cv.tmac

Troff/Groff macros for creating CV PDF documents.

Includes

• header
• section headings
• columned lists
• timelines/dates
• footers

Invocation

These macros cab be used with groff, simply by specifying through flag arguments, the directory they are located, with -M, and their name (without the extension) with -m, as in:

$ groff -Tpdf -M . -m cv myFile.trf > myFile.pdf

to specify the file cv.tmac, which is in the current directory and we want to use it. Or, if installed (see below), we can simply run:

$ groff -Tpdf -m cv myFile.trf > myFile.pdf

Installation

A more permanent solution is to install them to a local Troff/Groff macro directory, ~/.local/share/troff/tmac/, which involves setting the Groff environment variable GROFF_TMAC_PATH.

$ cd
$ mkdir -p .local/share/troff/tmac
$ git clone https://git.cianb.xyz/cvTrf
$ cp cvTrf/cv.tmac .local/share/troff/tmac/
$ echo export GROFF_TMAC_PATH="${HOME}/.local/share/troff/tmac/" >> .profile
$ source .profile
$ rm -rf TrfCv
