You just want/need a way to keep your CV in a source code format. Why not TeX/LaTeX?

LaTeX requires retaining a large installation. Python and a web browser are usually always there. Also here resume exists in a structured form. Recently posted[0] RenderCV[1] does something similar but outputting to TeX instead. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40472994 [1]: https://github.com/sinaatalay/rendercv
Python is only there if you are on an Unix machine. If you are on Windows, that is not true. And if you are on Unix, then getting LaTeX is just a rpm/apt/homebrew command away.
It's not like it's saving me from having to learn something. If I have to deal with a new DSL that does not give any real advantage over a generic tool, what is the point?
It would be helpful to have an image of what the resume looks like when generated.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'll give it a shot! Thanks OP!
