    Textadept

    Textadept

    Fast, and remarkably extensible cross-platform text editor

    A fast, minimalist, and remarkably extensible cross-platform text editor. Textadept’s user interface is sleek and simple. Relentlessly optimized for speed and minimalism over the years, the editor consists of less than 2000 lines of C and C++ code, and less than 4000 lines of Lua code. Textadept runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. It also has a terminal version, which is ideal for work on remote machines. Textadept is an ideal editor for programmers who want endless extensibility without sacrificing speed or succumbing to code bloat and featuritis. The editor gives you complete control over the entire application using the Lua programming language. Everything from moving the caret to changing menus and key bindings on the fly to handling core events is possible. Its potential is vast.

    Pandoc Resume

    Pandoc Resume

    The Markdown Resume

    The pandoc_resume repository provides a flexible workflow for authoring a résumé or CV in Markdown and rendering it to polished outputs like PDF or HTML using Pandoc and ConTeXt. The idea is that you write a single resume.md (or equivalent Markdown) file with your content and structure, and then the build system handles conversion, styling, layout, and output generation. The project includes styles, templates, and assets (CSS, ConTeXt files, Lua filters) to shape how your résumé looks, controlling typography, sections, spacing, and visual formatting. It supports a “make all” workflow (or equivalent commands) to produce HTML and PDF in one go, so from your Markdown edits you can regenerate the outputs reliably. There is also a Docker / docker-compose setup so you can build across machines (including CI) without worrying about installing all the dependencies locally.
