xmlresume2x: converts an xml resume to various output formats

Copyright (C) 2004 Thomas Leitner

= Description

The "XML Resume Library" at http://xmlresume.sourceforge.net provides a way for storing one's resume
data in a consistent way. The XML rsum can be transformed to various output formats, including
text, HTML and PDF by utilizing XSLT.

I came across the European Curriculum Vitae format at http://www.cedefop.eu.int/transparency/cv.asp
which provides a standard for CVs in Europe. Nicola Vitacolonna has used this information to provide
a LaTeX class - europecv (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/europecv.html) -
which (nearly) conforms to this standard. As the XML Rsum Library does not have a converter for
this, I wrote this program to convert an XML rsum to a LaTeX file which uses the europecv class.

During the development process I realized that it would be useful to add support for other output
formats. Therefore I changed the conversion process to use configuration files so that this program
can be used to transform a rsum to any output format.

= Dependencies

No Ruby dependencies but if you want to convert the resulting LaTeX file to a PDF file, you need to
have LaTeX and the europecv class installed.

= Installation

 $ ruby setup.rb config
 $ ruby setup.rb setup
 $ ruby setup.rb install

Or you could use Rake and substitute the above commands with this:
 $ rake install

Or you could use the RPA way:
 $ rpa install xmlresume2x

Or you could use the RubyGem way:
 $ gem install xmlresume2x

= Documentation

The documentation is located in the "doc/output" directory and has to be generated with webgen
(http://webgen.rubyforge.org) by issuing the command <code>rake doc</code>. If you do not want to do
this, you can still view the whole documentation for the latest version at
http://xmlresume2x.rubyforge.org.

= Example

Example files are provided in the "testfiles" directory.
