Overview

Handles formatting the resume using ERB templates. Create an instance of this class, then call a method named for your template. In templates_dir, if a file is named Xyz.erb, formatter.Xyz will run the resume through the template. If an argument is passed to the method, the resulting file will be copied to the file named by the argument.

formatter = Formatter.new(resume,"MyResume","/home/davec/templates")
formatter.doc("DavesResume.doc")

This will try to find /home/davec/templates/doc.erb and use it to create your resume. The resulting file would be MyResume.doc and that file would be copied to DavesResume.doc
