File Naming Conventions

All files follow these conventions:

  • Lowercase only - Use lowercase letters for all filenames
  • Underscores for spaces - Use _ to separate words (e.g., research_publications.tex)
  • Descriptive names - Filenames should clearly indicate content
  • .tex extension - All files must have the .tex extension

Adding New Content Files

  1. Create the file with a descriptive, lowercase name
  2. Add a header comment: 
    %----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%	Section Title
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3. Include in main CV file: Add \input{Common/content/filename.tex} to SMasonGarrisonCV.tex

Structure of Content Files

Most content files follow this structure:

%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%	Section Title
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{rSection}{\textrm{Section Title}}

Content goes here

\end{rSection}

For publications and presentations, use reverse-numbered lists:

\begin{rSection}{\textrm{Publications}}
\begin{etaremune}
\item Most recent publication (appears first, highest number)
\item Earlier publication
\item Oldest publication (numbered 1)
\end{etaremune}
\end{rSection}

Common Patterns

Position/Appointment Entry

{\bf Institution Name}\\
Title, Department \hfill{Start Date – End Date}

Publication Entry

\item Author(s). (Year). Title. \textit{Journal}, volume(issue), pages. \bluelink{url}{doi:...}

Education Entry

{\bf University Name}\\
Degree \hfill{Date}\\
\hspace*{\pindent}Additional details or subtitle

Best Practices

  1. Keep entries current - Update regularly with new content
  2. Maintain reverse chronological order - Most recent items first
  3. Use consistent formatting - Follow patterns from existing files
  4. Include comments - Add explanatory comments for complex sections
  5. Test after changes - Verify the CV compiles successfully

Unused Sections

Some files may contain content wrapped in \begin{comment}...\end{comment} blocks. This allows you to:

  • Temporarily hide content without deleting it
  • Keep notes for future additions
  • Maintain historical information

To re-enable commented content, remove the \begin{comment} and \end{comment} tags.
