I am using a resume template, which uses cvitems
and cvsection
, which I believe is ModernCV.
I am struggling to increase size of my items.
This is the main file:
\documentclass[20pt, letterpaper]{awesome-cv}
....
\input{cv-sections/projects.tex}
Then projects.tex
\cvsection{Projects}
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
% SECTION CONTENT
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{cventries}
%------------------------------------------------
\cventry
{Quizzer is an \textbf{Android/web app} allowing teachers to ask questions and students answer in real time} % Job title
{Quizzer (Java, Node.js, Socket.io, MongoDB, Chart.js, jQuery, HTML/CSS)} % Organization
{} % Location
{January 2017 - May 2017} % Date(s)
{ % Description(s) of tasks/responsibilities
\begin{cvitems}
\item {Managed live socket connections and HTTP requests in Node.js simultaneously}
\item {Utilized custom middleware to provide secure access to user data via JSON tokens}
\item {Combined Java's Volley and Socket.io to push new data during real-time sessions}
\item{\textbf{Key Features:} Real-time distribution graph, point calculation system, absence management system, anti- cheating system, student performance statistics, archived questions directory}
\end{cvitems}
}
Even though I change the documentclass
size, the overall size of the cvitems does not change. What can I do?
Best Answer
awesome-cv.cls
inherits all the options fromarticle.cls
. If you look into the source you will find:The standard
article
class only supports the sizes10pt
,11pt
, and12pt
. If you had taken a look into your log-file you would have spottedThere is nothing you can do about that. The only way would be to change
article
in the above snippet toextarticle
where the available sizes are8pt
,9pt
,10pt
,11pt
,12pt
,14pt
,17pt
, and20pt
. However, this is not a good idea either because the sizes of all the structural elements are hardcoded inawesome-cv.cls
in units ofpt
rather than adaptive units likeex
orem
.
