\Moderncv provides a document class for typesetting modern curriculum vit\ae~ and corresponding cover letters
|
|
for applications in various styles.
|
|
Five predefined styles are available and each of the styles can be adjusted through options adjusting headings and colors.
|
|
It is fairly customizable, allowing the user to adjust the look and feel of each style to their liking.

\section{Getting started}
|
|
\subsection{How to read this manual}
|
|
This manual is organized as follows.
|
|
The present section contains information on how to get started with the \Moderncv
|
|
package, i.e. how to install required packages to your system.
|
|
%
|
|
% \emph{Note, that it is assumed, that you know how to install \LaTeX\ packages in case some are missing}.
|
|
%
|
|
Section \ref{section:moderncvTemplate} provides a step by step guide of the \Moderncv template file and how to work with it.
|
|
%
|
|
Section \ref{section:customization} discusses details of the customizations that can be done by the user:
|
|
The different styles, their options, colors and tips and tricks.
|
|
%
|
|
Section \ref{section:implementationDetails} contains information about the packages being used by \moderncv,
|
|
known problems and possible solutions that have been found.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Installation instructions}
|
|
If the \Moderncv package does not ship with your \LaTeX\ distribution, or the installed version is too old,
|
|
grab the \Moderncv code from \Ctan or \github: \medskip
|
|
|
|
\begin{tabular}{l}
|
|
\moderncvCtan \\%[.5ex]
|
|
\moderncvGithub
|
|
\end{tabular}
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Note.} Depending on your \LaTeX\ distribution some additional packages might have to be installed.
|
|
Section \ref{section:implementationDetails:requiredPackages} lists all packages that \Moderncv requires to be installed on your system.
|
|
|
|
\section{The \texttt{moderncv} template step by step.}
|
|
This section is meant as a quick reference to the \Moderncv package and should contain enough information
|
|
to get a first working curriculum vit\ae~ typeset.
|
|
\label{section:moderncvTemplate}
|
|
The easiest way to get started with \Moderncv is to adjust the template that comes with the package.
|
|
In case the \Moderncv package is part of your \LaTeX\ distribution, search for the folder \Moderncv
|
|
on your system containing all files of the package.
|
|
In this folder, there should be a file called \cvtemplate.
|
|
In case you downloaded the package from \Github or \Ctan move into the folder of the newly downloaded (and possibly extracted) package to
|
|
find the file \Cvtemplate there.
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Note.} If you downloaded \Moderncv from \Github or \Ctan and you move the \Cvtemplate to another folder make sure to adjust the \Code{TEXINPUTS} variable to find the newly downloaded package.
|
|
Otherwise either the old package version gets used or \LaTeX\ throws an error if there is no other version installed.
|
|
|
|
Test your setup by compiling \Cvtemplate and have a look at the result.
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Note.} The \Moderncv packages should compile fine with \Code{pdflatex}, \Code{lualatex} and \Code{xelatex}. However, when using \Code{pdflatex} not all icons are available so using either
|
|
\Code{lualatex} or \Code{xelatex} \emph{is strongly recommended}.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Basic setup}
|
|
A document using the \Moderncv document class gets set up as any other document class. We go through the template step by step.
|
|
\subsubsection*{Configuring document class options}
|
|
The \Moderncv document class is loaded as per usual, by
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\documentclass[<options>]{moderncv}
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
where up to one of each category of the following options \smallskip
|
|
|
|
\begingroup
|
|
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.1}
|
|
\begin{tabular}{r@{\hspace{2ex}}p{0.52\textwidth}}
|
|
{\bfseries \code{paper}:} & \code{a4paper}, \code{a5paper}, \code{b5paper}, \code{letterpaper},
|
|
\code{legalpaper}, \code{executivepaper}, \code{landscape} \\
|
|
{\bfseries \code{font family:}} & \code{sans}, \code{roman} \\
|
|
{\bfseries \code{font size:}} & \code{10pt}, \code{11pt}, \code{12pt} \\
|
|
{\bfseries \code{draft/final:}} & \code{draft}, \code{final}
|
|
\end{tabular}
|
|
\endgroup \smallskip
|
|
|
|
\noindent can be passed to the document class.
|
|
By default, the \Moderncv document class uses \code{a4paper}, \code{11pt}, \code{final}.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection*{Configuring \texttt{moderncv} style and color}
|
|
Choose a \Moderncv style and color by adjusting the commands
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\moderncvstyle{<style>}
|
|
\moderncvcolor{<color>}
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
where the possible options as explained in \Cvtemplate are \smallskip
|
|
|
|
\begingroup
|
|
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.1}
|
|
\begin{tabular}{r@{\hspace{2ex}}p{0.82\textwidth}}
|
|
{\bfseries \code{style}:} & \code{casual} (default), \code{classic}, \code{banking}, \code{oldstyle},
|
|
\code{fancy} \\
|
|
{\bfseries \code{color:}} & \code{black} \cvdoccolorbox{black}, \code{blue} \cvdoccolorbox{cvblue} (default), \code{burgundy} \cvdoccolorbox{cvburgundy}, \code{green} \cvdoccolorbox{cvgreen}, \code{grey} \cvdoccolorbox{cvgrey}, \code{orange} \cvdoccolorbox{cvorange}, \code{purple} \cvdoccolorbox{cvpurple}, \code{red} \cvdoccolorbox{cvred}
|
|
\end{tabular}
|
|
\endgroup
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Note.} If you downloaded the package from \Ctan the folder should contain a subfolder
|
|
\Code{examples/} in which the template has been built for all style options in the standard color blue.
|
|
If you clone the \Github repository you can build these examples by executing
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
Make templates
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
in shell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Note.} Some of the styles take additional options to fine tune their appearance. To keep
|
|
this overview short, the description of these options is postponed to section \ref{section:customization:stylesAndOptions}.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection*{Font family and page numbering}
|
|
The default font family is set by adjusting and uncommenting the line containing the command
|
|
\lstinline!\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}! in \cvtemplate.
|
|
Use \lstinline!\sfdefault! for the default sans serif font, \lstinline!\rmdefault! for the default roman one, or any Tex font name. The general syntax is
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{<fontfamily>}
|
|
%\nopagenumbers{}
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
Uncomment the line \lstinline!%\nopagenumbers{}! to suppress automatic page numbering for CVs longer than one page.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection*{Adjusting input encoding}
|
|
In case you are not using \Code{xelatex} or \Code{lualatex} which both use \Code{utf8} encoding by default uncomment the line containing \lstinline!\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}! and adjust the encoding to your needs.
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
|
|
%\usepackage{CJKutf8} % if you need to use CJK to typeset your resume in Chinese, Japanese or Korean
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
That's about it for the general \Moderncv setup.
|
|
The next section deals with inputting your personal data.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Personal data}
|
|
Edit the the personal data section to reflect your personal information. This data will be inserted in the header of the first page of the curriculum vit\ae~ and/or in the footer of every page.
|
|
This data will also appear on the cover letter.
|
|
The default template settings are
|
|
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\name{John}{Doe}
|
|
\title{R\'{e}sum\'{e} title}
|
|
\address{street and number}{postcode city}{country}
|
|
\phone[mobile]{+1~(234)~567~890}
|
|
\phone[fixed]{+2~(345)~678~901}
|
|
\phone[fax]{+3~(456)~789~012}
|
|

|
|
\extrainfo{additional information}
|
|
\photo[64pt][0.4pt]{picture}
|
|
\quote{Some quote}
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
In the actual template file, some information is marked as optional and can be commented out if one does not need it.
|
|
The idea here is that there is options for those who need them.
|
|
The commands are pretty self explanatory. Try out what you like and see what you need.
|
|
\todox{explain the second optional argument of \code{\\social} command}
|
|
\todox{explain adding pictures}
|
|
\todox{Add note about how to cope with long names and long URLs. is this handled correctly?}
|
|
|
|
\todox{include figures of the styles here? or in the styles section}
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Bibliography.}
|
|
In case BibTeX is used, the bibliography settings are adjusted in the lines
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
% to show numerical labels in the bibliography (default is to show no labels)
|
|
% \renewcommand*{\bibliographyitemlabel}{[\arabic{enumiv}]}
|
|
% \renewcommand{\refname}{Articles}
|
|
|
|
% bibliography with mutiple entries
|
|
%\usepackage{multibib}
|
|
%\newcites{book,misc}{{Books},{Others}}
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
By default no labels are shown for bibliography entries.
|
|
Having the line
|
|
\lstinline!%\renewcommand*{\bibliographyitemlabel}{[\arabic{enumiv}]}! uncommented,
|
|
allows to fine tune the labels.
|
|
The line \lstinline!%\renewcommand{\refname}{Articles}! allows to redefine the bibliography heading string ``Publications'' that is shown by default.
|
|
Finally, adjustments using the multibib package can be done in the last two lines shown here.
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Note.} \biblatex~ is not supported as of now.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Modifying CV content}
|
|
\subsubsection{Structuring the CV}
|
|
\todox{add short explanation explaning that sectioning can be used.}
|
|
The command to open a new section is:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\section{<title>}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
and every section can be divided into subsections:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\subsection{<title>}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
If necessary, there is a command to close the section:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\closesection{}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
and even one to create an empty section:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\emptysection{}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
An example of their usage can be the next one:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\section{Section with your own content}\closesection
|
|
Your content here, inside the normal \LaTeX{} environment.
|
|
You can use any regular \LaTeX{} command, display mathematics
|
|
\[e =m\,c^2,\]
|
|
put some table or figure, \dots
|
|
|
|
\emptysection{}
|
|
\cvitem{Now}{Back to moderncv layout, without making a new section :-)}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
whose results is shown in figure \ref{fig:ex_sec}.

\subsubsection{\texttt{moderncv} macros}
|
|
|
|
Inside sections, you can choose between different kind of items depending on the purpose:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item in the sections describing your education or your job experiences, you can use:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\cventry{years}{degree/job title}{institution/employer}
|
|
{localization}{optional: grade/...}
|
|
{optional: comment/job description}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\vspace{-20pt}
|
|
where the last three arguments are optional
|
|
\item inside `language' cvsection environment, you can type every entry with:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\cvlanguage{name}{level}{comment}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item inside `computer skills' cvsection environment, you can type every entry with:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\cvcomputer{category}{programs}{category}{programs}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item to typeset lines with a hint on the left:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\cvline{leftmark}{text}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item to typeset entry with a description on the left, but in two columns inside a cvsection:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\cvdoubleitem{subtitle}{text}{subtitle}{text}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item to typeset lists on one column inside a cvsection:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\cvlistitem{point1}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item to typeset lists on two columns inside a cvsection:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\cvlistdoubleitem{point1}{point2}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\item to add a section listing all your publications stored in a BibTeX file:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\nocite{*}
|
|
\bibliographystyle{plain}
|
|
\bibliography{BibTeX_file}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\vspace{-20pt}
|
|
where the name of the section title can be changed by redefining the \Code{refname} with \verb|\renewcommand{\refname}{<new_name>}|
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{More customizations}
|
|
|
|
You have some useful commands to personalize your CV further.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\subsection*{Adjusting lengths}
|
|
The different lengths used by moderncv are customizable by
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
\setlength{<length>}{<new_dimensions>}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
where \Code{<length>} are \Code{quote\-width}, \Code{sep\-a\-ra\-tor\-col\-umn\-width}, \Code{main\-col\-umn\-width}, \Code{doub\-le\-i\-tem\-main\-col\-umn\-width}, \Code{list\-i\-tem\-sym\-bol\-width}, \Code{list\-doub\-le\-i\-tem\-main\-col\-umn\-width},
|
|
|
|
In particular, the first column, can be set to any width. You can do that in two way:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item using \verb|\sethintscolumnlength{<length>}|, where \Code{<length>} is the desired length in a unit LaTeX understands
|
|
\item using \verb|\sethintscolumntowidth{<string>}|, where \Code{<string>} is a string of the desired length (usually, the longest string that has to appear in the column)
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\subsection*{Additional commands}
|
|
There are commands to manage hypertextual links:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item[-] \verb|\link[optional text]{URL}|
|
|
\item[-] \verb|\httplink[optional text]{link}|
|
|
\item[-] \verb|\emaillink[optional text]{link}|
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
There is a \verb|\today| command, useful for example if you need to add the date the CV was produced.

|
|
\subsection{Styles and their options}
|
|
\label{section:customization:stylesAndOptions}
|
|
Each style allows fine tuning through passing options to the \Code{\\moderncvstyle} command. The general syntax
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\moderncvstyle[<option1>,<option2>,...]{<style>}
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
for passing options follows the usual \LaTeX\ scheme.
|
|
Each style defines their own options and not all options are available for each style.
|
|
Below is a list of all options available along with a short description.
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{\texttt{casual}.} This style allows the following options which \emph{only} affect footer and head style.\medskip
|
|
|
|
\begingroup
|
|
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.1}
|
|
\begin{tabular}{r@{\hspace{2ex}}p{0.82\textwidth}}
|
|
{\bfseries \code{head alignment}:} & values: \Code{left}, \Code{right} (default). This option allows to influence the alignment of the title and the picture if one is included. \\
|
|
{\bfseries \texttt{name}:} & values: \Code{alternate}. Displays the name in all lowercase letters. Differentiation of the name is done by color (disabled by default). This feature is discouraged for longer names.\\
|
|
{\bfseries \code{data in head}:} & values: \Code{details}, \Code{nodetails} (default). Show personal data in the header (\code{details}) or in the footer (\code{nodetails} (default)). \\
|
|
{\bfseries \code{symbols:}} & values: \Code{symbols} (default), \code{nosymbols}. These options let you chose between the inclusion of icons for the personal data or text based abbreviations.
|
|
\end{tabular}\medskip
|
|
\endgroup
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{\texttt{classic}.} This style allows the following options:\medskip

|
|
{\bfseries \code{symbols:}} & values: \Code{symbols} (default), \code{nosymbols}. These options let you chose between the inclusion of icons for the personal data or text based abbreviations.
|
|
\end{tabular}\medskip
|
|
\endgroup
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{\texttt{banking}.} This style allows the following options:\medskip
|
|
|

{\bfseries \code{rule style}:} & values: \Code{fullrules}, \Code{shortrules}, \Code{mixedrules} (default), \code{norules}. This option allows to adjust the rules used in the style. \\
|
|
{\bfseries \code{symbols:}} & values: \Code{symbols} (default), \code{nosymbols}. These options let you chose between the inclusion of icons for the personal data or text based abbreviations.
|
|
\end{tabular}\medskip
|
|
\endgroup
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{\texttt{oldstyle}.} This style allows the following options:\medskip
|
|

\paragraph{\texttt{fancy}.} This style allows the following options:\medskip
|
|
|
|
\begingroup
|
|
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.1}
|

{\bfseries \code{symbols:}} & values: \Code{symbols} (default), \code{nosymbols}. These options let you chose between the inclusion of icons for the personal data or text based abbreviations.
|
|
\end{tabular}\medskip
|
|
\endgroup
|
|
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Note.} From each option category only one of the possibilities listed can be passed at a time, e.g.:
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\moderncvstyle[left,nosymbols]{casual}
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
|

\subsection{Modifying symbols and icons}
|
|
\subsubsection{Icons}
|
|
As we have seen in section \ref{section:customization:stylesAndOptions}, the use of icons can be
|
|
influenced by the \code{symbols} and \Code{nosymbols} options that can be passed to the \Code{\\moderncvstyle} command. \medskip
|
|
|
|
The icons used in the display of the personal data (phone numbers, email, fax, social accounts, etc.) can be customized by redefining the internal commands representing the symbols.
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\renewcommand*{<\symbolcommand>}{{\small<\symbol>}~}
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
Using \code{\\small} is optional, but by default all icons are rendered using the small
|
|
versions of the symbols used. \emph{The above command is what should be used if one merely whishes to
|
|
replace an icon/symbol leaving the size consistent with the default icons}.
|
|
The tilde ensures proper spacing after the symbols and is recommended as well.
|
|
|
|
Currently \moderncv supports the following commands as \code{<\\symbolcommand>}:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item \lstinline!\addresssymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\mobilephonesymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\fixedphonesymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\faxphonesymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\emailsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\homepagesymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\linkedinsocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\xingsocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\twittersocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\githubsocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\gitlabsocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\stackoverflowsocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\bitbucketsocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\skypesocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\orcidsocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\researchgatesocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\researcheridsocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\telegramsocialsymbol!
|
|
\item \lstinline!\googlescholarsocialsymbol!
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
The possible options for \Code{<\\symbol>} depend on the package that is used.
|
|
By default the \Code{marvosym} package is loaded if \Code{pdflatex} is used and the packages
|
|
\code{academicons} and \Code{fontawesome5} are loaded if \Code{lualatex} or \Code{xelatex} are
|
|
employed. The documentation including full lists of all available symbols and icons can be found
|
|
in the respective package documentations \medskip
|
|
|
|
\begin{tabular}{l}
|
|
\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/marvosym}\\[1ex]
|
|
\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/fontawesome5}\\[1ex]
|
|
\url{https://ctan.org/pkg/academicons}
|
|
\end{tabular}
|
|
|
|
\paragraph{Example.}
|
|
If one wanted to use the dingbat fonts to substitute fixed phone symbol one would load the \Code{pifont} package in the preamble, then substitute the default symbol \Code{\\fixedphonesymbol} with the dingbat symbol \ding{38}\ by:
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\renewcommand*{\fixedphonesymbol}{\ding{38}~}
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Listing labels}
|
|
The labels used in \Code{itemize} environments or the \Moderncv macros \code{cvlistitem} and \Code{cvlistdoubleitem} can be affected in two different ways:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item By redefining the internal commands \code{\\labelitemi}, \code{\\labelitemii} as well as
|
|
\code{\\labelitemiii} and \code{\\labelitemiv}, e.g.
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\renewcommand{\labelitemi}{-}.
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
This will affect both, the \Code{itemize} environments as well as the macros \Code{cvlistitem} and \Code{cvlistdoubleitem}.
|
|
\item If one only whishes to change the labels of the macros \Code{cvlistitem} and \Code{cvlistdoubleitem}, one needs to redefine the \code{\\listitemsymbol}, e.g.
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\renewcommand{\listitemsymbol}{-}.
|
|
\end{lstlisting}
|
|
This will leave the definitions of \Code{itemize} environments untouched.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Tips and Tricks}
|
|
\subsubsection{Legal disclaimer at the end of CV}
|
|
Some countries (e.g. Italy) require to add the permission to treat the personal data contained in the CV. This can be achieved by the command \code{\\vfill}. At the end of the last entry to your
|
|
CV, add the following:%
|
|
\footnote{Example provided by Cristina Sambo} %
|
|
\begin{lstlisting}
|
|
\vfill
|
|
\begin{center}
|
|
\textit{\small Ai sensi del D. Lgs. 196/2003 ...}
|
|
\end{center}
|
|
\end{lstlisting}

\subsection{Required packages}
|
|
\label{section:implementationDetails:requiredPackages}
|
|
In addition to the packages that \Moderncv itself provides the following packages are loaded internally:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item\code{etoolbox},
|
|
\item\code{ifthen},
|
|
\item\code{xcolor},
|
|
\item\code{ifxetex,ifluatex},
|
|
\item\code{fontenc},
|
|
\item\code{url},
|
|
\item\code{hyperref},
|
|
\item\code{graphicx},
|
|
\item\code{fancyhdr},
|
|
\item\code{tweaklist},
|
|
\item\code{calc},
|
|
\item\code{xparse},
|
|
\item\code{microtype},
|
|
\item\code{expl3},
|
|
\item\code{tikz},
|
|
\item\code{changepage},
|
|
\item\code{fontawesome5},
|
|
\item\code{academicons},
|
|
\item\code{tgpagella}, %
|
|
\item\code{ebgaramond}, %
|
|
\item\code{kurier},
|
|
\item\code{multirow},
|
|
\item\code{arydshln}. %
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
Note that the \Code{tweaklist} package has been altered for the development of \Moderncv and ships
|
|
with \moderncv.
|
|
|
|
Most of the packages should be included in the \LaTeX\ distribution of your choice.
