# Academic-cv
-I changed some things from the AltaCV template in LaTeX.
\ No newline at end of file
+I changed some things from the AltaCV template in LaTeX.
+
+## My Adjustments
+
+Languages use "The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)" not stupid circles like all CVs do for some reason.
+Location in \cvevents is irrelevant for me, most of my work is across a wide region or online, I switched to links.
+Added a motivation statement and some links
+A template for compact links is added.
+I switched the day of my life to the right col.
+
+## Problems
+
+Links have some weird margin behavior, couldn't figure how to change it.
+
+## FORKED AltaCV, yet another LaTeX CV/Résumé class
+
+v1.7.1 (25 Aug 2023), by LianTze Lim (liantze@gmail.com)
+
+* v1.7 (9 Aug 2023) changes:
+ - `\itemmarker` and `\ratingmarker` renamed to `\cvItemMarker` and `\cvRatingMarker`
+ - Added `\cvLocationMarker` and `\cvDateMarker` so that these icons in `\cvevent`
+ can be re-defined
+ - Added `\locationname` and `\datename` for replacement text of the location and date
+ markers in `\cvevent`
+ - Other tweaks with `accsupp` (with another bugfix in v1.7.1.)
+* Added `\mynames{...}` to specify names to be highlighted in the publication list on 3 Nov 2022
+* Starred `\NewInfoField*` command to handle Mastodon; Icons, `\cvskills`, `\wheelchart` have "copyable" text values; `\cvskill` supports numerical values {0.5, 1, ..., 4.5, 5} on 21 May 2021
+* Moved `biblatex`-related code to `*.cfg` files for easier edit on 8 May 2021
+* Removed dependency on `academicons` on 12 Apr 2021
+* Clickable hyperlinked info fields added on 10 May 2020
+* Sample file with new `paracol` layout added on 2 February 2020
+
+(Thanks to [Nur](https://github.com/nurh) for the name.)
+
+It all started with this:
+
+[](https://twitter.com/Leonduck/status/764281546408923136)
+
+Leonardo was talking about a [résumé of Marissa Mayer that Business Insider put together](http://www.businessinsider.my/a-sample-resume-for-marissa-mayer-2016-7/) using [enhancv.com](https://enhancv.com).
+I _knew_ I had to do something about it. And so AltaCV was born.
+
+## Samples
+
+This is how the re-created résumé looks like ([view/open on Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/examples/recreating-business-insiders-cv-of-marissa-mayer-using-altacv/gtqfpbwncfvp)):
+
+
+
+Though if you're creating your own CV/résumé, you'd probably prefer using the basic template ([view/open on Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/altacv-template/trgqjpwnmtgv)):
+
+
+
+
+## Requirements and Compilation
+
+* pdflatex + biber + pdflatex
+* AltaCV uses [`fontawesome5`](http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontawesome5).
+* Use the `normalphoto` option to get normal (i.e. non-circular) photos.
+* As of v1.2 you can add multiple photos on the left or right: `\photoL{2cm}{logo1}` and `\photoR{2.5cm}{logo2,photo}`. (`\photo` will work like `\photoR`.) Separate your image filenames with commas _without_ spaces.
+* Use the `ragged2e` option to activate hyphenations while keeping text left-justified; line endings will thus be less jagged and more aesthetically pleasing.
+* As of v1.3 the `withhyper` document class option will make the "personal info" fields into clickable hyperlinks (where it makes sense). See below for more details.
+* Can now be compiled with pdflatex, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX!
+ * Note that to compile with XeLaTeX, you should use a command line as follows, per [the `pdfx` documentation](http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfx/pdfx.pdf): `xelatex -shell-escape -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -z 0" sample.tex`
+* The samples here use the [Lato](http://www.latofonts.com/lato-free-fonts/) and [Roboto Slab fonts](https://github.com/googlefonts/robotoslab). Feel free to use a different typeface package instead—often a different typeface will change the entire CV's feel.
+
+## `sample.tex` ##
+
+This file was first created as `sample-alt.tex` on 2 Feb 2020. **It is the default sample LaTeX file since 10 May 2020.**
+
+Many users have overlooked the optional argument of `\cvsection` to insert the right sidebar contents, and often confused that the right sidebar doesn't automatically break across pages. This new layout uses the `paracol` package for typesetting the left and right columns that _can_ break across pages. It also makes changing the column widths easier:
+
+```latex
+%% Set the left/right column width ratio to 6:4.
+\columnratio{0.6}
+
+% Start a 2-column paracol. Both the left and right columns will automatically
+% break across pages if things get too long.
+\begin{paracol}{2}
+\cvsection{Experience}
+...
+... END OF LEFT COLUMN CONTENTS ...
+
+% Now switch to the right column.
+\switchcolumn
+\cvsection{Education}
+...
+...END OF RIGHT COLUMN CONTENTS ...
+\end{paracol}
+```
+You can also use `\swithcolumn*` for "synchronising" the columns, as well as other commands from the `paracol` package. See the [`paracol` package documentation](http://texdoc.net/pkg/paracol) for further details.
+
+**You do not need use the `fullwidth` environment nor use optional arguments with `\cvsection` with this new template.**
+
+## Clickable Info fields
+
+As of v1.3, the `withhyper` document class option will load the `hyperref` package, and make fields in the personal detail fields into clickable hyperlinks (where it makes sense anyway).
+
+*BIG CAVEAT:* Remember that not all readers may want to click on hyperlinks in PDFs. You may therefore sometimes want to _remove_ `withhyper`, and spell out the field URL details a bit more completely, e.g. `\github{github.com/your-id}`.
+
+Anyway assuming that you _do_ keep `withhyper` enabled: For each field e.g. `\homepage{foobar.com}`, a `\homepagesymbol` has been defined, and the clickable hyperlink is generated by prepending the `\homepagehyperprefix` to `foobar.com`. The `\homepgehyperprefix` is defined to be `\https://`, so this generates the hyperlink `https://foobar.com`.
+
+If your homepage doesn't use HTTPS yet, or if you want to use a different symbol, you can re-define them with
+```latex
+\renewcommand{\homepagehyperprefix}{http://}
+\renewcommand{\homepagesymbol}{\faLink}
+```
+
+
+## New Information Fields ####
+
+I've decided against adding definitions for too many fields and symbols in the `.cls` itself; otherwise we'll have all possible platforms in the world (and more services are born everyday!) within `altacv.cls` before we know it.
+
+You can actually just typeset your own arbitrary information fields using the `\printinfo{symbol}{detail}[optional hyperlink prefix]` command within `\personalinfo`:
+
+````latex
+\printinfo{\faPaw}{Hey ho!}
+\printinfo{\faGitLab}{your-handle}[https://gitlab.com/]
+````
+
+Or if you really prefer, you can define a new field yourself with `\NewInfoFiled{fieldname}{symbol}[optional hyperlink prefix]` before using it:
+
+````latex
+\NewInfoField{gitlab}{\faGitlab}[https://gitlab.com/]
+\gitlab{your_id}
+````
+
+For services and platforms like Mastodon where there isn't a straightforward relation between the more popular user ID or nickname and the hyperlink, you can use `\printinfo` directly e.g.
+
+```latex
+\printinfo{\faMastodon}{@username@instace}[https://instance.url/@username]
+```
+
+But if you absolutely want to create new dedicated info fields for such platforms, then use `\NewInfoField*` with a star:
+
+```latex
+\NewInfoField*{mastodon}{\faMastodon}
+```
+
+then you can use `\mastodon` with TWO arguments where the 2nd argument is the full hyperlink.
+
+```latex
+\mastodon{@username@instance}{https://instance.url/@username}
+```
+
+
+## Configurable colours
+
+Use `\colorlet` or `\definecolor` to change these; see examples
+in preamble of `sample.tex`.
+* `accent`
+* `emphasis`
+* `heading`
+* `headingrule`
+* `subheading`
+* `body`
+* `name`
+* `tagline`
+
+## Configurable fonts
+
+Use `\renewcommand` to change these; see examples in preamble of
+`sample.tex`.
+* `\namefont`
+* `\taglinefont`
+* `\personalinfofont`
+* `\cvsectionfont`
+* `\cvsubsectionfont`
+
+## Configurable icons
+
+Use `\renewcommand` to change these; see examples in preamble of
+`sample.tex`.
+* `\cvItemMarker` (bullets for `itemize`)
+* `\cvRatingMarker` (for `\cvskill`)
+* `\cvDateMarker` (for date in `\cvevent`)
+* `\cvLocationMarker` (for location in `\cvevent` and `\location`)
+
+
+## Is this template ATS-friendly?
+There is some discussion about this in issue #76. No actual claims are made, because we don't really know how each ATS system works. But this template uses `accsupp` to add replacement text for the icons, which may help — e.g. the `\faGithub` icon rendered in the PDF would copy-and-paste from Acrobat Reader, as exactly the text `\faGithub`.
+
+You could try running `pdftotext -raw sample.pdf` to view the text-only version of the CV, with the columnar layout removed.
+
+Alternatively running `pdftotext -layout sample.pdf` to view the text-only version in a pseudo-two-column layout.
+
+In particular `\locationname` and `\datename` hold the replacement text for the location and date/duration icon in `\cvevent`. These can be re-defined especially if your CV is in a non-English language, e.g. Spanish (see commented examples in preamble of `sample.tex`):
+
+```latex
+\renewcommand{\locationname}{Ubicación}
+\renewcommand{\datename}{Fecha}
+```
+
+---
+
+## `legacy/sample-old.tex` (for historical record only)
+
+This was the original sample template file until 5 May 2020. The right sidebar is actually a _`marginpar`_, so it doesn't support footnote and cannot automatically break across pages if it's too long. You would need to split your right sidebar contents into separate files e.g. `p1sidebar.tex` and `p2sidebar.tex`, and insert them as the optional argument of the `\cvsection{...}` that you want to align them with:
+
+```latex
+\cvsection[p1sidebar]{Experience}
+...
+... END OF FIRST PAGE OF YOUR CV ...
+\cvsection[page2sidebar]{Publications}
+...
+```
+
+This assumes that the next page's main column would start immediately with a `\cvsection`, so that the top of your right sidebar contents also appear at the top of the page. Now if the _next_ page doesn't start with a `\cvsection` but you'd still like to add a sidebar, then use this command on the _current_ page to add it. The optional argument lets you pull up the sidebar a bit so that it looks aligned with the top of the main column:
+
+```latex
+\addnextpagesidebar[-1ex]{page3sidebar}
+```
+
+If you want to change the left and right columns' widths, you'll need to tinker with the `right` (distance from paper's right edge until the main column's right edge) and `marginparwidth` (width of the right sidebar) options in the `\geometry` line. For example, to make the right sidebar wider by 2cm, you could use
+
+```latex
+%% original was right=9cm, marginparwidth=6.8cm
+\geometry{left=1cm,right=11cm,marginparwidth=8.8cm,marginparsep=1.2cm,top=1cm,bottom=1cm}
+```
+as well as doing a bit of arithmetic when you're making the header to get it full-width, i.e. reducing the sidebar by 2cm and extending the main column by 2cm.
+
+```latex
+\begin{adjustwidth}{}{-10cm} %% original was -8cm
+\makecvheader
+\end{adjustwidth}
+```
