+# CV
+
+The source code of my academic CV, based on Jason Blevins's [CV template].
+
+You'll need XeTeX since I'm using [fontspec][fontspec] for typesetting the
+beautiful [EB Garamond][ebgaramond] font by Georg Duffner.
+
+Use `xelatex cv.tex` to generate the PDF. Or alternatively,
+use `latexmk -pvc -xelatex cv.tex` to preview and automatically re-compile when
+saving changes.
