Plain text export?

[mpalermo73]

Hey!

I'm coming to your project from HackMyResume which appears pretty much abandoned at this point. One thing that it can do which I've found invaluable over the years is being able to generate a plain txt version of a resume. I use that version for super simple copy 'n' paste for online submission forms (WorkDay grumble grumble...). Currently your project "only" supports pdf and html. I'm curious is there's any thoughts/plans to support plain text also?

THANK YOU!

Gday, there is an old repo https://github.com/jsonresume/resumeToText but doesn't support the new themeing system.

Are you using the hosted registry or building manually?

And/or if you can code up a sample text resume, I could code the theme and add it to the hosted registry.

e.g.

so on and so fourth

Hi!

I'm building manually / locally. For my main resume PDF/html, I'm using a locally modified jsonresume-theme-paper and for the text version I'm using a modified compact theme. I haven't done much hacking to either theme. Just change some font sizes, margins, little tweaks like that. Though resume-cli blows up using "my" compact theme. I'm digging into why and can report back if it's not something dumb I'm doing...

(semi-sanitized for privacy) text_resume.txt

I haven't actually submitted this anywhere. It's just for personal copy 'n' paste to simplify online forms. It's nothing fancy and even your super quick example above is plenty pretty enough.

That's awesome, I like the format you chose.

If you fork and push your new theme as jsonresume-theme-text, I would love to add it to the official registry such that

https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis?theme=text

Would render in your format.
