Replace EuroPass for the tailored version (with LaTeX?)

Mikaela commented 2 years ago

I have been using EuroPass for the version which is tailored per-business/position, but lately it has only been trouble more than it's worth, so I need to figure out a better option.

Suggested:

LibreOffice (but would I need to deal with Finnish document standard?)
- actually Microsoft Office Word, but I consider it as a non-option due to being Fedora-main and it's expensive.
I guessed LaTeX would allow anything, but need learning and it's what comes up with dnf search "curriculum vitae"
https://www.canva.com/ free - propietary and I am not sure on browser based tools as they may end up like EuroPass

Rejected:

pandoc --pdf-engine=xelatex -f markdown index.md -o fi.pdf - doesn't look pretty and people who don't know don't see the skill involved in markdown and converting it to pdf

It may be time to learn LaTeX.

For LaTeX I can recommend the Gummi editor as an easy entry point and TexStudio for some of the more advanced stuff once you convinced yourself that LaTeX is way more awesome than M$ Word.

Overleaf.com is also good
