Rejarsume documentation
How to write, style, check and export a resume in Rejarsume, which keeps everything in your own browser.
Rejarsume is a resume builder with no account and no server. You write a resume as Markdown, see it typeset on the page as you type, and export it. Everything you write stays in your own browser.
These pages explain how it works, one task at a time. If you have never used it, start with the quick start.
