		hrjet on Aug 28, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Free online resume creator based on LaTeX Coincidentally I was experimenting with LaTeX for writing my resume today, so this caught my eye. In the screenshots, I see the same problem that I was facing with an [offline tool][1]: There are too many hyphens all over the place! For example in this screenshot: https://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Classic... ... you can see "Devel-oped" "function-ality" "con-version" "expo-sure" "communi-cations" Most other word processors can justify text without too much hyphenation. The TeX system seems to work differently (at least by default). [1] https://github.com/mwhite/resume

Yes. We see your point. Will see if there is an alternative for that. Not sure wether we want to do away with hyphens. They look pretty good. http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Classic.... we will get back to you on this. thanks.
