alt Hacker NewsI wrote two xsl stylesheets and then encoded my resume in xml.
I know what you're thinking: "Ok genxer", but hear me out. :)
The two stylesheets produce HTML and Typst code. And so I get the exact render that I want.
(It actually goes further, making a CV and a resume from the same xml source, rearranging sections and sorting appropriately.)
Xml and xsl are quite dated, but this really does seem to be a good use case for data/presentation separation.
But really my dream is for print css (or something) to finally be implemented.
I remember leveraging xml and xslt for doing the exact thing for my resume! This was quite some time ago, when xml was king. So, as a way to both unify my generation for my resume but more importantly learn more about xml, xslt, i created what sounds like a similar pipeline to yours. It felt really cool, and i learned about xslt - which to this day i'm impressed by. But, over the years as xml, xslt seem to have waned, plus i never got to use such skills at any of my jobs, and finally employers just wanted a Word doc, not a PDF...then i just stopped using my setup. Nowadays i simply keep a local copy of an .ODT file, and export to word or PDF, or whatever format an employer or recruiter asks for...and like 99.999% of the time its a Word doc. But, back then, it certainly as fun learning that stuff!
