For various reasons, I need to maintain a CV, and, moreover, several different versions of it to meet different requirements.
At the moment, it's written in Markdown, maintained in a Git repository, and uses Pandoc for conversion to various file formats (e.g., PDF via LaTeX, HTML, Microsoft Word/OOXML, etc.).
Unfortunately Pandoc's Markdown does not support conditional inclusion/exclusion of parts of the document (e.g., a switch or if/then/else construct). I'm faced with the prospect of maintaining several different files, and of manually migrating changes between them - a good recipe for mistakes.
I personally use Sphinx for the same purpose. As in the tool that is often used for Python documentation. Similar, but uses restructured text, not markdown. It does have native support for conditional text however, whichout needing a preprocessor. http://sublime-and-sphinx-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/conditions.html Having said that, I have never actually used this feature. -- Brian May <brian@linuxpenguins.xyz> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/
