cvheader-footersectioning
Hi,
I am looking to recreate the style above for a resume. For the heading of sections in the resume, I want the section name (in the example above – Education) to be followed by a header line filling up the rest of the line.
It would be great if someone could tell me how to do it.
Another example is included below. In this one, the text appears in the middle, surrounded by header lines on both sides.
Here is a possibility using the xkeyval package and a key-value approach:
The code (explanations below):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}
\usepackage{xkeyval}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{tikzmark,calc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\newlength\LeftSep
\newlength\RightSep
\newlength\TitleWd
\newlength\VertLineWd
\newlength\SpaceBefore
\newlength\SpaceAfter
\newlength\RuleAddition
\newcommand\SectionFont{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}
\newsavebox\TitleBox
\newcounter{tmp}
\setlength\LeftSep{\marginparsep}
\setlength\RightSep{\marginparsep}
\setlength\TitleWd{0.6666\textwidth}
\setlength\VertLineWd{1pt}
\setlength\SpaceBefore{3.5ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}
\setlength\SpaceAfter{2.3ex plus .2ex}
\setlength\RuleAddition{0pt}
\makeatletter
\define@key{fctaylor}{leftsep}{\setlength\LeftSep{#1}}
\define@key{fctaylor}{rightsep}{\setlength\RightSep{#1}}
\define@key{fctaylor}{titlewidth}{\setlength\TitleWd{#1}}
\define@key{fctaylor}{verticalrulewidth}{\setlength\VertLineWd{#1}}
\define@key{fctaylor}{spacebefore}{\setlength\SpaceBefore{#1}}
\define@key{fctaylor}{spaceafter}{\setlength\SpaceAfter{#1}}
\define@key{fctaylor}{sectionfont}{\renewcommand\SectionFont{#1}}
\define@key{fctaylor}{ruleaddition}{\setlength\RuleAddition{#1}}
\newcommand\FCsectionformat[1][]{%
\setkeys{fctaylor}{#1}
\titleformat{\section}
{\SectionFont}{}{0em}
{%
\parbox[t]{1em}{\thesection}\hspace{\LeftSep}%
\stepcounter{tmp}%
\tikz[remember picture]
\draw[overlay,line width=\VertLineWd]
([xshift=-\RightSep,yshift=\dimexpr\ht\strutbox+\RuleAddition\relax]pic cs:start-\thetmp) --
( $ ({pic cs:start-\thetmp}|-{pic cs:end-\thetmp}) + (-\RightSep,\dimexpr+\ht\strutbox-\baselineskip-\RuleAddition\relax)$ );%
\hspace{\RightSep}%
\parbox[t]{\TitleWd}{%
\SectionFont\raggedright\strut%
\tikzmark{start-\thetmp}##1\tikzmark{end-\thetmp}\strut}%
}
\titleformat{name=\section,numberless}
{\SectionFont}{}{0em}
{%
\hspace*{\dimexpr1em+\LeftSep\relax}%
\stepcounter{tmp}%
\tikz[remember picture]
\draw[overlay,line width=\VertLineWd]
([xshift=-\RightSep,yshift=\dimexpr\ht\strutbox+\RuleAddition\relax]pic cs:start-\thetmp) --
( $ ({pic cs:start-\thetmp}|-{pic cs:end-\thetmp}) + (-\RightSep,\dimexpr+\ht\strutbox-\baselineskip-\RuleAddition\relax)$ );%
\hspace{\RightSep}%
\parbox[t]{\TitleWd}{%
\SectionFont\raggedright\strut%
\tikzmark{start-\thetmp}##1\tikzmark{end-\thetmp}\strut}%
}
}
\titlespacing*{\section}
{0pt}{\SpaceBefore}{\SpaceAfter}
\titlespacing*{name=\section,numberless}
{0pt}{\SpaceBefore}{\SpaceAfter}
\makeatother
\FCsectionformat
\begin{document}
\section{This is a test numbered section with a long title}
\lipsum[4]
\section*{This is a test unnumbered section with a long title}
\lipsum[4]
\section{This is a test numbered section}
\lipsum[4]
\section*{This is a test unnumbered section}
\lipsum[4]
\FCsectionformat[
leftsep=30pt,
rightsep=20pt,
verticalrulewidth=4pt,
titlewidth=\dimexpr\textwidth-2.5em-\RightSep-\LeftSep-\VertLineWd\relax,
spacebefore=1cm,
spaceafter=0.5cm,
sectionfont=\normalfont\LARGE\itshape,
ruleaddition=10pt
]
\section{This is a test numbered section with a long title}
\lipsum[4]
\section*{This is a test unnumbered section with a long title}
\lipsum[4]
\section{This is a test numbered section}
\lipsum[4]
\section*{This is a test unnumbered section}
\lipsum[4]
\end{document}
The main command is \FCsectionformat which can be used anywhere in the document (in the preamble, or in the body of the document), as many times as desired; the command has an optional argument to change the title attributes by using a comma separated list of <key>=<value> options.
The available keys are:
leftsep=<length>, the separation between the number and the vertical rule; default: \marginparsep.
rightsep=<length>, the separation between the vertical rule and the title; default: \marginparsep.
verticalrulewidth=<length>, the thickness of the vertical rule; default: 1pt.
titlewidth=<length>, the width of the box to typeset the title; default: 0.6666\textwidth.
spacebefore=<length>, space before the title; default: 3.5ex plus 1ex minus .2ex.
spaceafter==<length>, space after the title; default: 2.3ex plus .2ex.
sectionfont=, the font specification for the title; default: \normalfont\LARGE\itshape.
ruleaddition=<length>, the additional length to be added above and below to the vertical rule; default: 0pt.
I have adapted a reply given Underlining a whole line with a short text in its beginning But there is a small limitation the Section title should be smaller than linewidth.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{calc} %% Needed for calculating remaining length.
\usepackage{lipsum}
\newlength{\remaining}
\newcommand{\titleline}[1]{%
\setlength{\remaining}{\textwidth-\widthof{\textsc{#1}}}
\noindent\underline{\textsc{#1}\hspace*{\remaining}}\par}
\begin{document}
\titleline{Section Underlined}
\lipsum
\titleline{In case if I use a bigger line as a section title this command may behave weirdly }
\end{document}
MWE would have helped better.

Here's one possibility using the
titlesecandxhfillpackages:And the other style:
If titles are long, then one can use a minipage or variable width (through the varwidth) package, to produce something like:
Something analogous can be done for the other style:
If both styles are to be applied in the same document, define commands for each style ans use them, as many times as required, to switch where needed:
Adjust the settings according to your needs. I didn't use small capitals since some fonts don't support bold-faced small caps.
