Markdown Syntax

Standard Markdown + inline columns, bracketed spans, fenced divs.

Structure: # Name → email | github | linkedin (contact) → ## Section → ### Title || Date → _Subtitle_ || Location → - Bullets → definition lists for skills (Term + : values).

Inline columns: || splits into left/right columns. ### Google || Jan 2020 - Present, _Senior SWE_ || San Francisco, CA. 3+ columns: A || B || C. Escape: \||.

Formatting: **Bold**, _Italic_, H~2~O (sub), E = mc^2^ (super), --/--- (en/em-dash).

Tables: Standard markdown tables.

Classes, IDs & Fenced Divs

Bracketed spans: [text]{.class} → <span>. Example: ### Google [2022 - Present]{.right}.

Element attributes: {...} at end of block applies to whole element: - Built dashboards {.@frontend}.

Fenced divs: ::: wraps block content. Single child = no wrapper div; multiple = auto <div>. Prefix tag name: ::: footer {.text-center}.

::: {.grid .grid-cols-3}

Frontmatter

YAML (---) or TOML (+++). CLI flags always override.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`css`	`string \| string[]`	None	CSS path(s) or inline (`.css` suffix = file, else inline)
`output`	`string`	Input stem	Output path/template (`{view}`, `{lang}`, `{format}`)
`pages`	`positive integer`	No clamping	Target page count
`sections`	`{ hide?: string[], pin?: string[] }`	Source order	Section visibility/ordering
`bullet-order`	`none \| tag`	`none`	Bullet ordering strategy
`style`	`Record<string, string>`	—	Style option overrides
`tags`	`Record<string, string[] \| TagConfig>`	—	Tag composition / tag view config
`vars`	`Record<string, string>`	—	Template variables for `{{ }}`
`icons`	`Record<string, string>`	—	Custom icons (SVG, URL, base64)
`extra`	`Record<string, unknown>`	—	Arbitrary user data (unknown keys error otherwise)

Validation (validate key): extends (default recommended; presets: recommended, minimal, strict, none). Rules: missing-name, missing-contact, no-sections, no-entries, empty-bullet, long-bullet, single-bullet-section, unknown-fenced-div-tag, non-pt-font-size.

CLI

resumx <file>           # Render (defaults to resume.md, PDF)
resumx init [filename]   # Create template

⚠ Always run with required_permissions: ["all"]. Playwright/Chromium needs syscalls blocked by Cursor's sandbox. Without this, rendering fails with "Chromium not found".

Flags: --css <path> (repeatable, comma-sep), -o/--output <value>, -f/--format <pdf|html|docx|png> (repeatable, comma-sep), -s/--style <k=v> (repeatable), --for <name-or-glob> (tag/custom view name, glob, or default), -v/--var <k=v> (repeatable), --hide <list>, --pin <list>, --bullet-order <none|tag>, -l/--lang <bcp47> (repeatable, comma-sep), -p/--pages <n>, -w/--watch, --check (validate only), --no-check, --strict, --min-severity <level>.

Stdin: cat resume.md | resumx or git show HEAD~3:resume.md | resumx -o old.

Output naming: no view/langs → resume.pdf; with view → resume-frontend.pdf; with lang → resume-en.pdf; both → frontend/resume-en.pdf. Template vars: {view}, {lang}, {format}.

Style Options

Override via style: or --style.

Typography: font-family, title-font-family, content-font-family, font-size (11pt), line-height (1.4)
Colors: text-color, link-color, background-color
Headings: name-size, name-caps (small-caps/all-small-caps/petite-caps/unicase/normal), name-weight, name-italic, name-color, section-title-size, section-title-caps, section-title-weight, section-title-italic, section-title-color, section-title-border, header-align, section-title-align, entry-title-size, entry-title-weight, entry-title-italic
Links: link-underline (underline/none)
Spacing: gap (unitless scale), page-margin-x, page-margin-y, section-gap, entry-gap, row-gap, col-gap, list-indent
Lists: bullet-style (disc/circle/square/none)
Features: auto-icons (inline/none)

Custom CSS

Cascades on top of defaults. Reference: css: my-styles.css or --css. Inline: css: | h2 { letter-spacing: 0.05em; }. Mix in array:

css:
  - base.css
  - |
    h2::after { content: ''; flex: 1; border-bottom: var(--section-title-border); }

Bundled @import modules: common/base.css (reset, typography, layout), common/icons.css, common/utilities.css (.small-caps, .sr-only, .max-N).

Fit to Page

pages: N auto-fits. Shrink order (least visible first): 1) Gaps 2) Line height 3) Font size 4) Margins (last resort). For pages: 1, gaps also expand to fill.

Minimums: font-size 9pt, line-height 1.15, section-gap 4px, entry-gap 1px, page-margin-y 0.3in, page-margin-x 0.35in. With pages: set, style: values are starting points that may shrink. Without pages:, applied as-is.

Icons

:icon-name: (built-in), :set/name: (Iconify, 200k+), emoji shortcodes as fallback. Resolver: Frontmatter > Built-in > Iconify > Emoji.

Auto-icons on links: mailto:, tel:, linkedin.com, github.com, gitlab.com, bitbucket.org, stackoverflow.com, x.com/twitter.com, youtube.com/youtu.be, dribbble.com, behance.net, medium.com, dev.to, codepen.io, marketplace.visualstudio.com. Disable: style: { auto-icons: none }.

Custom icons: icons: { mycompany: '<svg>...</svg>', partner: 'https://example.com/logo.svg' }.

Tailwind CSS

Tailwind v4 compiled on-the-fly. Apply via {.class}: [React]{.bg-blue-100 .text-blue-800 .px-2 .rounded}. Works on spans, element attrs, fenced divs. Arbitrary values: .text-[#ff6600]. Built-in: .small-caps, .sr-only, .max-1–.max-16.

Views

Tags = what to show. Views = how to show it. Every render uses a view.

Kind	Where	Nature
Default	Frontmatter render fields	Base config
Tag view	`tags:` expanded form	Per-tag overrides, implicit
Custom	`.view.yaml` files	Per-application
Ephemeral	CLI flags	One-off

Tag views: Every tag auto-generates a view. Expanded form adds render overrides. Shorthand fullstack: [frontend, backend] = fullstack: { extends: [frontend, backend] }.

tags:
  frontend:
    sections: { hide: [publications], pin: [skills, projects] }
    pages: 1
  fullstack:
    extends: [frontend, backend]
    sections: { pin: [work, skills] }
    pages: 2

Custom views: .view.yaml files, auto-discovered recursively. Fields: selects (tags to include), sections, pages, bullet-order, vars, style, css, format, output. No selects = all content; selects: [] = untagged only. Render: --for stripe-swe. Batch: --for '*'/--for 'stripe-*'. --for default = default view (no filtering); combine: --for default,frontend. Don't name a view default.

# stripe.view.yaml
stripe-swe:
  selects: [backend, distributed-systems, leadership]
  sections: { hide: [publications], pin: [skills, work] }
  vars:
    tagline: 'Stream Processing, Event-Driven Architecture, Go, Kafka'

Ephemeral: CLI flags inline: resumx resume.md --for backend -v tagline="Stream Processing, Go" --pin skills,work -o stripe.pdf.

Cascade: Built-in defaults → Default view → Tag/Custom view → Ephemeral (CLI).

Template Variables

{{ name }} placeholders. Define in vars:, custom view, or -v. Undefined/empty → line removed. Values can contain markdown. Variable with no matching placeholder → error.

# Jane Doe

jane@example.com | github.com/jane
{{ tagline }}

Sections

sections: { hide: [publications, volunteer], pin: [skills, work] }. hide removes, pin moves to top in order, rest follow source order. Values: work, education, skills, projects, awards, certificates, publications, volunteer, languages, interests, references, basics. CLI: --hide publications --pin skills,work.

Multi-Language

{lang=xx} (BCP 47). Untagged appears in all. Combine with tags: {lang=en .@backend}. Filter: --lang en or --lang en,fr. Dimensions multiply: 2 langs × 2 tags = 4 PDFs.

## [Experience]{lang=en} [Expérience]{lang=fr}

### Google

- [Reduced API latency by 60%]{lang=en}
  [Réduction de la latence API de 60%]{lang=fr}

Git Integration

Setup alias (once):

git config alias.resumx '!f() { spec="$1"; shift; case "$spec" in *:*) ;; *) spec="$spec:resume.md";; esac; tag="${spec%%:*}"; header=$(git tag -l --format="%(refname:short)" "$tag" 2>/dev/null); subject=$(git tag -l --format="%(contents:subject)" "$tag" 2>/dev/null); [ -n "$header" ] && printf "\033[2m%s\033[0m\n\033[1m%s\033[0m\n\n" "$header" "$subject"; git show "$spec" | resumx "$@"; }; f'

Tag applications: git tag -a sent/stripe-2026-02 -m "Tailored for L5 infra, emphasized Kafka + distributed systems". Annotated tags print name + note before rendering.

git resumx sent/stripe-2026-02:resume.md              # from tag
git resumx HEAD~3:resume.md --css my-styles.css -o stripe  # past commit
git show :resume.md | resumx -o staged                # staged changes
