I've heard making and managing a resume in LaTeX is highly useful. I am sure consistent and easy to maintain output format is one reason.
I haven't used LaTeX before (a suggestion to where from to learn will also be helpful) so my question may be fairly trivial.
The questions:
-
Is it possible to have one resume
and have multiple outputs (I don't
know what it is called, but I mean when
you make a PDF, etc. of it) based on
you selecting show this section and
don't show this section? How?For example, at some places I would
like to give them my resume with
mentions of X and Y and not A while
I would like to give my resume
elsewhere with A and not X or Y. - Also, is it possible to have a
couple of summary sections written
and chose one of them to be inserted
when the documented is exported (as
in made into a PDF, etc.)? How?

For this sort of “conditional” compilation I would suggest the use of, e.g., verbatim to create
comment
environments to skip over parts of a document with respect to your selected options. A quick exampleToggling between the two definitions of the
optionA
environment (of course you should give it a more descriptive name) you can select whether the appropriate content is shown (or not) in the final pdf output.
