Subitems in work experience section #2

The expressive resume is expressive!

I'm wondering if I can add subitems under main items in the work experience section. It's a personal preference for organizing the resume. It's just nice to have.

Something like this:

Great question! This is already possible with the current version of expressive-resume.

Examples:

\section{Work Experience}

\experience{Summer Intern}{Radiant Software Systems}{Aug 2021}{May 2021}{
    \achievement{
        Developed a mobile app in \tech{React Native} that was
        downloaded 100k times on Google Play.

        % You can nest achievements
        \achievement{ Sub-achievement 1 }
        \achievement{ Sub-achievement 2 }

        % If you want a numbered sub-list, use the `enumerate` environment.
        \begin{enumerate}
            \item Sub-point 1
            \item Sub-point 2
        \end{enumerate}
    }
}

How it works Under the hood, the \achievement{ TEXT } command is just a wrapper for the itemize environment built into LaTeX with some added formatting. All the TEXT you enter is considered part of one \item of that environment. As a result, any LaTeX code you can put inside of an \item can be passed as the TEXT of the \achievement.

Contribution Recommendation If you're feeling ambitious, feel free to open a PR creating a new docs folder with a set of more advanced/detailed documentation to include use cases like this one that are outside of the scope of the Quickstart in the README.md.
