Rendercv
RenderCV is a YAML-to-PDF resume generator built on Typst typesetting, giving you full typographic control without touching LaTeX. You write your work history and education in structured YAML, pick a theme (classic, harvard, engineeringresumes, moderncv, etc.), and get publication-quality PDFs plus HTML, Markdown, and PNG outputs. The design system is granular: you can tweak colors, fonts, margins, spacing, and entry layouts through the YAML schema, which maps to Pydantic models for type safety. It supports 22 languages out of the box and has a watch mode that re-renders on file changes. Useful when you want reproducible, version-controlled resumes or need to generate multiple variants from the same content with different styling.
