Justify Text and make Line Breaks

Post by thorpn »

I am writing my CV and application and I need the last section in the included document to look as nice as the other sections, basically it needs to be justified and the when the line endings should look nicer. But I don't know how to :( oddly enough the rest seems fine :geek:

Hi,

just remove the flushleft environment in the last section.

Justify Text and make Line Breaks

In general a CV with the res class looks very odd in my eyes. So let me refer you to the blog of one of our fellow members [1-4]. I'm sure you will find some inspiration there. And it should not be too hard to migrate the template from LuaLaTeX to PDFLaTeX.

Thanks Sefan, i had forgotten it was there. But what i really want is the last section to be on the next page, and using \newpage seems to make it so that i have the same problem. Even without the flushleft :(

any ideas ?

Thank you for the links but i like the general feel of it(my current layout) :) also it is a lot to read and do when i really want it done today (sorry!!) :)

\newpage keeps the full justification. Perhaps check again, with \newpage but without the flushleft environment, or post the example again if it doesn't work.
