This is the README file for CurVe, a LaTeX2e package for typesetting Curricula Vitae Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 Didier Verna * Copyright =========== This file is part of CurVe. CurVe may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.1 of this license or (at your option) any later version. The latest version of this license is in http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt and version 1.1 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX version 1999/06/01 or later. CurVe consists of the following files: - README (this file) - NEWS - curve.ins - curve.dtx - curve.el - cv.tex - rubric.tex * Description ============= CurVe is a class package that hopefully will make your life easier when you want to write your CV. It provides you with a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe will then properly format your CV for you (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV "flavors" simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. * Installation ============== To install the package, please follow these steps: - Run LaTeX on the file `curve.ins' to create the class file `curve.cls'. - Run LaTeX on the file `curve.dtx' to create the doc file `curve.dvi'. - Install these files anywhere you see fit. If you're an AUC-TeX user, you can also install the file `curve.el' in a suitable AUC-TeX style directory. Once you have installed the package, you might also want to process the example file cv.tex. This will give you an idea of what a CV looks like with CurVe by default.
