A simple resume theme for Hugo

Overview:

Researcher is a simple monospaced resume theme for Hugo. It is a port from the Jekyll theme “ankitsultana/researcher.”

Features:

  • Monospaced resume theme
  • Ported from Jekyll theme “ankitsultana/researcher”
  • Supports KaTeX for math typesetting
  • Includes a self-explanatory configuration file
  • Utilizes Sass for generating CSS files
  • Compatible with extended Hugo versions
  • Licensed under GPL-3.0

Installation:

To install the Researcher theme, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you have the extended version of Hugo installed.
  2. Add the theme to your site’s themes directory.
  3. Update the theme option in your site’s config.toml file.

Here is an example of how to update the theme option in config.toml:

theme = "researcher"

Additionally, if you want to enable KaTeX (math typesetting), you can do so by including math: true in your content files. If you want to enable it globally for your project, set math to true in your project config.

Hugo introduces tags when it encounters newlines, which can break KaTeX block environments. The Researcher theme provides a math shortcode to circumvent this issue.

For more details on KaTeX and how to use the math shortcode, refer to the following issue: [link to issue]

Summary:

Researcher is a clean and minimalistic resume theme for Hugo, originally ported from the Jekyll theme “ankitsultana/researcher.” It offers monospaced formatting and supports KaTeX for math typesetting. With an intuitive configuration file and compatibility with extended Hugo versions, Researcher is a convenient choice for creating professional resumes.
