs. Here we decided to open source the engine, in order to give people the right and freedom to say [no to vendor lock-in](https://blog.ppresume.com/posts/no-vendor-lock-in) YAMLResume New and Build Resume ## Getting Started ### Docker Users If you are a docker user, you are in luck, we have a [docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/yamlresume/yamlresume) for you, which has [yamlresume cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yamlresume) installed with all its dependencies, such as [XeTeX](https://www.tug.org/xetex/) and some [recommended fonts](/docs/installation#font). You can just create a new resume with the following command: ```sh docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/home/yamlresume yamlresume/yamlresume new my-resume.yml ``` Edit `my-resume.yml` accordingly and then build the resume from yaml to pdf: ```sh docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/home/yamlresume yamlresume/yamlresume build my-resume.yml ``` ### macOS Users Let's assume that you're using macOS with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) as the package manager. If you are not, please see the [Installation](/docs/installation) guide for detailed instructions for your operating system. #### Install Node.js You need to [install Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/all#macos) 20.x or newer. ```sh brew install node ``` #### Install Typesetting Engine YAMLResume needs a [typesetting engine](/docs/installation#typesetting-engine) to generate PDF. Currently it supports two typesetting engines: * [XeTeX](/docs/installation#xetex) * [Tectonic](/docs/installation#tectonic) <> ```sh brew install mactex ``` ```sh brew install tectonic ``` #### Install YAMLResume Installing `yamlresume` is a breeze. You can install it using your favourite Node.js package manager: <> ```sh npm install -g yamlresume ``` ```sh pnpm add -g yamlresume ``` ```sh yarn global add yamlresume ``` ```sh bun add -g yamlresume ``` You can also install [`yamlresume` via Homebrew](http://formulae.brew.sh/formula/yamlresume): ```sh brew install yamlresume ``` Verify `yamlresume` is installed successfully: ```console $ yamlresume help Usage: yamlresume [options] [command] YAMLResume — Resume as Code in YAML __ __ _ __ __ _ ____ \ \ / // \ | \/ | | | _ \ ___ ___ _ _ ___ ___ ___ \ V // _ \ | |\/| | | | |_) / _ \/ __| | | / _ \/ _ \ / _ \ | |/ ___ \| | | | |___| _ < __/\__ \ |_| | | | | | | __/ |_/_/ \_\_| |_|_____|_| \_\___||___/\____|_| |_| |_|\___| Options: -V, --version output the version number -v, --verbose verbose output -h, --help display help for command Commands: new [filename] create a new resume build [options] build a resume to LaTeX and PDF dev [options] build a resume on file changes (watch mode) languages i18n and l10n support templates manage resume templates validate validate a resume against the YAMLResume schema help [command] display help for command ``` #### \[Optional] Install Fonts ##### Linux Libertine Font We also recommend installing the [Linux Libertine font](/docs/installation#linux-libertine) for the best looking PDF output, but this is optional. ```sh brew install font-linux-libertine ``` ##### Noto Fonts If you need to create a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) resume, we recommend that you install the [Noto font](https://fonts.google.com/noto): ```sh brew install font-noto-sans-cjk font-noto-serif-cjk ``` #### Create Your First YAML Resume OK, we have everything ready, we can now create a yaml resume now with `yamlresume new`: ```console $ yamlresume new my-resume.yml ✔ Created my-resume.yml successfully. ``` Edit `resume.yml` accordingly, then you can generate a PDF with `yamlresume build`: ```console $ yamlresume build my-resume.yml ◐ Generating resume PDF file with command: xelatex -halt-on-error my-resume.tex... ✔ Generated resumep PDF file successfully. ``` You can also use `yamlresume dev` to build the resume on file changes: ```console $ yamlresume dev my-resume.yml ◐ Generating resume PDF file with command: xelatex -halt-on-error my-resume.tex... ✔ Generated resume PDF file successfully. ◐ Watching file changes: my-resume.yml... ``` ## Sample Resume Here is the complete YAML code for a two-page sample resume, tailored for a [software engineer](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/cli/resources/resume.yml): ```yml lineNumbers --- content: basics: name: Andy Dufresne headline: Headed for the Pacific phone: "(213) 555-9876" email: hi@ppresume.com url: https://ppresume.com/gallery # All summary fields supports a limited rich text capabilities in markdown # syntax: # # - bold, (e.g, `**bold**`) # - italic, (e.g, `*italic*`) # - ordered list, unordored list and nested sub list # - links (e.g. `[link](https://ppresume.com)`) summary: | - Computer Science major with strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software development - Pixel perfect full stack web developer, specialised in creating high-quality, visually appealing websites - Experiened in databases (SQL, NoSQL), familiar with server-side technologies (Node.js, Express, etc.) - Team player, with detail-oriented mindset and a keen eye for design and user experiences location: address: 123 Main Street city: Sacramento region: California country: United States postalCode: "95814" profiles: - network: Line url: https://line.com/PPResumeX username: PPResumeX - network: Twitter url: https://twitter.com/PPResumeX username: PPResumeX education: - institution: University of Southern California url: https://www.cs.usc.edu/ # Valid degree options: # # - 'Middle School' # - 'High School' # - 'Diploma' # - 'Associate' # - 'Bachelor' # - 'Master' # - 'Doctor' degree: Bachelor area: Computer Engineering and Computer Science score: "3.8" # Should be a valid date string that can be parsed by `new Date(dateStr)` # in JavaScript, eg.

Besides, to get optimal PDF output, we also suggest to install some fonts. In a nutshell, you need to install the followings to get started with YAMLResume: * Node.js * [yamlresume package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yamlresume) * a typesetting engine * \[optional] some fonts This sounds a bit complicated, but don't worry, we have your back. ## Docker Users If you are a docker user, you are in luck, we have a [docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/yamlresume/yamlresume) for you. This image has everything pre-packaged, including: * [Node.js](/docs/installation#nodejs) * [yamlresume CLI](/docs/installation#yamlresume) * [XeTeX](/docs/installation#xetex) * [some recommended fonts](/docs/installation#font) You can create a new resume instantly with the following command: ```sh docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/home/yamlresume yamlresume/yamlresume new my-resume.yml ``` This command will create a new resume called `my-resume.yml` in your current directory. Steps: 1. `docker run ... yamlresume/yamlresume` - runs a new container from the `yamlresume/yamlresume` image, if this image is not existed in your local machine, it will pull it from the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/yamlresume/yamlresume). 2. `--rm` - automatically removes the container when it exits 3. `-v $(pwd):/home/yamlresume` - mounts the current directory (`$(pwd)`) into the container at `/home/yamlresume`, allowing the container to access local files 4. `new my-resume.yml` - run yamlresume CLI [new](/docs/cli#new) sub-command to create a new resume with the filename `my-resume.yml` Edit `my-resume.yml` accordingly and then build the resume from yaml to pdf: ```sh docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/home/yamlresume yamlresume/yamlresume build my-resume.yml ``` Basically, you can call all of the `yamlresume` [CLI sub-commands](/cli) in this way—just append the sub-command after `yamlresume/yamlresume` and then follow the corresponding usage guide. The `-v` flag here is quite important here because it mounts the current directory (`$(pwd)`) into the container at `/home/yamlresume`, allowing a two way file sync between the local directory and the container. If you have trouble to pull down `yamlresume/yamlresume` image from [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/yamlresume/yamlresume), don't worry, we have a [github mirror](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/pkgs/container/yamlresume) for you. You can get the [ghcr image](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/pkgs/container/yamlresume) by: ```sh docker pull ghcr.io/yamlresume/yamlresume ``` ### Permission Issues Sometimes you may run into [permission issues](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/issues/24) when running the Docker container because the `yamlresume/yamlresume` image is built with a `USER yamlresume` instruction, which by default runs with less privilege. There are two ways to solve this issue: 1. Use your host username/group ID to run the container: ```sh docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/home/yamlresume -u $(id -u):$(id -g) yamlresume/yamlresume new my-resume.yml ``` This is the recommended way to run the container. As long as your host user has access to the current directory, you can run the container with your host username/group ID. 2. Use `-u root` to run the container with root access: ```sh docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/home/yamlresume -u root yamlresume/yamlresume new my-resume.yml ``` This is the least recommended way to run the container. It is not recommended because it may cause security issues, so you should only do this if you are sure about what you are doing. Last but not least, if you are running the `yamlresume` Docker container in GitHub Actions, then root access may be required as per [GitHub's documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/runners/github-hosted-runners#docker-container-filesystem): > Note: GitHub Actions must be run by the default Docker user (root). Ensure > your Dockerfile does not set the USER instruction, otherwise you will not be > able to access GITHUB\_WORKSPACE. Ref: [Understanding the Docker USER Instruction](https://www.docker.com/blog/understanding-the-docker-user-instruction/) ## Non-Docker Users If you are not a docker user, please follow the appropriate instructions below to install yamlresume CLI and all the necessary dependencies based on your operating system. At the time of writing, our guide covers macOS, Windows, and some Linux distros (Ubuntu and and RHEL based distros). ### Node.js Node.js 20.x or newer is required. Theoretically `yamlresume` should work with Node.js 18, however it is highly recommended to use Node.js 20 or newer because Node.js 18 LTS is scheduled to reach End-of-Life on [30 April 2025](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v18.20.8). There may be like 100+ methods to install Node.js on different OS, you can check the official [Node.js Download](https://nodejs.org/en/download) to get started. We recommend using a [package manager](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/all) to install Node.js. For [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) users: ```sh brew install node ``` For [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/) users: ```sh choco install nodejs.install ``` For Ubuntu 24.10 or newer: ```sh sudo apt install nodejs ``` For Ubuntu 24.04 or older, please take a look at [NodeSource](https://downloads.nodesource.com/#debian) to get Node.js 20 or newer. For RHEL-based linux like Fedora, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, etc.: ```sh sudo dnf install nodejs ``` ### YAMLResume CLI Installing `yamlresume` is a breeze. You can install it using your favourite Node.js package manager: <> ```console npm install -g yamlresume ``` ```console pnpm add -g yamlresume ``` ```console yarn global add yamlresume ``` ```console bun add -g yamlresume ``` If you're a macOS user and you use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/), you can also install [yamlresume via Homebrew](http://formulae.brew.sh/formula/yamlresume): ```sh brew install yamlresume ``` Verify that `yamlresume` is installed successfully: ```console $ yamlresume help Usage: yamlresume [options] [command] YAMLResume — Resume as Code in YAML __ __ _ __ __ _ ____ \ \ / // \ | \/ | | | _ \ ___ ___ _ _ ___ ___ ___ \ V // _ \ | |\/| | | | |_) / _ \/ __| | | / _ \/ _ \ / _ \ | |/ ___ \| | | | |___| _ < __/\__ \ |_| | | | | | | __/ |_/_/ \_\_| |_|_____|_| \_\___||___/\____|_| |_| |_|\___| Options: -V, --version output the version number -v, --verbose verbose output -h, --help display help for command Commands: new [filename] create a new resume build [options] build a resume to LaTeX and PDF dev [options] build a resume on file changes (watch mode) languages i18n and l10n support templates manage resume templates validate validate a resume against the YAMLResume schema help [command] display help for command ``` If you just want to give `yamlresume` a try without installing it, you can use `npx`, `pnpx` or other similar tools: <> ```console npx yamlresume help ``` ```console yarn dlx yamlresume help ``` ```console pnpx yamlresume help ``` ```console bun exec yamlresume help ``` ### Typesetting Engine Under the hood, `yamlresume` does the job of a compiler, parsing a YAML resume to an [AST](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/core/src/compiler/ast.ts) and then [transforming the AST to LaTeX code](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/core/src/compiler/codegen/latex.ts). As a mini-compiler, `yamlresume` relies on a typesetting engine to compile the generated LaTeX code to PDFs. Therefore you must first install a typesetting engine first before you can use `yamlresume` to generate resume PDFs. YAMLResume currently supports two typesetting engines: [XeTeX](#xetex) and [Tectonic](#tectonic). At the time of writing, [LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/) is still the best choice of typesetting engine for producing professional looking PDFs. [Typst](https://typst.app/) is a great alternative, but it is still in its early stage and its CJK support is not mature and production ready yet. Previously I wrote a post [On Typesetting Engines](https://blog.ppresume.com/posts/on-typesetting-engines) explaining the reasons why I chose LaTeX over other typesetting engines when I founded [PPResume](https://ppresume.com). #### XeTeX [XeTeX](https://tug.org/xetex/) is a [TeX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX) typesetting engine using [Unicode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode) and supporting modern font technologies such as [OpenType](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenType), [Graphite](https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/graphite) and [Apple Advanced Typography (AAT)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Advanced_Typography). It is a very mature, stable typesetting engine that is widely used by many academic and scientific people. The easiest way is to install the **MacTeX** distribution. It includes XeTeX along with many other TeX-related programs and packages. You can download it from the [MacTeX website](https://www.tug.org/mactex/) or install it via homebrew: ```sh # install the full mactex brew install mactex # or if you want to save some disk space brew install mactex-no-gui ``` [MiKTeX distribution](https://miktex.org) is a popular choice for Windows and includes XeTeX. You can download it from the [MiKTeX website](https://miktex.org/download). Alternatively, you can install **TeX Live** for Windows, which also includes XeTeX. Download it from the [TeX Live website](https://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html). Most Linux distributions offer TeX Live through their package managers. XeTeX is typically included in the `texlive-xetex` package or a larger `texlive-full` meta-package. For Ubuntu, if your network is good and you have around 10GB of disk spaces, you can install the full texlive distribution: ```sh sudo apt install texlive-full ``` Otherwise, you can install the minimum required packages: ```sh sudo apt install texlive-xetex texlive-fonts-extra texlive-lang-all ``` For RHEL-based linux like Fedora, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, you can install the full TeX Live distribution if you have enough disk space and good network: ```sh sudo dnf install texlive-scheme-full ``` Otherwise you can install the minimum required packages: ```sh sudo dnf install \ texlive-scheme-medium \ texlive-moderncv \ texlive-ctex \ texlive-academicons ``` Alternatively, you can always install TeX Live directly from the [TeX Live website](https://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html) using their installer, which works across different Linux distributions. Verify that XeTeX is installed successfully: ```console $ xetex -v XeTeX 3.141592653-2.6-0.999994 (TeX Live 2022) kpathsea version 6.3.4 Copyright 2022 SIL International, Jonathan Kew and Khaled Hosny.

A full TeX Live distribution typically takes up several GB of disk space, while tectonic's initial installation takes up only 10+ MB. It automatically downloads support files, so you don't have to install a complete LaTeX distribution. When you start using a new LaTeX package, Tectonic simply downloads the files it needs and continues processing. Tectonic provides an official [installation guide](https://tectonic-typesetting.github.io/en-US/install.html), but this would just put tectonic in the directory where you ran the installation command, `yamlresume` needs a global `tectonic` command in your `$PATH`, so you need to figure that out with some shell hacks on your own. If you're a macOS user, you're in luck because Homebrew provides prebuilt package: ```sh brew install tectonic ``` In to my experience, tectonic still has some minor compatibility issues with official XeTeX, so if you do not mind the long download tim eof a full TeX Live distribution, XeTeX is still the recommended choice here. ### Font #### Linux Libertine YAMLResume adopts [Linux Libertine](https://www.dafont.com/linux-libertine.font) as the default font for Latin characters. It is highly recommended to install it in order to get an optimal PDF output. For Homebrew users: ```sh brew install font-linux-libertine ``` Otherwise you can download the latest version of [Linux Libertine](https://www.dafont.com/linux-libertine.font) from the website and install the font with macOS's [Font Book](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/font-book/fntbk1000/mac). Download the latest version of [Linux Libertine](https://www.dafont.com/linux-libertine.font) from the website and extract the archive and install the font. For Ubuntu users, Linux Libertine font is already included in `texlive-fonts-extra` package, however, if you want to install it manually, you can do so by: ```sh sudo apt install fonts-linuxlibertine ``` For RHEL-based linux like Fedora, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, you can install the Linux Libertine font by: ```sh sudo dnf install linux-libertine-fonts ``` #### Google Noto If you need CJK resumes, you will also need to install [Google Noto fonts](https://fonts.google.com/noto/) for [best unicode coverage](https://github.com/ppresume/community/issues/63). For Homebrew users: ```sh brew install font-noto-sans-cjk font-noto-serif-cjk ``` Download Noto fonts and follow the [official guide](https://fonts.google.com/noto/use#use-noto-fonts) to install on Windows. For Ubuntu users: ```sh sudo apt install fonts-noto-cjk fonts-noto-cjk-extra ``` For RHEL-based linux like Fedora, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, you can install the Noto fonts by: ```sh sudo dnf install google-noto-sans-cjk-fonts google-noto-serif-cjk-fonts ``` ## Troubleshooting You can [raise an issue](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/issues/new) if you have trouble to install `yamlresume` or its dependencies. You can enable verbose logging by passing a `--verbose` flag to `yamlresume` or its subcommands. ### Getting Tired? If you are getting tired of the installation process, you can try [PPResume](https://ppresume.com), which is a hosted, commercial resume builder solution who open sourced YAMLResume. # Architecture URL: (/en/docs/compiler/architecture) Like any compiler, YAMLResume also contains a pipeline that transforms resume data from input to output with multiple phases. * **Input Phase**: accepts YAML and JSON resume files as input. * **Parsing Phase**: parses and validates the resume content and layout from the input files. * **Transformation Phase**: transforms the resume content and layout data with a pipeline. * **Codegen Phase**: renders the resume content and layout data using LaTeX templates. * **Output Phase**: generates the final PDF document. Here is a high-level architecture diagram of YAMLResume from 30000 feet: ## Data Processing Pipeline The transformation pipeline is responsible for processing raw resume data from YAML files and preparing it for LaTeX rendering. It operates in two main phases: content transformation and layout transformation: * The content transformation phase processes all textual data, applies localization rules, escapes LaTeX special characters, and computes derived values. * The layout transformation phase merges user-provided layout settings with defaults and applies locale-specific typography rules. For a long data processing pipeline like this, code speaks more than words, you can check [transform.ts](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/core/src/preprocess/transform.ts) for details if you are interested in the implementation. # Compiler URL: (/en/docs/compiler) ## Overview YAMLResume is a resume compiler that enables users to create resumes using YAML, then generate professional PDF documents with precise typography. YAMLResume adopts [Separation of Concerns](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_concerns) as the core design principles, which allows users to focus on resume content, without the worry about styling/layout too much, swap templates without changing content, and maintain consistency across different output formats. That being said, users could and should only focus on the content of the resume, and YAMLResume will take care of the rest like typesetting, layout, localization, PDF generation, etc. Key capabilities: * Defines a [standard structured YAML format](/docs/compiler/types) that covers both [content](/docs/compiler/types#resumecontent) and [layout](/docs/compiler/types#resumecontent) * Validates resume content with [zod](https://zod.dev) or [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org) * Transform resume content data with a [pipeline](/docs/compiler/architecture#data-processing-pipeline) * Render content using [LaTeX templates](/docs/layouts/latex/templates) * Generate PDFs via [XeTeX](/docs/installation#xetex) or [Tectonic](/docs/installation#tectonic) compilation engines * Support [multiple languages](/docs/locale) and localization * Provide [CLI](/docs/cli) commands for project management and build automation Check the following live demo to see why I call YAMLResume a **resume compiler**: [YAMLResume Compiler Demo](https://asciinema.org/a/728098) ## Learn More # Types URL: (/en/docs/compiler/types) This document outlines the TypeScript types that define the structure of a resume with YAMLResume. As a TypeScript project, YAMLResume employs static typing to ensure data consistency. This file provides an overview of the core data structures used to represent resume information, including personal details, education, experience, skills and more. You can check [types/index.ts](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/core/src/models/types/index.ts) for the source of truth details. Understanding these types is essential for contributors and developers who want to customize or extend YAMLResume's functionality. This document serves as a definitive reference for users seeking to create a valid YAMLResume, clarifying the distinction between optional and mandatory fields. To guarantee successful compilation within YAMLResume, a minimal resume must incorporate the following essential fields: * `content.basics.name` * `education[number].area` * `education[number].degree` * `education[number].institution` * `education[number].startDate` So theoretically a minimum viable resumes looks like the following: ```yml lineNumbers content: basics: name: Xiao Hanyu education: - area: Computer Science and Technology degree: Bachelor institution: Zhejiang University startDate: Sep, 2007 ``` ## Resume Defines the overall resume structure, including content and layout. | Prop |

Content is the core of your resume. It's what makes your resume stand out from the rest, with [layouts](/docs/layouts) and design being the icing on the cake. We'll cover two key aspects of content creation in YAMLResume: * **Rich Text**: How to use Markdown to add formatting like bold, italics, links, and lists to your descriptions. * **Multi-Language Support**: How to create resumes in different languages, taking into account linguistic and cultural nuances. Explore the guides below to master your resume's content. # Rich Text URL: (/en/docs/content/rich-text) In YAMLResume, you're not limited to plain text. The `summary` fields across different sections (like `work`, `education`, `projects`, etc.), support a limited set of [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) syntax to allow for rich text formatting. This enables you to create more expressive and readable resume content. ## Supported Syntax Here's a quick rundown of the Markdown features you can use: ### Bold and Italic You can emphasize text using bold or italic styling. * **Bold:** `**your bold text**` * **Italic:** `*your italic text*` * **Both:** `***your bold and italic text***` ### Links You can embed hyperlinks within your text. * **Syntax:** `[link text](https://example.com)` ### Lists Both ordered and unordered lists are supported, including nesting. The `|` (pipe) character in YAML is used to create a "literal block scalar," which is a way to write [multi-line strings](https://stackoverflow.com/a/21699210/2310396) while preserving newlines. This is particularly useful for fields like `summary` where you might want to include lists or paragraphs. Everything indented under the `|` will be treated as a single string, with line breaks maintained. #### Unordered Lists Use a hyphen (`-`) or an asterisk (`*`) for each list item. ```yml lineNumbers summary: | - First item - Second item - Third item ``` #### Ordered Lists Use numbers followed by a period for ordered lists. ```yml lineNumbers summary: | 1. First item 2. Second item 3. Third item ``` #### Nested Lists You can indent lists to create nested structures. ```yml lineNumbers summary: | - Team player with a detail-oriented mindset. - Experienced in databases (SQL, NoSQL). - Proficient in PostgreSQL and MongoDB. - Familiar with Redis for caching. - Strong foundation in data structures and algorithms. ``` ## A Complete Example Here is a `summary` field from a `work` entry that combines several of the supported syntax features: ```yml lineNumbers --- content: basics: # ... summary: | This is a sample YAML resume that support limited set of markdown rich text syntax (bold, italics, links, lists): - Computer Science major with **strong foundation** in data structures, *algorithms*, and software development 1. Pixel perfect full stack web developer, specialised in creating high-quality, visually appealing websites 2. Experiened in databases (SQL, NoSQL), familiar with server-side technologies ([Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en), Express, etc.) - Team player, with detail-oriented mindset and a keen eye for design and user experiences ``` Here is the generated PDF: Rich Text Support in Summary Field ## What's Not Supported? YAMLResume only supports the syntax listed above. Other common Markdown features such as headings, blockquotes, images, horizontal rules, and tables are **not supported and will be ignored during processing**. # create-yamlresume URL: (/en/docs/ecosystem/create-yamlresume) import { Tab, Tabs } from "fumadocs-ui/components/tabs"; [create-yamlresume](https://yamlresume.dev/docs/ecosystem/create-yamlresume) helps you create a new [YAMLResume](https://yamlresume.dev) project with a one-liner command. ## Usage <> ```console npx create-yamlresume my-resume # or npm init yamlresume my-resume ``` ```console pnpm create yamlresume my-resume ``` ```console yarn create yamlresume my-resume ``` ```console bun create yamlresume my-resume ``` ## What it does This tool will: 1. Create a new directory with your project name 2. Create a basic Node.js project structure with: * `package.json` with YAMLResume dependency and useful scripts * `.gitignore` file with appropriate excludes * `README.md` with basic usage instructions 3.

In principle, the typesetting of a resume should be concise and clear. As for font, first you should never use fonts that are too fancy, second the types of fonts should not be too many—best limited in three. Here we will discuss some basics of fonts and main points in typesetting. ## Font classification ### Serif vs. sans-serif In terms of serifs, fonts for Latin alphabet are divided into two families: serif and sans-serif[^1]. A serif is a tiny line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter. A font with serifs is called serif font, or serifed font. In contrast, a font without serifs is called sans-serif font, where *sans* is the French word for "without". Sans serif Serif fonts Serifs for serif fonts (red) ### Proportional vs. monospaced According to whether or not the widths of letters are the same, fonts can be divided into monospaced and proportional. As the name suggests, all letters in a monospaced font occupy the same amount of horizontal space, while in a proportional font they don't. Proportional fonts and monospaced fonts In traditional printing, proportional fonts can improve the legibility of words. Due to technical limitations, the early computers and typewriters can not adjust the widths of letters . So all characters are made into the same width, thus monospaced fonts come into being. With the improvement of computer technology, the GUI (Graphical User Interface) has become the mainstream and been developing continuously, technical limitations no longer exist, so proportional fonts have become quite popular, since they are more naturally legible for human. ### CJK Font Font styles in [CJK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_characters) is a bit complicated. Generally speaking, there're also serif and sans-serif fonts in CJK languages. #### Song **[Song](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_typefaces)**: known as 宋体/明体 in Simplified Chinese, 宋體/明體 in Traditional Chinese, みんちょうたい/明朝体 in Japanese, 명조체/明朝體 in Korean, is the serif font in CJK. Song is usually used for body text, headings and notes. When used for headings, the weight of the characters is often increased to differentiate them from the body text. Currently it is the most common used font in printing. #### Bold **[Bold](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-serif)**, known as 黑体 in Simplified Chinese, 黑體 in Traditional Chinese, is the sans-serif font in CJK. Bold is often used for headlines, introductions, logos, etc. Bold is also used in body text to emphasize specific words. Due to the large number of strokes in Chinese characters and the poor clarity of bold in small characters, traditional printing rarely uses bold as the body text; however, with the refinement of character creation technology, coupled with the development of the Internet and digital publishing, many bold fonts have been developed for body text, and a small number of books have begun to use bold as the body text font. Besides Song and Bold, *Chinese also has two additional font styles that are widely used*. #### Regular **[Regular](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_script)**: known as 楷体 in Simplified Chinese, 楷體 in Traditional Chinese, is the most common style used in modern Chinese writings. Regular are mainly used for headings, introductions, dialogues, summaries and other paragraphs that are different from the main text. However, regular are less frequently used for emphasis because of their proximity to Song. #### Fangsong **[Fangsong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fangsong)**, known as 仿宋体 in Simplified Chinese, 仿宋體 in Traditional Chinese, is a type of regular script typeface. It is mostly used in the introduction, summary and other paragraphs that are different from the main text. Meanwhile, it is also the standard font used in official documents produced by the Chinese government. ## Font design and usage Digital publishing has been developing for many years, and western lanauges has a very small character set, so there are many kinds of fonts designed by different people with various demands. For a monospaced font, the main focus is on the design of each single letter, other than that, in a proportional font, the space between letters should also be seriously considered. ### Letter composition Letters in every font have a consistent structure, font users are supposed to know these basic concepts: * baseline: the invisible line on which "H" or "n" stands * cap height: the distance from baseline to the top of a linear uppercase letter like "H" or "E" * x-height: the distance from the bottom to the top of lowercase "x" * ascender: the ascending parts of lowercase letters like "b", "d", "f", "h", "k", "l" over the top of "x" , its height is called the ascender height, the top line which ascenders align is called the ascender line * descender: the descending parts of lowercase letters like "g", "j", "p", "q", "y" below the baseline, its height is called the descender height, the bottom line which descenders align is called the descender line Typography ### Letter-spacing Letter-spacing, or tracking, refers to the space between letters. Letter-spacing adjustment is divided into font designers' side and font users' side; it affects the density in a line or block of text. For font designers, the adjustment of letter-spacing is an important procedure in designing. In a proportional font, the spacing on the left side of a single letter is not necessarily the same as on the right side. The purpose is to ensure legibility when the letter is next to whatever other letters on both sides. For font users, the adjustment of letter-spacing means manually rearranging the space between letters by software after the original typesetting, in order to obtain special alignment[^2], or a better layout effect[^3]. ### Kerning Kerning refers to the process of increasing or decreasing the space between specific letter pairs in a proportional font. These pairs of letters are called kerning pairs. Kerning is more concerned about the visual spacing rather than the actual spacing. Designers of many fonts will pay attention to kerning pairs while designing, and store kerning adjustment values in the font file. In this way, typesetting software can automatically adjust spacing for kerning pairs according to the values, thus produce a better layout effect. Every letter has a unique shape, so during the design and implementation of a font, letters in all kerning pairs must cooperate to produce the best visual effect. In fact, this is where the key procedure and difficulties lie[^4]. Kerning ### Ligature A ligature is a glyph that joins two or more letters together. Ligatures in print originate from hyphenated characters in handwriting. After the birth of movable-type printing, many ligatures were directly made into type. However, after the widespread use of sans-serif fonts in the 1950s and phototypesetting in the 1970s, the use of block letters became rare. The earliest digital typesetting software that could use ligatures for digital typesetting is TeX created by [Donald Knuth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth). This trend also affected the desktop publishing after 1985. In early times, software could not replace letters with ligatures (but TeX could), and most of the newly made fonts for computers did not include ligatures. Furthermore, in the early days of personal computers, most of the computers were in English, and there was no practical need for the use of ligature, as it was not mandatory to use it in the English language. With the development of digital typesetting technology such as [OpenType](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenType), ligatures have gradually returned to practice[^5]. In normal day-to-day business documents, the lack of ligatures is not treated as spelling error, but for professional typesetting in advertising, book publishing and other fields, ligatures are essentially required. Ligature ### Italics Italic is a font style achieved by tilting the font on top of the normal font style; it can refer to italic type or oblique type[^6]. There are two types of tilted fonts in western font: oblique type and italic type. The one that is tilted with a change in the shape of the characters is "Italic Type", while the one that simply tilts the original font to the right without a change in the shape of the characters is known as oblique type. Since oblique italics, which are simply tilted and distorted by software algorithms, have loose strokes, more and more designs have recently favored the use of newly designed, specialized italic types. Theoretically, italics include italic type and oblique type, but it should be noticed that actually not all italic type are slanted . In practice, italics are usually applied to one piece of text to emphasize or distinguish it from the main body that is in serif fonts. ### Old style numbers Old style numbers, also known as [text figures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_figures), designed with varying heights for latin script languages in a fashion that resembles a typical line of running text, hence the name. Text Figures In contrast, lining style numbers (also called lining, titling or modern figures), have the same height as upper-case characters. YAMLResume defaults to old style numbers for latin script language resumes and lining style numbers for others. > High-quality typesetting generally prefers text figures in body text: they > integrate better with lowercase letters and small capitals, unlike runs of > lining figures. Lining figures are called for in all-capitals settings (hence > the alternative name titling figures), and may work better in tables and > spreadsheets. > > — [Text figures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_figures#Design) ### Recommended Western Font There are tons of fonts out there nowadays, so recommending a universal western font scheme for your resume is not an easy task. * RECOMMEND, using serif fonts for the main body text * RECOMMEND, using sans-serif fonts for titles, but serif fonts can be used as well * RECOMMEND, using italic font style to emphasize text in main body, corresponding bold style can be used as well Here is a list of commonly used serif fonts: * [Garamond](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garamond) * [Palatino](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatino) * [Geogria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_\(typeface\)) * [Baskerville](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baskerville) * [Minion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minion_\(typeface\)) * [Hoefler Text](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoefler_Text) * [Linux Libertine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Libertine) A list of commonly used sans-serif fonts: * [Helvetica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica) * [Gill Sans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gill_Sans) * [Optima](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optima) *** [^1]: [Serif vs Sans: The Final Battle](http://designreviver.com/inspiration/serif-vs-sans-the-final-battle/) [^2]: When the width of layout is small, usually it's not suitable to use justified alignment, because applying justified alignment will force most software to adjust the letter-spacing, and often, the final layout effect will be very bad. [^3]: For example, the innovation of TeX typesetting system lies in its excellent [justification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX#Hyphenation_and_justification) algorithm, the principle of which is to adjust the letter-spacing to make the layout more [justified](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_alignment#Justified).

Basic objective information is the core of a resume: * personal information * important contact information such as telephone, e-mail must be clear * education backgrounds * if you are a fresh graduate, you can add education background of high school * professional skills * awards * work (internship) experiences Be cautious to add subjective information: * self-evaluation * personal hobbies * social activities, volunteer experiences, etc., which have no clear relations with the applied position Be cautious to add objective information that are unrelated with the applied position: * photos * birthday * home address * nationality * political identity * marital and family status Prohibited contents: * "My Resume" as the title * watermarks of logos on resume templates from different sources ## Spelling Spelling errors in a resume are a big no-no in a job search. Too many elementary spelling errors can affect an employer's first impression of an applicant. Most software have a spell checker, so use it appropriately to avoid many primary spelling errors. Of course, don't rely too much on the software's spelling check, it's better to find a trusted friend for a proof-reading. ### Proper nouns In addition to common spelling errors, there are highly frequent spelling errors in proper nouns, because they are more case sensitive. The same combination of letters with different capitalization may have completely different meanings in various fields, so job seekers must be very cautious. For example, [iOS](http://www.apple.com/ios/) with lowercase "i" represents the mobile operating system on an Apple iPhone, while [IOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_IOS) with uppercase "I" is the dedicated system on Cisco routers. Limited to our background, this guide summarizes some common spelling errors of proper nouns within the IT field. | Typos | Fix | | ------------------------------ | -------------- | | ajax | Ajax AJAX | | android | Android | | android studio | Android Studio | | APP | App | | AppStore, app store | App Store | | Css, css | CSS | | eclipse | Eclipse | | git, GIT | Git | | Html, html | HTML | | Http, http | HTTP | | json, Json | JSON | | JAVA, java | Java | | Javascript, javascript, JS, js | JavaScript | | linux, LINUX | Linux | | mysql | MySQL | | node, Node, NodeJS, nodejs | Node.js | | OC, oc, objective-c | Objective-C | | python | Python | | ruby | Ruby | | sqlite | SQLite | | xml, Xml | XML | | xcode, XCODE, XCode | Xcode | | ios, IOS | iOS | | iphone, IPHONE | iPhone | | jquery, JQuery | jQuery | ## Syntax Compared with ordinary writing, there are some special grammar requirements for resume writing. * generally use the past tense, but If you are describing the present work or education experience, use the present tense * generally begin an item with a verb in the past tense, omitting the subject * try to use simple and short sentences that are easy to understand, instead of long and complex clauses * list education backgrounds and work experiences in flashbacks, and the time format should be accurate to month * use the standard time format like "2015.05", or format that can be definitely interpreted, such as "June, 2016", instead of year abbreviations like "05/06", which can be interpreted differently in different countries Here a list of 100 commonly used words in past tense in resume writing: | | | | | | | ------------- | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ | | Accelerated | Accomplished | Accounted | Accumulated | Achieved | | Administrated | Arbitrated | Articulated | Boosted | Briefed | | Broadened | Budgeted | Campaigned | Chaired | Championed | | Clarified | Coached | Collaborated | Coordinated | Corroborated | | Cultivated | Customized | Decided | Decreased | Delegated | | Demonstrated | Designated | Developed | Devised | Diagnosed | | Documented | Doubled | Economized | Edited | Educated | | Empowered | Enabled | Encouraged | Endorsed | Enhanced | | Facilitated | Focused | Forecasted | Generated | Harmonized | | Harnessed | Identified | Illustrated | Impressed | Improved | | Increased | Justified | Launched | Led | Magnified | | Managed | Marketed | Mastered | Navigated | Negotiated | | Observed | Obtained | Organized | Orchestrated | Participated | | Pinpointed | Performed | Publicized | Published | Realigned | | Recognized | Recommended | Selected | Separated | Spearheaded | | Stimulated | Succeeded | Surpassed | Synchronized | Synergized | | Tabulated | Targeted | Tested | Traded | Translated | | Triggered | Triumphed | Troubleshot | Uncovered | Underwrote | | Unearthed | Unified | Upgraded | Urged | Utilized | | Validated | Verbalized | Verified | Vitalized | Yielded | # Guide URL: (/en/docs/guide) ## A Guide for Resume Writing and Typesetting A resume gives people a first impression of your career. On an A4 sheet paper (210 mm \* 297 mm), a resume ends the previous stage of your life and begins the next. > A nine-storey tower arises from a pile of earth. > > — [Laozi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi), Chapter 64 A pretty-print resume is based on details such as font, punctuation, layout and grammar. This guide systematically explains the essentials of resume writing and typesetting with special emphasis on typography, helping you to make a resume beautiful in form and spirit. For each topic, it first explains WHAT it is, then WHY it is so, and finally HOW to do it. The guide tries to be as concise and clear as possible, there are four priority levels for the different explanations: * **MUST**, mandatory in typesetting, serious mistake if violated * **RECOMMEND**, conform to general typesetting standards, highly recommended * **SHOULD NOT**, require advanced knowledge or features in typesetting, or diverse in different languages and cultures, or vary with regulations in companies, dangerous to use if not informed * **MUST NOT**, conflict with general typesetting standards, forbidden to apply # Publishing URL: (/en/docs/guide/publishing) ## File format Common file formats for resumes include: * PDF * Microsoft Word (doc, docx) * Plain Text * HTML Here we recommend PDF most: * PDF has excellent cross-platform output quality, ensuring nearly 100% consistent printing and display * PDF can be embedded with fonts, allowing great freedom in font selection * default PDF reader available on most platforms * Windows 8 and above have a built-in PDF reader * macOS has [Preview](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preview_\(Mac_OS\)), iOS has [iBooks](http://www.apple.com/ibooks/) * many browsers (such as Chrome) have built-in [pdf.js](http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/), which can also open PDF by default It's easier to learn MS Word, but delivering a resume with Word format has great disadvantages: * Word documents must be opened with additional office software installed * Microsoft Word, [WPS Office](https://wps.com) for Windows * [iWork](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IWork) for macOS * [WPS Office](https://wps.com), [LibreOffice](https://www.libreoffice.org/) for Linux * many online document editing systems such as [Google Docs](https://docs.google.com/) can also open and edit Word documents * Word documents may display quite differently in different software on different platforms * in reality not everyone has installed [Microsoft Word](https://products.office.com/en-us/word) on his computer * another fact is that a genuine license for Microsoft Word may cost hundreds of dollars * in order to try to ensure consistent display and output, Word documents are best used with only a few fonts that are common to the major operating systems, which results in Word documents with very little freedom in font selection. Of course, different HR managers in various companies can have different requirements and preferences. We recommend that you export the resume to PDF as an alternative if making it by Word ## Email etiquette Aside from the company's proprietary recruiting system, the primary method of submitting resumes for job applications should be email. Some basic e-mail etiquette is as follows. * set the correct email nickname, don't use informal overly fancy nicknames, it will give the employer an impression of being very unprofessional * use a uniform format in the email header, keep it clear and concise to convey the most important information * recommended format: `Apply-Company Position-Name-[University/Education]-[Work Experience]` * the body of the email should be concise, it is not recommended to write a long cover letter with a lot of personal subjective evaluation * best to add the title and a greeting at the beginning of text * contents in body * basic personal information, such as work status (in-service or not), position, education and work experiences, etc. * applying position * applying approach, whether recommended by others * add an inscriber containing name and contact information (telephone/email) * attach the resume file named with the same format of the header # Punctuations URL: (/en/docs/guide/punctuations) Punctuation is the most inconspicuous but also most error-prone part in resume writing. Whether or not you can use punctuation correctly and standardized reflects the job seeker's attitude to apply for the job. The correct and standardized use of punctuation may look easy, but it is not as simple as it seems. The main reason is that different language environments either do not have a clear specification for the use of punctuation, or have a specification but many places are not clearly defined, or there are several sets of [style guides](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Style_guide) but they are incompatible or even conflicting with each other; and secondly, the actual typesetting often encounters the situation of multi-language mixing, and then the problem will become even more complicated. This guide tries to summarize some general rules for the use of punctuation for your reference. * MUST, adding one space after commas, periods, semicolons, colons, exclamation marks and question marks * MUST, adding one space before an open bracket and after a closed bracket, same as a word, but no space after a closed bracket followed by a comma * RECOMMEND, adding one space between a number and its unit * RECOMMEND, not adding spaces around a hyphen, sometimes necessary to fine-tune the letter-spacing * RECOMMEND, not adding spaces around a slash which locates two parallel things like "A or B" * RECOMMEND, using quotation marks (`‘`、`’`、`“`、`”`), instead of [apostrophes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe) * SHOULD NOT, adding any punctuation mark at the end of items in a [Bullet list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_\(typography\)) * MUST NOT, hanging a punctuation mark at the start of a line, which can be avoided by software's automatic settings or manual adjustment ## Connective mark Hyphen (-), en-dash (–), and em-dash (—) are three punctuation marks that can be easily confused and lead to errors. The usage of them is described below. > for a hyphen, type a hyphen (-); > > for an en-dash, type two hyphens (--); > > for an em-dash, type three hyphens (---); > > for a minus sign, type a hyphen in mathematics mode ($-$). > > — Donald Knuth, [The TeXBook](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computers_and_Typesetting) ### Hyphen (-) The hyphen is used primarily for: * compound words such as "upper-case letter" * separating numbers or characters, such as telephone numbers, "1-888-777-666" * hyphenating the word at the end of a line to keep the whole layout neat There are a few rules about hyphenation at the end of a line: * try not to hyphenate the last word in more than three continuous lines * avoid dividing proper nouns, personal names, etc. * avoid cross-page hyphenation * segment words according to syllables in principle, however the position to hyphenate varies with words, so it's better to check dictionaries if necessary[^7] ### En-dash (–) The length of an en-dash equals the width of uppercase "N", and is half of the length of an em-dash. It's mainly used for: * indicating a range of numbers, date time, etc. such as dates in a year, "July–August 1968" * indicating the start and end points of the navigation path, such as "Boston–Hartford route" When using an en-dash, it is generally not necessary to add spaces around it. ### Em-dash (—) The length of an em-dash equals the width of uppercase "M", and its usage is the most flexible and complex. It is usually used for: * explaining something in details, equivalent to parentheses or colons * segmenting declarative clauses * indicating that the conversation is interrupted, in which case an ellipsis may also be used In addition, there are situations where two or three em-dashes are joined together, but I won't go into details here.[^8]. *** [^7]: Professional typesetting software generally have automatic hyphenating function, to some extents it can locate the position for hyphenation if turned on, but it's best to artificially check again. [^8]: [Wikipedia/Dash](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash) demonstrates detailed usage of this symbol and the input methods of it on different operating systems. # Typesetting URL: (/en/docs/guide/typesetting) Typesetting is "architecture in two dimensions." If text and its fonts are the materials of the building, then typesetting is the drawings of the building. Before discussing typesetting, we need to clarify some basic concepts, especially the system of dimensional units commonly used in typesetting. ## Font size Font size is the standard measurement for characters' size. The international universal unit of font size is the point. The [point](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_\(typography\)) is usually abbreviated as pt, it's the smallest unit of measure in typesetting. In fact, the size of the point has varied throughout the history of printing. Since the 18th century, the point's size has varied from 0.18 to 0.4 mm. Following the advent of [desktop publishing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_publishing) in the 1980s and 1990s, [digital printing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_printing) has largely supplanted the [letterpress printing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press) and gradually established the DTP point as the facto standard. The DTP point is defined as 1/72 of an [inch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch). Most fonts will make the best effects when set to 10-12 pt. In other words, both the strokes and structure of characters themselves and the spacing between letters will present relatively good visual effects in such size. The larger the font size, the looser the text appears, so you need to manually decrease the letter spacing; on the other hand, the smaller the font size, the more compact the text appears, so you need to manually increase the letter spacing. | pt | mm | cm | pica | inch | | -- | ------ | ------- | ---- | ---- | | 1 | 0.3528 | 0.03528 | 1/12 | 1/72 | ## Leading Leading or line-spacing refers to the distance between the baselines of two consecutive lines. Leading The ideal leading is at least 120% of the text's font size, generally 1.2-1.5 times are recommended. Different fonts have different x-height, in principle, the larger the x-height of the font applied, the larger the leading should be, conversely, the smaller the x-height, the smaller the leading. ## Page layout Layout is the outline of typesetting, it's like the head-rope of a fishing net, once the head-rope is raised up, all the meshes spread naturally. In addition to general typesetting rules for font size and leading, there are some unique requirements in resume layout design. In principle, it's best to control the resume in one page. * Making the language clear and concise * Adjusting the font size and leading within a reasonable range * Keeping page margins in 10-25 mm and making the left and right margins symmetrical * Using lists rather than parallel sentences to list information * Using flush left alignment, taking caution to use justified alignment as justified alignment may cause problems in hyphenation and letter-spacing because the lengths of words are different # CLI URL: (/en/docs/contributing/cli) YAMLResume adopts a mono-repo structure, which means all packages are contained within a single repository. Thanks to [pnpm workspace](https://pnpm.io/workspaces), this approach simplifies dependency management and versioning across packages. At the time of writing, YAMLResume repo has two packages: * [yamlresume/cli](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/tree/main/packages/cli): the CLI interface for YAMLResume. * [yamlresume/core](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/tree/main/packages/core): contains the core engine for YAMLResume. It handles parsing, validating, and rendering resumes based on the official [schema](/docs/compiler/schema). ## yamlresume/core build `yamlresume/cli` depends on `yamlresume/core` to function properly. So when you want to test `yamlresume/cli`, you need to ensure that `yamlresume/core` is also built and available. You can do this with the following commands: ```bash # build for dev purpose pnpm core build # build for production, which will minify the output and generate TypeScript # DTS files `.d.ts` pnpm core build:prod # watch for file changes and build automatically pnpm core build:watch ``` ## yamlresume/cli build Once `yamlresume/core` is built, you can run the CLI commands in two ways: 1. build `yamlresume/cli` local and run node.js with `dist/cli.js`: ```bash pnpm cli build node packages/cli/dist/cli.js [options] ``` 2. run `yamlresume/cli` directly with the help of [tsx](https://tsx.is/): ```bash pnpm cli dev [options] # this command will translate to # tsx src/cli.ts ``` ## Demo `yamlresume/core` build: ```console $ pnpm core build > @yamlresume/yamlresume@0.7.1 core /Users/hanyu/work/yamlresume/yamlresume > pnpm --filter @yamlresume/core build > @yamlresume/core@0.7.1 build /Users/hanyu/work/yamlresume/yamlresume/packages/core > tsup CLI Building entry: src/index.ts CLI Using tsconfig: tsconfig.json CLI tsup v8.4.0 CLI Using tsup config: /Users/hanyu/work/yamlresume/yamlresume/packages/core/tsup.config.ts CLI Target: esnext CLI Cleaning output folder ESM Build start ESM dist/index.js 160.91 KB ESM ⚡️ Build success in 111ms ``` `yamlresume/cli` build: ```console $ pnpm cli build > @yamlresume/yamlresume@0.7.1 cli /Users/hanyu/work/yamlresume/yamlresume > pnpm --filter yamlresume build > yamlresume@0.7.1 build /Users/hanyu/work/yamlresume/yamlresume/packages/cli > tsup CLI Building entry: src/cli.ts CLI Using tsconfig: tsconfig.json CLI tsup v8.4.0 CLI Using tsup config: /Users/hanyu/work/yamlresume/yamlresume/packages/cli/tsup.config.ts CLI Target: esnext CLI Cleaning output folder ESM Build start ESM dist/cli.js 11.36 KB ESM ⚡️ Build success in 42ms ``` Test `yamlresume/cli` with tsx by `pnpm cli dev`: ```console $ pnpm cli dev help > @yamlresume/yamlresume@0.7.1 cli /Users/hanyu/work/yamlresume/yamlresume > pnpm --filter yamlresume dev help > yamlresume@0.7.1 dev /Users/hanyu/work/yamlresume/yamlresume/packages/cli > tsx src/cli.ts help Usage: yamlresume [options] [command] YAMLResume — Resume as Code in YAML __ __ _ __ __ _ ____ \ \ / // \ | \/ | | | _ \ ___ ___ _ _ ___ ___ ___ \ V // _ \ | |\/| | | | |_) / _ \/ __| | | / _ \/ _ \ / _ \ | |/ ___ \| | | | |___| _ < __/\__ \ |_| | | | | | | __/ |_/_/ \_\_| |_|_____|_| \_\___||___/\____|_| |_| |_|\___| Options: -V, --version output the version number -v, --verbose verbose output -h, --help display help for command Commands: new [filename] create a new resume build [options] build a resume to LaTeX and PDF dev [options] build on file changes (watch mode) languages i18n and l10n support templates manage resume templates validate validate a resume against the YAMLResume schema help [command] display help for command ``` Test `yamlresume/cli` with Node.js: ```console $ node packages/cli/dist/cli.js -V 0.7.1 ``` # Docker URL: (/en/docs/contributing/docker) Besides the [CLI package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yamlresume), YAMLResume also provides a [docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/yamlresume/yamlresume) for easy onboarding. As we've [documented](/docs/installation#docker-users), you can run yamlresume docker container with the following command: ```bash docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app -w /app yamlresume/yamlresume ``` However if you are interested, you can customize the Docker image to suit your needs. ## Build Docker Image YAMLResume's Docker image is defined and generated in two phases: ### Dockerfile.base [Dockerfile.base](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/Dockerfile.base) contains the base environment for running YAMLResume, including all necessary dependencies like [XeTeX](/docs/installation#xetex) from [TeX Live](https://www.tug.org/texlive/) and [Google Noto Font](/docs/installation#google-noto). This is a base image mostly used for accelerating the build process on Github Actions—installing texlive by `apt install texlive-xetex` thing takes about [30 minutes](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/actions/runs/15438395862), which is too long to run for every docker build, so that we decided to build and [publish this base image once](https://hub.docker.com/r/yamlresume/yamlresume-base) and re-use this for every further build. Generally you don't need to build this image yourself, you can just reuse the published image on dockerhub. ### Dockerfile [Dockerfile](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/Dockerfile) defined how `yamlresume/yamlresume` image is built, it is very simple and straightforward, just installed `yamlresume` from npmjs by `npm install -g yamlresume@latest` and create necessary users and groups as per Docker's [security best practices](https://www.docker.com/blog/understanding-the-docker-user-instruction/). Building the yamlresume image locally is a trivial task. You just need to run ```bash docker build -t yamlresume/yamlresume . ``` You may need to take a look at [docker multi-platform build](https://docs.docker.com/build/building/multi-platform/) if you, for example, run into issues building docker images for different architectures. I wrote [some tips on X](https://x.com/xiaohanyu1988/status/1931178628785778722), you can take a look if you are interested. # Contributing URL: (/en/docs/contributing) First off, thank you for considering contributing to YAMLResume!

Thank you for your contribution! ## License By contributing to YAMLResume, you agree that your contributions will be licensed under its [MIT License](LICENSE). # New Language URL: (/en/docs/contributing/new-language) import { Step, Steps } from "fumadocs-ui/components/steps"; YAMLResume is designed to support [multi languages](/docs/locale) bottom up, allowing users to create resumes in their preferred language. At the time of writing, YAMLResume supports the following languages: * [English](/docs/locale/english) * [Chinese](/docs/locale/chinese) * [Norwegian](/docs/locale/norwegian) * [Spanish](/docs/locale/spanish) If your preferred language is not listed, you can contribute by following the steps below to add support for a new language. ## Register Your Language To add a new `locale.language` option to YAMLResume, first register your language in [models/resume.ts](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/core/src/models/resume.ts) by adding a new entry to `LOCALE_LANGUAGE_OPTIONS`. **Checklist:** * [ ] Add your language to `LOCALE_LANGUAGE_OPTIONS`. * [ ] Build and test the new CLI]\(/docs/contributing/cli#yamlresumecli-build) with `pnpm cli dev languages list`, making sure your language appears in the list. ## Add Translations Provide translations for all relevant [options](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/core/src/translations/options.ts), [punctuations and terms](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/core/src/translations/template.ts) used in YAMLResume. This ensures users can generate resumes in the new language with accurate labels, options, terms translations, and section names. Here is a reference [PR](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/pull/44) for adding translations for the Norwegian language. **Checklist:** * [ ] Add translations to [country names](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/core/src/models/country.ts) * [ ] Add option translations for `degrees`, `fluency`, `languages`, `sections`, and `skills` * [ ] Add punctuation translations for `comma`, `colon`, and `separator` * [ ] Add terms translations for `courses`, `keywords`, and `score` ## Update Babel Configuration YAMLResume uses LaTeX for PDF generation, and to get best typesetting results, we need to set proper [babel package configuration](https://latex3.github.io/babel/). Here is a reference [commit](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/commit/b72a4441ad2542873f449bc35a265e7208eafbe7) for norwegian language. **Checklist:** * [ ] Update `renderBabelConfig()` function in [preamble.ts](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/core/src/renderer/preamble.ts) to include the babel package for your new language. ## Test with New Language [Build](/docs/contributing/cli#yamlresumecore-build) `yamlresume/core` and `yamlresume/cli` packages, then: * [ ] Create a new resume `pnpm cli dev new my-resume.yml` * [ ] Set `locale.language` to the new language you've just added * [ ] Test your changes by generating a resume in the new language by `pnpm cli dev build my-resume.yml` * [ ] Make sure both PDF outputs work as expected. ## Submitting Your PR Once you have completed the above steps, submit your pull request with a clear description of the changes and the language you are adding. The maintainers will review your PR and may request changes or clarifications. Thank you for helping make YAMLResume accessible to more people around the world! # Test URL: (/en/docs/contributing/test) To have a smooth development experience, it is important to have a solid testing strategy in place. This includes unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to ensure that all aspects of the application are functioning as expected. ## Unit Test You can run unit tests using the following command: ```bash # run tests for yamlresume/cli package pnpm cli test # run tests for yamlresume/core package pnpm core test # run tests for all packages pnpm test ``` If you're working on a new feature, you can run tests on file changes: ```bash # watch and test for changes in yamlresume/cli package pnpm cli test:watch # watch and test for changes in yamlresume/core package pnpm core test:watch # watch and test for changes in all packages pnpm test:watch ``` Don't forget to [build](./contributing/cli#yamlresumecore-build) `yamlresume/core` package if you are working on a CLI feature that depends on `yamlresume/core` package. ## Test Coverage YAMLResume keeps a **[100% unit test coverage](https://app.codecov.io/gh/yamlresume/yamlresume)** in order to pursue high code quality and prevent regressions. You can check the test coverage report by running: ```bash # check test coverage for yamlresume/cli package pnpm cli test:cov # check test coverage for yamlresume/core package pnpm core test:cov # check test coverage for all packages pnpm test:cov ``` # Layouts URL: (/en/docs/layouts) The core of a resume is the content, but the layout is also important. Lots of JSON/YAML based resume generators only focus on the content, leaving the layout untouched, which leaves a big problem for the user. Unlike other resume generators, YAMLResume provides an opinionated layout solution out of the box , which allows users to focus on the content of the resume while generate professional looking resumes with pixel perfect layout and typesetting. Starting from v0.8.0, YAMLResume supports multiple layouts and multiple output engines (LaTeX and Markdown) via the `layouts` array. Here is an example of layout configuration in a `resume.yml` file: ```yml lineNumbers title="resume.yml" --- content: # ... locale: language: en layouts: - engine: latex template: moderncv-banking page: showPageNumbers: true margins: top: 2.5cm left: 1.5cm right: 1.5cm bottom: 2.5cm typography: fontSize: 11pt - engine: markdown - engine: html template: calm typography: fontSize: 16px ``` ## Engines YAMLResume currently supports three engines: * [HTML](./layouts/html): Generates web-native HTML resumes. * [LaTeX](./layouts/latex): Generates high-quality PDF resumes. * [Markdown](./layouts/markdown): Generates plain Markdown resumes. ## Learn More # Chinese URL: (/en/docs/locale/chinese) The [Chinese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_language) language belongs to the [Sino-Tibetan language family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Tibetan_language_family), which is very much different from the Latin script languages. About 1.4 billion people, or 17% of the world's population, speak a variety of Chinese as their first language. ## Linguistics ### Character Set The [Chinese characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_characters) and the [Latin characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Latin_character_sets_\(computing\)) represent two fundamentally different approaches to written language. The Latin characters has a limited character set, where relatively few characters are needed to represent a large vocabulary, each character represents a specific sound or [phoneme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoneme), and words are formed by combining these characters in specific sequences. Chinese, on the other hand, has tens of thousands of characters in order to express the full range of the Chinese language, each character represents a [morpheme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpheme) or word, often conveying meaning directly, and words are formed by combining individual characters, each with its own meaning and pronunciation. Chinese characters This fundamental difference in writing systems has significant implications for language learning, text processing, and cultural exchange. While the Latin characters are relatively easy to learn and use, the Chinese characters requires significant memorization and practice. ### Variants While there are many regional variations of the Chinese language, the two primary written forms are Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Here's a breakdown: **Simplified Chinese** * Primarily used in mainland China and Singapore. * Developed in the mid-20th century to increase literacy rates. * Uses [simplified characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Chinese_characters), often with fewer strokes than traditional characters. **Traditional Chinese** * Primarily used in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and many overseas Chinese communities. * The older form of written Chinese. * Uses [traditional characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_characters), with more and complex strokes. It's important to note that both Simplified and Traditional Chinese can be used to write various dialects of Chinese, such as [Mandarin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_Chinese), [Cantonese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantonese), and [Hokkien](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokkien). Meanwhile, Traditional Chinese has at least two variants, namely, the Hong Kong variant [zh-HK](https://simplelocalize.io/data/locale-code/zh-HK/) and the Taiwan variant [zh-TW](https://simplelocalize.io/data/locale-code/zh-TW/). Most of the scripts in zh-HK and zh-TW are identical, with only a few minor differences. For example, the word "software", when translated to zh-HK, it is "軟件", while in zh-TW, it is "軟體". There are about tens of words in English that are translated differently in zh-HK and zh-TW, details [here](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B9%81%E4%BD%93%E5%AD%97#%E7%94%A8%E8%AA%9E%E5%B7%AE%E7%95%B0). In general, YAMLResume can't do too much for the difference between zh-HK and zh-TW, as users have to decide which variant to use when writing resumes and make sure that the content conforms to the idioms and convensions of zh-HK or zh-TW. However, there is one thing that YAMLResume needs to handle properly for zh-HK and zh-TW, as some countries and regions have different names in zh-HK and zh-TW. [Saudi Arabia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia), for example, is translated as "沙特阿拉伯" in zh-HK and "沙烏地阿拉伯" in zh-TW. There are also a few other countries. YAMLResume takes [care](#location-countries-and-regions) of all countries and regions that has different translations in zh-HK and zh-TW. ## Idioms ### Date Dates are presented differently in English and Chinese, e.g. "Jun 2018 – Present" in English should be translated as "2018 年 6 月至今" in Chinese,the position of the year and month should be reversed, and the en-dash "–" should be replaced by "至". Meanwhile, Chinese do not use dedicated words for months, instead, it uses a combination of an Arabic number and a character "月", making it as simple as a game of counting. | English | Chinese | | --------------- | ------- | | January (Jan) | 1 月 | | February (Feb) | 2 月 | | March (Mar) | 3 月 | | April (Apr) | 4 月 | | May (May) | 5 月 | | June (Jun) | 6 月 | | July (Jul) | 7 月 | | August (Aug) | 8 月 | | September (Sep) | 9 月 | | October (Oct) | 10 月 | | November (Nov) | 11 月 | | December (Dec) | 12 月 | ### Location Address formats differ between [English](/locale/english#location) and Chinese conventions. Unlike English, when presenting a location with address, city, and country, the general part (country, state, etc.) usually comes first in Chinese, while the most specific part (town, address, etc.) comes last. ## Typesetting ### Font Just like Latin script languages, Chinese has its serif font [Song](/docs/guide/font#song) and sans-serif font [Bold](/docs/guide/font#bold). Besides, it also has two additional font styles, [Regular](/docs/guide/font#regular) and [Fangsong](/docs/guide/font#fangsong). You can check [Guide -> Font -> CJK Font](/docs/guide/font#cjk-font) for more details. YAMLResume uses Song as the main font for Chinese resumes. ### Punctuations Chinese punctuations, like the language itself, has its own unique characteristics. One important distinction to note is the difference between [half-width and full-width](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms) punctuations. The primary difference between half-width and full-width punctuations in Chinese lies in their visual width and their intended use. **Half-width punctuations** * **Narrower**: these punctuations are typically used in conjunction with Latin characters or numbers, such as in URLs, email addresses, or code snippets. * **Less common**: they are less commonly used in standard Chinese text, often used in a small portion of Latin script language phrases or paragraphs. **Full-width punctuations** * **Wider**: these punctuations are designed to match the width of Chinese characters, ensuring a visually balanced and consistent appearance in Chinese text. * **More common**: they are the standard punctuation marks used in Chinese text. Using the correct type of punctuations is crucial for proper formatting and readability in Chinese text. Mismatched punctuations can lead to visual inconsistencies and potential confusion. By understanding the difference between half-width and full-width punctuations, you can ensure that your Chinese text is correctly formatted and visually appealing. Here is a table of punctuations in both half-width and full-width forms, used in Latin script and Chinese languages respectively. | | English | Simplified Chinese | | ---------------------- | ------- | ------------------ | | Full Stop/Period (句号) | . | 。 | | Question Mark (问号) | ? | ? | | Exclamation Mark (感叹号) | ! | ! | | Comma (逗点) | , | , | | Colon (冒号) | : | : | | Semicolon (分号) | ; | ; | | Parenthesis (小括号) | () | () | | Bracket (中括号) | \[] | [] | | Brace (花括号) | \{} | {} | For resumes, it's the author's duty to use correct punctuations when composing the content, but YAMLResume can guarantee that our resume templates will always use the correct punctuations. We have two cases right now: #### Comma English uses the comma `,` as a separator to separate parts of a sentence and items in a list, while Chinese uses a Chinese comma `,` to separate sensences, and a dedicated enumeration comma ([顿号](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma#East_Asia), `、`) to separate items in a list (e.g. keyword list). #### Colon English and Chinese also have [different](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms) colons. The [English colon](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+003A) is `:`, with Unicode `U+003A`, while the [Chinese colon](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+FF1A) is `:`, with Unicode `U+FF1A`. As you can always trust, YAMLResume also takes care of this. We use correct colon for various fixed terms like "Keywords:" ("关键字:" in Simplified Chinese, "關鍵字:" in Traditional Chinese) and "Courses:" ( `课程:` in Simplified Chinese, `課程:` in Traditional Chinese) in our resume template. ### Old Style Numbers By default, **YAMLResume do not use [old style numbers](/docs/guide/font#old-style-numbers) for Chinese resumes**. Why? Because Chinese characters all have the same height and width (that is why Chinese characters are also called "方块字", which means square characters), basically all Chinese characters are titled and monospaced by nature. By adopting numbers in the lining style, the number style is adapted more closely to the Chinese characters. ### Italics By default, **YAMLResume do not use italics in Chinese resumes** because italics in Chinese is considered as a [bad practice](https://drwhispers.com/2021/11/16/italics-in-chinese/), why? In Latin script languages, italics are usually distinguished from body serifs and are used to emphasise or differentiate parts of the text, however, italicizing Chinese characters can disrupt the natural flow and readability of the text. Unlike Latin characters, Chinese characters are square characters that are not traditionally written in italics, and many Chinese fonts do not have specific italic glyphs for each character. When italicizing Chinese text, software often simply slants the characters, which can result in a visually unpleasant and unprofessional appearance. ## Translations YAMLResume adopts the following translations for various options and terms used in Chinese resumes. ### Education Degrees | English | Chinese (Simplified) | Chinese (Traditional, Hong Kong) | Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan) | |

Dutch URL: (/en/docs/locale/dutch) English and Dutch are both [Germanic languages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languages), with Dutch being part of the West Germanic branch. While both languages share some common foundations, Dutch has distinct characteristics that require specific considerations for YAMLResume. ## Linguistics ### Character Set The character sets of English and Dutch are similar—both languages primarily use the [Latin alphabet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet). However, Dutch has additional features. Here's a detailed comparison: | Feature | English Character Set | Dutch Character Set | | :--------------------- | :-------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Alphabet** | 26 letters (`a-z`) | 26 letters (`a-z`). The digraph `ij` is sometimes treated as a single letter. | | **Diacritics** | None | Uses diacritics such as the trema (`ë`, `ï`) to separate vowels (e.g., *coöperatie*) and acute accents (`é`) for emphasis. | | **Special Characters** | Limited to basic Latin characters | Includes standard characters but treats `ij` specially in capitalization (e.g., *IJsselmeer*). | The main differences between the English and Dutch writing systems: * **Digraph `ij`**: In Dutch, `ij` combined is often treated as a single letter. When capitalized at the start of a sentence or proper noun, both I and J are capitalized (e.g., *IJmuiden*). * **Diacritics**: The trema (diaeresis) is used to indicate that two vowels are pronounced separately (hiatus), rather than as a diphthong. ## Idioms ### Date Days of the week and months are not capitalized in Dutch (unlike English), unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence. For example, "Sep 2021" is translated as "sep. 2021" or "sept. 2021" in Dutch, with a lowercase month. ### Capitalization Dutch capitalization rules are generally similar to English but with exceptions: * **Days/Months**: Written in lowercase (*maandag*, *januari*). * **Languages/Nationalities**: Capitalized (*Nederlands*, *Engels*). * **Pronoun "I"**: The Dutch "ik" is written in lowercase, unless at the start of a sentence. YAMLResume internally adopts a fixed set of options and terms for all resume templates. For example, languages in YAMLResume resume templates adopt [LinkedIn's language fluency options](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/language-proficiency-linkedin-duaa-ali/): * Elementary Proficiency * Limited Working Proficiency * Minimum Professional Proficiency * Full Professional Proficiency * Native or Bilingual Proficiency These are translated to Dutch as follows: * Elementaire vaardigheid * Beperkte werkvaardigheid * Minimale professionele vaardigheid * Volledige professionele vaardigheid * Moedertaal of tweetalige vaardigheid Only the first word is capitalized, following Dutch capitalization conventions. ## Typesetting ### Punctuations Dutch has several notable differences in punctuation from English: * **Decimal separator**: Dutch uses a comma as a decimal separator (e.g., 3,14) instead of a period like in English (3.14). * **Thousand separator**: Dutch uses a period or space as a thousand separator (e.g., 1.000 or 1 000) rather than a comma. * **Quotation marks**: Dutch officially uses double quotes (often low-high `„...”` or high-high `"..."`) or single quotes (`'...'`). ## Translations YAMLResume adopts the following translations for various options and terms used in Dutch resumes. ### Education Degrees | English | Dutch | | :------------ | :--------- | | Middle School | Middelbaar | | High School | Hogeschool | | Diploma | Diploma | | Associate | Graduaat

English is widely used and spoken all over the world. Supporting English in YAMLResume is an easy job. There's very little extra setup to do in order to support English resumes with LaTeX. ## Linguistics Theoretically, English belongs to [Germanic languages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languages), which is a branch of the [Indo-European language family](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages) spoken natively by a population of about 515 million people mainly in Europe, North America, Oceania, and Southern Africa. ### Character Set Modern English is written with a Latin alphabet consisting of 26 letters, with each having both uppercase and lowercase forms. [Latin alphabet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet) is the most widely used alphabetic writing system in the world. Latin alphabet ## Idioms ### Date English has dedicated words for months, while each has a short form. YAMLResume adopts the short form for all month fields by default. | Long Form | Short Form | | --------- | ---------- | | January | Jan | | February | Feb | | March | Mar | | April | Apr | | May | May | | June | Jun | | July | Jul | | August | Aug | | September | Sep | | October | Oct | | November | Nov | | December | Dec | ### Location Different languages present locations in different format. In English, when presenting a location with address, city, and country, the general part (country, state, etc.) typically comes last, while the most specific part (town, address, etc.) comes first. In some other languages like Chinese, the order is totally reversed. Here's the typical order in English: 1. Address: This includes the street number, street name, apartment number, etc. 2. City: The name of the city or town. 3. State/Province: The state or province, if applicable. 4. Country: The name of the country. ## Typesetting Lots of typesetting theory and practice can be shared by all Latin script languages, English is no exception here.

French URL: (/en/docs/locale/french) French is a [Romance language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_languages) of the Indo-European family. While it shares the Latin alphabet with English, it has distinct characteristics in typography, punctuation, and grammar that require specific considerations for YAMLResume. ## Linguistics ### Character Set French uses the 26 letters of the basic [Latin alphabet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet), with four diacritics appearing on vowels (circumflex accent, diaeresis, grave accent, acute accent) and the cedilla appearing in "ç". There are also two ligatures, "œ" and "æ". | Feature | English Character Set | French Character Set | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Alphabet** | 26 letters (`a-z`) | 26 letters plus letters with diacritics and ligatures | | **Diacritics** | None | Acute (`é`), grave (`à`, `è`, `ù`), circumflex (`â`, `ê`, `î`, `ô`, `û`), diaeresis (`ë`, `ï`, `ü`, `ÿ`), cedilla (`ç`) | | **Special Characters** | Limited to basic Latin characters | Includes ligatures `œ` (e.g., "cœur") and `æ` (e.g., "ex æquo") | ### Idioms #### Date Days of the week and months are not capitalized in French (unlike English). For example, "Sep 2021" in English is translated as "sept. 2021" in French. YAMLResume only uses months, hence the translation table: | English | French | | --------------- | ----------------- | | January (Jan) | janvier (janv.) | | February (Feb) | février (févr.) | | March (Mar) | mars (mars) | | April (Apr) | avril (avr.) | | May (May) | mai (mai) | | June (Jun) | juin (juin) | | July (Jul) | juillet (juil.) | | August (Aug) | août (août) | | September (Sep) | septembre (sept.) | | October (Oct) | octobre (oct.) | | November (Nov) | novembre (nov.) | | December (Dec) | décembre (déc.) | #### Capitalization French generally follows sentence case for titles and headings, but YAMLResume provides capitalized terms for consistency with resume standards. One notable difference is that languages and nationalities used as adjectives are not capitalized in standard French (e.g., "je parle français"), but they are capitalized when referring to the noun (the language itself) in lists within YAMLResume for consistency. ### Typesetting #### Punctuations French has specific rules for spacing around punctuation marks: * **High punctuation**: The colon (`:`), semicolon (`;`), exclamation mark (`!`), and question mark (`?`) require a non-breaking space before them. * **Quotation marks**: French uses guillemets (`«` and `»`) with non-breaking spaces inside them (e.g., `« Bonjour »`). * **Decimal separator**: French uses a comma as a decimal separator (e.g., 3,14). * **Thousand separator**: French uses a non-breaking space as a thousand separator (e.g., 1 000). YAMLResume handles the colon spacing specifically for French layouts (e.g., ` :`). ## Translations YAMLResume adopts the following translations for various options and terms used in French resumes.

(/en/docs/locale/german) German (Deutsch) is a [West Germanic language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Germanic_languages) mainly spoken in Central Europe. It is the most widely spoken and official or co-official language in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Tyrol in Italy, the German-speaking Community of Belgium, and Liechtenstein. ## Linguistics ### Character Set German uses the Latin alphabet. In addition to the 26 standard letters, German has three vowels with Umlaut: ä, ö and ü, as well as the Eszett or "sharp S": ß. | Feature | English Character Set | German Character Set | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | **Alphabet** | 26 letters (`a-z`) | 26 letters plus letters with umlauts and Eszett | | **Diacritics** | None | Umlaut (`ä`, `ö`, `ü`) | | **Special Characters** | Limited to basic Latin characters | Includes Eszett `ß` | ### Idioms #### Date German dates are formatted with day, month, and year. Month names are capitalized. | English | German | | --------- | --------- | | January | Januar | | February | Februar | | March | März | | April | April | | May | Mai | | June | Juni | | July | Juli | | August | August | | September | September | | October | Oktober | | November | November | | December | Dezember | #### Location In German addresses, the house number typically follows the street name, and the postal code precedes the city name. Here is the typical order in German: 1. **Street and House Number**: The street name comes first, followed by the house number (e.g., "Musterstraße 123"). 2. **Postal Code and City**: The 5-digit postal code (*Postleitzahl* or PLZ) comes *before* the city name (e.g., "10115 Berlin"). 3. **State**: Unlike in some other countries, the federal state (*Bundesland*) is typically omitted in standard addresses. 4. **Country**: The country name is placed on the last line. #### Capitalization German is unique among major languages in that it capitalizes **all nouns**, regardless of whether they are proper nouns or common nouns (e.g., *Haus*, *Apfel*, *Freiheit*). Other parts of speech, such as adjectives and verbs, are generally lowercase unless they are nominalized (used as a noun) or appear at the beginning of a sentence. Additionally, the formal "you" (*Sie*) and its possessive forms (*Ihr*) are always capitalized in correspondence and formal writing. ### Typesetting #### Punctuations German punctuation rules differ significantly from English in several areas: * **Quotation Marks**: * The standard German style ("Gänsefüßchen") uses a low opening mark and a high closing mark: `„` (U+201E) and `“` (U+201C). Example: „Zitat“. * An alternative style (often in books) uses guillemets pointing **inwards**: `»` (U+00BB) and `«` (U+00AB). Example: »Zitat«. (Contrast with French `« Zitat »`). * **Apostrophe**: * It is generally **not** used for the genitive 's' (e.g., "Deutschland**s** Hauptstadt", not "Deutschland's"). * It is used to indicate omitted letters (e.g., "Wie geht’s?"). * **Comma**: * Commas are mandatory for separating dependent clauses (*Nebensätze*) from main clauses. * **Numbers**: * **Decimal separator**: German uses a comma (e.g., `12,34`). * **Thousand separator**: German uses a dot or space (e.g., `1.234` or `1 234`). ## Translations YAMLResume adopts the following translations for various options and terms used in German resumes. ### Education Degrees | English | German | | ------------- | ---------------------- | | Middle School | Mittlere Reife | | High School | Abitur | | Diploma | Diplom | | Associate |

| courses | Kurse | | keywords | Schlüsselwörter | | score | Punkte | # Locale URL: (/en/docs/locale) Each resume comes with a specific language. The good news is that YAMLResume is designed to support multiple languages out of the box. Technically, there are two categories of things to do when supporting multi languages: * **[Internationalization](https://phrase.com/blog/posts/internationalization-vs-localization/#what-is-internationalization-i18n)**: often abbreviated as "i18n" (where the number 18 represents the 18 characters between "i" and "n"), is basically a set of practices that allow a product support multi languages, i18n main consists of translating the product into mutli languages and dynamically switching the language according to the user's choice * **[Localization](https://phrase.com/blog/posts/internationalization-vs-localization/#what-is-localization-l10n)**: often abbreviated as "l10n" (the number 10 represents the characters between "l" and "n"), it goes beyond mere translation and instead adapts the product to the cultural specifics of the target language. In practice, i18n always comes first, l10n comes after. For all supported languages, we have the following concerns from a design and implementation perspective: * **[Linguistics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistics)**: the theorectical side of a language, including but not limited to the language's character set, syntax and grammar, history, etc. * **Idioms**: common conventions and idioms that are generally followed by a language. * **[Typesetting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typesetting)**: best typesetting practices often followed by a language, such as italics, text figures, font style, kerning, ligature, etc. * **Translations**: mere translations for a fixed set of terms and options used by resumes generated by YAMLResume. ## Supported Languages YAMLResume needs to be told which language the resume is written in, to do that, you need to set a top-level `locale` key in your resume: ```yml lineNumbers --- content: # ... locale: # [!code highlight] language: en # [!code highlight] layouts: - engine: markdown # ... ``` You can use `yamlresume languages list` to list all supported languages. At the time of writing, YAMLResume supports the following languages: ```console $ yamlresume languages list | locale.language | Language Name | 1:03:48 PM | --------------- | ------------------------------- | | en | English | | zh-hans | Simplified Chinese | | zh-hant-hk | Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) | | zh-hant-tw | Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) | | es | Spanish | | fr | French | | no | Norwegian | | nl | Dutch | | ja | Japanese | | de | German | ``` Check the following pages for more details about each language: ## Glossaries We have used the following glossaries throughout this section: * **Latin script languages**: languages that use [Latin script](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_script) as the [writing systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing_system). Most [germanic languages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languages), [romance languages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_languages) and many other languages like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian\_language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_language) use Latin script as the primary writing system. * **[CJK](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_characters)**: Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. * **[Character Set](https://www.creatopy.com/blog/what-is-a-character-set/)**: the complete collection of characters, symbols, glyphs, and punctuation marks available within a specific typeface or font. * **[Glyph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph)**: the specific shape, design, or representation of a character in typography. * **[Hyphenation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllabification)**, the practice of breaking words at the end of lines to improve the overall appearance and readability of text. * **[Justification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_alignment#Justified)**: the alignment of text within a block so that it is flush with both the left and right margins, generally achieved by adjusting the spacing between words and letters, creating a uniform appearance across each line of text. * **[Kerning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning)**: the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. * **[Ligature](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_\(writing\))**: a glyph that joins two or more letters together in order to enhance the visual appeal of text and get better readability. # Japanese URL: (/en/docs/locale/japanese) Japanese (日本語) is an East Asian language spoken principally in Japan. It is a member of the Japonic language family. ## Linguistics ### Character Set Japanese writing system uses a combination of three scripts: Kanji (adopted Chinese characters), Hiragana, and Katakana. Latin script (Romaji) is also used for certain purposes. ### CJK Support YAMLResume automatically detects Japanese as a CJK language and applies specific layout adjustments, such as using "Lining" style numbers instead of "OldStyle" to better match the CJK glyphs. ## Idioms ### Date Japanese dates are formatted with Year, Month, and Day order, using specific counters. | English | Japanese | | --------- | -------- | | January | 1月 | | February | 2月 | | March | 3月 | | April | 4月 | | May | 5月 | | June | 6月 | | July | 7月 | | August | 8月 | | September | 9月 | | October | 10月 | | November | 11月 | | December | 12月 | Date ranges use the full-width tilde (U+FF5E) as a separator (e.g., 2016年10月~ 2018年1月). ### Location In the generated resume, Japanese addresses generally follow the order of Country, Region (Prefecture), City, Address, and finally Postal Code. Note: While standard Japanese addresses usually start with the Postal Code (〒), YAMLResume currently appends it at the end for consistency with the generated structure variables. ## Typesetting ### Punctuations Japanese uses full-width punctuation marks. * **Comma**: `、` (Ideographic Comma, U+3001) is used instead of the Latin comma `,`. * **Colon**: `:` (Fullwidth Colon, U+FF1A) is used instead of the Latin colon `:`. * **Separator**: `、` is also used as a list separator. ## Translations YAMLResume adopts the following translations for various options and terms used in Japanese resumes. ###

(/en/docs/locale/norwegian) English and Norwegian are both [Germanic languages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_languages), with Norwegian being part of the North Germanic branch. While both languages share some common foundations, Norwegian has distinct characteristics that require specific considerations for YAMLResume. ## Linguistics ### Character Set The character sets of English and Norwegian are similar—both languages primarily use the [Latin alphabet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet), but Norwegian has additional letters. Here's a detailed comparison: | Feature | English Character Set | Norwegian Character Set | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Alphabet** | 26 letters (`a-z`) | 29 letters (`a-z` plus `æ`, `ø`, `å`) | | **Diacritics** | None | Three additional vowels (`æ`, `ø`, `å`) that are distinct letters, not diacritical marks | | **Special Characters** | Limited to basic Latin characters | Includes the three additional Norwegian vowels which are considered separate letters | The main differences between the English and Norwegian writing systems: * **Additional letters**: The Norwegian alphabet includes three extra vowels: `æ`, `ø`, and `å`, which are distinct letters with specific pronunciations. * **Letter order**: In Norwegian alphabetical order, these letters come at the end: ...x, y, z, æ, ø, å. * **Case variations**: Norwegian uses both uppercase and lowercase versions (`Æ/æ`, `Ø/ø`, `Å/å`). ## Idioms ### Date Days of the week and months are not capitalized in Norwegian (unlike English). For example, "Sep 2021" in English is translated as "sept. 2021" in Norwegian, with a lowercase month and a period after the abbreviation. YAMLResume only uses months, hence the translation table: | English | Norwegian | | --------------- | ----------------- | | January (Jan) | januar (jan.) | | February (Feb) | februar (feb.) | | March (Mar) | mars (mar.) | | April (Apr) | april (apr.) | | May (May) | mai (mai) | | June (Jun) | juni (jun.) | | July (Jul) | juli (jul.) | | August (Aug) | august (aug.) | | September (Sep) | september (sept.) | | October (Oct) | oktober (okt.) | | November (Nov) | november (nov.) | | December (Dec) | desember (des.) | ### Capitalization Norwegian has more conservative capitalization rules compared to English. Generally, only proper nouns, the first word of sentences, and the pronoun "I" ("jeg" in Norwegian) are capitalized. YAMLResume internally adopts a fixed set of options and terms for all resume templates. For example, languages in YAMLResume resume templates adopt [LinkedIn's language fluency options](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/language-proficiency-linkedin-duaa-ali/): * Elementary Proficiency * Limited Working Proficiency * Minimum Professional Proficiency * Full Professional Proficiency * Native or Bilingual Proficiency These are translated to Norwegian as follows: * Grunnleggende nivå * Begrenset arbeidskunnskap * Minimum profesjonelt nivå * Fullt profesjonelt nivå * Morsmål eller tospråklig nivå Only the first word is capitalized, following Norwegian capitalization conventions. ## Typesetting ### Punctuations Norwegian has several notable differences in punctuation from English: * **Quotation marks**: Norwegian typically uses guillemets (`«»`) or straight quotes (`""`), and punctuation is usually placed outside quotation marks. * **Decimal separator**: Norwegian uses a comma as a decimal separator (e.g., 3,14) instead of a period like in English (3.14). * **Thousand separator**: Norwegian uses a space or period as a thousand separator (e.g., 1 000 or 1.000) rather than a comma. * **Date format**: Norwegian dates follow the pattern DD.MM.YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY, unlike the American MM/DD/YYYY format. ## Translations YAMLResume adopts the following translations for various options and terms used in Norwegian resumes. ### Education Degrees | English | Norwegian | |

Score | Poeng | # Spanish URL: (/en/docs/locale/spanish) English and Spanish are both [Indo-European languages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages), it is no wonder that English and Spanish share some similarities, so most of the common foundations of YAMLResume can be reused for English and Spanish. ## Linguistics ### Character Set The character sets of English and Spanish are very similar—both languages primarily use the [Latin alphabet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet), which consists of 26 letters. However, Spanish has an additional letter, the `ñ`, which represents a unique sound. Here's a quick comparison: | Feature | English Character Set | Spanish Character Set | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Alphabet** | 26 letters (`a-z`) | 27 letters (`a-z` plus `ñ`) | | **Diacritics** | None | Includes accents (`á`, `é`, `í`, `ó`, `ú`), diaeresis (`ü`), and special punctuation (`¿`, `¡`) | | **Special Characters** | Limited to basic Latin characters | Includes additional characters like `ñ` and accented vowels | The main differences between the English and Spanish's writing systems: * **Additional letter**: the Spanish alphabet includes the letter `ñ`, which does not exist in the English alphabet. * **[Diacritics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic)**: Spanish uses several diacritics that change he pronunciation of vowels. For example, accents indicate stress and pronunciation changes (e.g., `é` vs. `e`). * **Punctuation marks**: Spanish uses inverted punctuation marks (`¿` for questions and `¡` for exclamations) that are absent in English. ## Idioms ### Date Days of the week and months are capitalised in English, but not in Spanish. For example, "Sep 2021" in English is translated as "sept 2021" in Spanish. YAMLResume only uses months, hence the translation table: | English | Spanish | | --------------- | ----------------- | | January (Jan) | enero (ene) | | February (Feb) | febrero (feb) | | March (Mar) | marzo (mar) | | April (Apr) | abril (abr) | | May (May) | mayo (may) | | June (Jun) | junio (jun) | | July (Jul) | julio (jul) | | August (Aug) | agosto (ago) | | September (Sep) | septiembre (sept) | | October (Oct) | octubre (oct) | | November (Nov) | noviembre (nov) | | December (Dec) | diciembre (dic) | ### Capitalization English tends to capitalize many words, while Spanish is more conservative and follows a much [tigher set of rules](https://baselang.com/blog/basic-grammar/capitalization-in-spanish/). YAMLResume internally adopts a fixed set of options and terms for all resume templates. For example, languages in YAMLResume resume templates adopt [Linkedin's language fluency options](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/language-proficiency-linkedin-duaa-ali/): * Elementary Proficiency * Limited Working Proficiency * Minimum Professional Proficiency * Full Professional Proficiency * Native or Bilingual Proficiency These are translated to Spanish as follows: * Competencia elemental * Competencia limitada de trabajo * Competencia profesional de trabajo * Competencia profesional plena * Competencia nativa o bilingüe Only the first word is capitalized. ## Typesetting ### Punctuations Spanish has several notable differences in punctuations from English: * **Quotation marks**: In English, periods and commas are placed inside quotation marks, whereas in Spanish, they are usually placed outside. * **Inverted marks**: Spanish uses inverted question marks `¿` and exclamation marks `¡` at both the beginning and the end of interrogative and exclamatory sentences, whereas English does not. * **Serial comma**: English often uses a serial comma before "and" in lists (e.g., "apples, oranges, and bananas"), whereas Spanish does not use a comma before "y" (e.g., "manzanas, naranjas y plátanos") * **Numerical formats**: English uses a period is used as a decimal separator (e.g., 3.14), whereas Spanish uses a comma is used (e.g., 3,14). ## Translations YAMLResume adopts the

People often need to spend hours nitpicking details, but errors still occur. For example, there may be a typo in education degrees, an email format may be wrong, a course name may be too short, etc. Along with the [static types definitions](/docs/compiler/types), YAMLResume provides a built-in schema which can be used for runtime validations. This is the core that makes YAMLResume a **resume compiler**—YAMLResume provides **clang-style warning/error messages** that help catch potential errors at the early stage of resume drafting. For example, for the following resume: ```yml lineNumbers title="invalid-resume.yml" # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://yamlresume.dev/schema.json --- content: basics: name: Andy Dufresne headline: Headed for the Pacific phone: "(213) 555-9876" email: hi@pp # [!code highlight] url: https//ppresume.com/gallery # [!code highlight] summary: | - Computer Science major with strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software development - Pixel perfect full stack web developer, specialised in creating high-quality, visually appealing websites - Experiened in databases (SQL, NoSQL), familiar with server-side technologies (Node.js, Express, etc.) - Team player, with detail-oriented mindset and a keen eye for design and user experiences location: address: 123 Main Street region: California city: S # [!code highlight] country: United States postalCode: "95814" education: - institution: University of Southern California url: https://www.cs.usc.edu/ degree: Bachelor area: Computer Engineering and Computer Science score: "3.8" startDate: Sep 1, 2016 endDate: courses: - D # [!code highlight] - Programming Language Concepts summary: | - Developed proficiency in programming languages such as Java, C++, and Python - Gained hands-on experience in software development through various projects and assignments - Strong communication and teamwork skills acquired through group projects and presentations layouts: - engine: latex typography: fontSize: 13pt # [!code highlight] ``` `yamlresume validate` will give you a list of potential errors, with clear positional information that helps pinpoint the exact location of the error, meanwhile, with the help of [yaml-language-server](https://github.com/redhat-developer/yaml-language-server), you can get a better editing experience with [auto-completion](/docs/compiler/schema/json#auto-completion), [on-hover property docs](/docs/compiler/schema/json#property-docs), [format validation](/docs/compiler/schema/json#format-validation), and more. YAMLResume validate Under the hood, YAMLResume adopts [Zod](https://zod.dev) to validate resume data in runtime. Zod is a TypeScript-first schema validation library that allows you to define schemas for your resume data, which acts as a robust safety net, ensuring that the resume data is reliable, consistent, and ready to be rendered into a professional PDF. Schema validation is a very powerful tool to ensure the correctness of resume data. It can catch errors throughout the entire life cycle of resume drafting, which is very helpful to avoid low-level mistakes from the start. ## Learn More # JSON Schema URL: (/en/docs/compiler/schema/json) ## Overview YAMLResume provides an official [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org) for validating resume data. The latest official JSON Schema is hosted at: [https://yamlresume.com/schema.json](https://yamlresume.com/schema.json). However, if you want a cut-down version for your IDE/editor, you can also use the canary version [schema.json](https://github.com/yamlresume/yamlresume/blob/main/packages/core/src/schema/schema.json) from our GitHub repo. Meanwhile, as YAMLResume evolves, the official JSON Schema will be updated constantly, hence we also provide all archived version of the JSON Schema at: `https://yamlresume.com/schemas//schema.json`. For now we have archived versions for: * [v0.11.0](/schemas/v0.11.0/schema.json) * [v0.10.1](/schemas/v0.10.1/schema.json) * [v0.10.0](/schemas/v0.10.0/schema.json) * [v0.9.1](/schemas/v0.9.1/schema.json) * [v0.8.0](/schemas/v0.8.0/schema.json) * [v0.7.5](/schemas/v0.7.5/schema.json) * [v0.7.0](/schemas/v0.7.0/schema.json) * [v0.6.0](/schemas/v0.6.0/schema.json) * [v0.5.1](/schemas/v0.5.1/schema.json) ## What is JSON Schema? [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org) is a JSON-based format for defining the structure of JSON data. It is a powerful tool for validating and documenting JSON data. JSON Schema allows you to specify the expected structure, types, and constraints of your JSON data. With JSON Schema, you can define which properties are required, what types of values are allowed (such as strings, numbers, arrays, or objects), and even set rules for value formats (like email addresses or URLs). By using JSON Schema, developers and tools can automatically validate JSON data to ensure it matches the expected format before processing. This helps catch errors early, improves data quality, and enables features like auto-completion and inline documentation in modern code editors. JSON Schema is widely supported and can be used for configuration files, API payloads, and, in the case of YAMLResume, for validating resume data to ensure consistency and correctness. ## Benefits Integrating YAMLResume's JSON Schema into your IDE/editor when crafting resumes brings several benefits: * **Auto Completion:** When you start typing, your IDE/editor will suggest properties and their expected types, helping you draft your resume faster and with fewer errors. * **Format Validation:** Your IDE/editor will highlight any formatting errors (like invalid dates or URLs) as you type, preventing you from submitting incorrect information. * **Property Docs:** Get inline documentation for each property, explaining its purpose, allowed values, and any special formatting requirements. ### Auto Completion All [enum types](/docs/compiler/types#enum-types) will be auto completed when typing. You can just type the first few letters of the option and the IDE/editor will suggest a list of valid options, then you can just use up/down arrow keys to select the correct one.
