Limecv – A LaTeX CV Document Class

Speaking as someone with a LaTeX résumé, I agree with you. I use it because it's the typesetting tool with which I am most comfortable, not because it's the best tool for the job. I would never use HTML/CSS to create a résumé, but that's because I am bad at using them.

I "ported" moderncv LaTeX style in simple XHTML/CSS a while ago here: http://www.benou.fr/~ben/cv/cv.en.ganne.html Feel free to clone it if you find it useful. I use both moderncv for PDF and this for web-based resume.

I wanted to make something like for a while. I'd use a reportlab-based generator though and Jinja2 templates. Ideally, I want something that can generate both compliant and optimized HTML and a PDF, while having easily hackable style sheets and stuff. I'd add just a little bit of Python code to make it easy to add new stuff (new skills, new experience, etc.) and generate CVs with different highlights from the same data and templates (I used to have one for my primary stuff, one concentrating on devops stuff, one for immigration purposes, and yet another one for something I don't remember — it's hard to keep them all up to date when you mostly use just one).

Would be a cool project one day, for now I'll just keep using LaTeX.

I've moved past ModernCV though. Too many people are using it nowadays :)
