How it Works

The Resume Format plugin reformats any data between [resume] and [/resume] into a semantic html table which functions as a simple resume. This style of resume is modeled after the design found in most artist’s resumes and may not work for everyone (please see below for an example).

• Every entry must be kept on it’s own line
• Te default use of this plugin reserves both *H* and | for use in processing.
• *H* will create a heading which will be marked up inside a element.
• | is used as a separator between date cell and it’s description. This will split the line into two elements.
• Only one | can be used per line.

Instructions

1. First, download, extract and upload the plugin file to your WordPress installation.
2. Next, log in to your WordPress installation and activate the plugin.
3. Navigate to the edit screen of a page or post that you would like to add a resume to.
4. Position your cursor to where you would like the resume to display in the post content box
5. Type in the following shortcode: [/gallery]. All resume content will be typed inside these tags.
6. Create your first heading like this *H* My First Heading
7. Press “Enter” or “Return” and make you first entry. A dated entry can be created by separating the date from the content with the pipe character like this 02/03/09 | "This is what happened"

Default CSS Classes

You can use the following classes to style your resume:

table.mf_resume
th.mf_resume_heading
td.mf_resume_single
td.mf_resume_data
td.mf_resume_year
