CTAN package update: CurVe
by CTAN Announcements 15 Sep '05

15 Sep '05

The package described below has been updated on tug.ctan.org and likely has already been updated at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: CurVe Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib Summary description: A curriculum vitae class for LaTeX2e License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CurVe version 1.10 is out. New in this release: - automatic skipping of identical keys - fix alignment problem with empty prefix CurVe is a class package that hopefully will make your life easier when you want to write your CV. It provides you with a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe will then properly format your CV for you (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV flavors simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive//macros/latex/contrib .
