Basic Functions

This tidyres package aims to provide users with a simple interface to create multi-column formal resume.

The \restitle{keys} command helps users produce the title of the resume. It accepts the following key-value options: name, location, email, phone, linkedin, and linkedinurl. The linkedin key is a user name suffix (a full LinkedIn URL is built automatically), while linkedinurl overrides it with an explicit URL. For example:

\restitle{
  name     = John Doe,
  location = New York,
  email    = john@example.com,
  phone    = 555-1234,
  linkedin = johndoe,
}

The ressection environment helps users create multi-column sections (e.g., Education, Experience, etc.). The section title is set via the optional key-value argument title, which defaults to Section. For example:

\begin{ressection}[title = Education]
  ...
\end{ressection}

The \ressep command helps users to add small vertical space between sub-items in a section.

The \hlbox{text} command renders inline text in a highlighted rounded box with a monospaced (\ttfamily) font — useful for keywords, technologies, or skills. The optional argument sets the base color (default: gray), e.g. \hlbox[blue]{\LaTeX}.

The \columnratio{ratio} command allows users to customize the column widths of the layout (default: 0.12, 0.88). It should be used in the preamble, e.g.:

\columnratio{0.15, 0.85}
