    I was on Word, then LibreOffice Writer.
    Now thinking of making it a markdown source, with CSS styling to get an HTML based PDF. This way, the same source can be used on a webpage with different generation code.

    This seems to me, to be simpler than LATEX, but still good enough for a resume.

      There is a standard called json-resume with a lot of generators for html and pdf or react-resume which is more like a CMS (not entirely sure about spelling, to lazy to search for it now)

        Interesting, but not appealing to me.
        I have already been enchanted by discount and mesmerised by kramdown.

        kramdown and discount are 2 fun little tools.

        • kramdown is more fully featured and is a Ruby Gem.
        • discount is made in C and is more suitable if you are using it in an on-the-fly render process (∵ lesser CPU cycles), but it has lesser functionality features.
