New LaTeX CV Template

I recently decided to make a new CV in LaTeX, and quickly ran into a problem: I found most existing templates, such as those found here or here to be a little too complicated for my taste. So I decided to make my own.

I started by looking at some CVs online, and picked a favorite. To aid in my shameless copying of this very nice CV, I wrote a simple LaTeX template, which you can download here.

The template is based on a few simple environments and commands.

Environments: All of the following environments include a section header as an argument (see \cvsec, below).

cvfree: An unformatted section of the CV.

cvchrono: A tabular format used for chronological entries.

cvlist: An enumerated list. The numbering will reset every time this command is used.

cvcontinue: An enumerated list where the numbering continues from the last enumerated list.

Commands:

\cvsec{title}: A section of the CV. It automatically avoids a page break between the section header and the first entry.

\cvitem{date}{entry}: An item for the cvchrono environment. To accommodate multiple rows for "entry" just include them with e.g. \cvitem{2016}{some entry \\ & continued \\ & continued further}, where the "\\ &" separators take advantage of the fact that there is a tabular environment operating under the hood.

\cvpaper{title}{abstract}: A paper title with abstract below.
