I have enjoyed switching mine to HTML format which I then generate a PDF from. The only downside is that different browsers can render stuff slightly different, but that’s normally fixable with one line css change. And it’s not like I need to update my resume constantly on different machines.
I was on Word, then LibreOffice Writer.
Now thinking of making it a markdown source, with CSS styling to get an HTML based PDF.
This way, the same source can be used on a webpage with different generation code.
This seems to me, to be simpler than LATEX, but still good enough for a resume.
There is a standard called json-resume with a lot of generators for html and pdf or react-resume which is more like a CMS (not entirely sure about spelling, to lazy to search for it now)
kramdown is more fully featured and is a Ruby Gem.
discount is made in C and is more suitable if you are using it in an on-the-fly render process (∵ lesser CPU cycles), but it has lesser functionality features.
I should write my resume in LaTeX.
Wait there are other ways to write a resume?
I know it’s a long video but you have no idea what’s possible.

HTML. Some it people have their CV on their personal website.
(And CSS and JS, I guess)
I do too, by embedding a pdf :p.
Oh, maybe I should try mathjax…
Haha my first thought seeing this meme is “do you want to start writing LaTeX by hand? Because this is how you start…”
I have it is so worth it. I then use GitHub / GitLab releases to “release” a built PDF for my reference.
I wrote mine in LaTeX, highly recommend.
I mean, I spent years writing LaTeX for school so it was real simple and mindless. YMMV

But I need to add that I never made it work for me because they are not really good for scientific CVs
Interesting, but not appealing to me.
I have already been enchanted by
discountand mesmerised bykramdown.I like this idea. What tool do you use for converting the markdown to html?
kramdownanddiscountare 2 fun little tools.kramdownis more fully featured and is a Ruby Gem.discountis made in C and is more suitable if you are using it in an on-the-fly render process (∵ lesser CPU cycles), but it has lesserfunctionalityfeatures.I do this using overleaf. It’s been much easier to maintain and update since switching.
