From: Thomas Leitner Date: 2004-11-24T11:48:01+09:00 Subject: [ANN] xmlresume2x 0.1.0 Hi everybody, here is the initial release of xmlresume2x which "converts an xml resume to various output formats"! Homepage: http://xmlresume2x.rubyforge.org Download: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=459 News entry: http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=1977 Currently there is only a .tgz and .zip package available and an .rps file for directly installing via the rpa tool (not yet in the RPA - Mauricio?) by using: # rpa install http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/2010/xmlresume2x-0.1.0.rps It seems as if RubyGems do not support data dirs (/usr/share/...), therefore there is no RubyGem file for xmlresume2x available. If someone could point me at the right documentation on how to install files to the data directory with RubyGems, it would be great! And last but not least the essential part of the README file: = Description The "XML Resume Library" at http://xmlresume.sourceforge.net provides a way for storing one's resume data in a consistent way. The XML r�sum� can be transformed to various output formats, including text, HTML and PDF by utilizing XSLT. I came across the European Curriculum Vitae format at http://www.cedefop.eu..int/transparency/cv.asp which provides a standard for CVs in Europe. Nicola Vitacolonna has used this information to provide a LaTeX class - europecv (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/europecv.html) - which (nearly) conforms to this standard. As the XML R�sum� Library does not have a converter for this, I wrote this program to convert an XML r�sum� to a LaTeX file which uses the europecv class. During the development process I realized that it would be useful to add support for other output formats. Therefore I changed the conversion process to use configuration files so that this program can be used to transform a r�sum� to any output format. = Dependencies No Ruby dependencies but if you want to convert the resulting LaTeX file to a PDF file, you need to have LaTeX and the europecv class installed. = Installation $ ruby setup.rb config $ ruby setup.rb setup $ ruby setup.rb install Or you could use Rake and substitute the above commands with this: $ rake install
