# moderncv

## A modern curriculum vitae class for LaTeX

**moderncv** provides a documentclass for typesetting curricula vitae in various styles. Moderncv aims to be both straightforward to use and customizable, providing five ready-made styles (classic, casual, banking, oldstyle and fancy) and allowing one to define his own by modifying colors, fonts, icons, etc.

Most commands are defined in such a way that arguments are optional.

Until a decent manual is written, one can always look in the `template.tex` file for an example. It can be compiled to pdf via `latexmk -pdf ./template.tex`.

If using [`academicons`](https://ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/academicons) in the template, you need to use a Xe(La)TeX or Lua(La)TeX engine for them to render. Otherwise an alternative will be used automatically.

## Development

As the main goal is to keep this package alive, it is maintained in a loosely structured team. You can contact us in our matrix room [moderncv:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#moderncv:matrix.org), feel free to join if you have questions or want to contribute. Development takes places at [github.com/moderncv/moderncv](https://github.com/moderncv/moderncv).
