You will probably confuse the style file. % % \name{text} defines your name % % \address{text} % defines your address % this can be called twice if you have two addresses % use \\'s to indicate where either line breaks or % comas should go % % \opening this prints your name and address at that spot % this is not normally needed, as \begin{resume} % does this but is provided just in case you need % to do something odd % % \begin{resume} ... \end{resume} % all of the resume should go inside of this % environment % % \section{text} % This prints 'text' in the left hand margin. % Its exact placement depends on what the style % options has been set to. (overlapped or margin) % You should use \\ to start a new line. If the % style option is margin, the \\ is converted % to a space. % To use this in any of the list environments, put % the \section after the \item[] but before the % text. % Eg. % \begin{itemize} % \item\section{text} % text % \end{itemize} % % \begin{ncolumn}{n} ... \end{ncolumn} % creates a tabular environment with n equally % spaced columns. Separate columns by & and % end them with \\ % % \begin{position} ... \end{position} % this is used to print a job description. There should % be only one job description in it. Information % related to the job (such as title, dates...) will % be printed. % % \begin{format} ... \end{format} % used to change the default format for the position % environment. Within it the recognized commands are: % \title{option} % \employer{option} % \location{option} % \dates{option} % \body % \\ % where option is one of l,r,c standing for left, right, center. % The format will eventually be used to make several % tabular environments and you are defining the number of columns % and the placement of text within the columns of the tabulars. % Each row is terminated by a \\. Any number of options can % be on a line, they will each be set in their own columns. % Any of the options except \body may be left out. % % Eg. % \begin{format} % \title{l}\employer{r}\\ % \dates{r}\\ % \body\\ % \location{l}\\ % \end{format} % % In this example the title and employer information % are set in 2 columns left justified and right justified % respectively. Then the date is set right justified. % Then the body is set. Then the location is set left % justified. % % \employer{text} % \title{text} % \dates{text} % \location{text} % declare text for the next invocation of the position % environment % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Glue %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % sectionskip the amount of horizontal before a section % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Dimensions %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % sectionwidth the amount that the section titles go in the % left margin % % resumewidth the width of the total resume from the left % margin to the right.
