%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% You can have multiple style options the legal options ones are:
%
% centered the name and address are centered at the top of the
% page (default)
%
% line the name is the left with a horizontal line then
% the address to the right
%
% overlapped the section titles overlap the body text (default)
%
% margin the section titles are to the left of the body text
%
% 11pt use 11 point fonts instead of 10 point fonts
%
% 12pt use 12 point fonts instead of 10 point fonts
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Commands
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \Resume prints the word resume but typeset nicely
%
% \newsectionwidth{dimen}
% defines the amount of space the labels extend
% into the left margin.
% DO NOT TRY to change any of the dimensions
% yourself. You will probably confuse the style file.
%
% \name{text} defines your name
%
% \address{text}
% defines your address
% this can be called twice if you have two addresses
% use \\'s to indicate where either line breaks or
% comas should go
%
% \opening this prints your name and address at that spot
% this is not normally needed, as \begin{resume}
% does this but is provided just in case you need
% to do something odd
%
% \begin{resume} ... \end{resume}
% all of the resume should go inside of this
% environment
%
% \section{text}
% This prints 'text' in the left hand margin.
% Its exact placement depends on what the style
% options has been set to. (overlapped or margin)
% You should use \\ to start a new line. If the
% style option is margin, the \\ is converted
% to a space.
% To use this in any of the list environments, put
% the \section after the \item[] but before the
% text.
% Eg.
% \begin{itemize}
% \item\section{text}
% text
% \end{itemize}
%
% \begin{ncolumn}{n} ... \end{ncolumn}
% creates a tabular environment with n equally
% spaced columns. Separate columns by & and
% end them with \\
%
% \begin{position} ... \end{position}
% this is used to print a job description. There should
% be only one job description in it. Information
% related to the job (such as title, dates...) will
% be printed.
%
% \begin{format} ... \end{format}
% used to change the default format for the position
% environment. Within it the recognized commands are:
% \title{option}
% \employer{option}
% \location{option}
% \dates{option}
% \body
% \\
% where option is one of l,r,c standing for left, right, center.
% The format will eventually be used to make several
% tabular environments and you are defining the number of columns
% and the placement of text within the columns of the tabulars.
% Each row is terminated by a \\. Any number of options can
% be on a line, they will each be set in their own columns.
% Any of the options except \body may be left out.
%
% Eg.
% \begin{format}
% \title{l}\employer{r}\\
% \dates{r}\\
% \body\\
% \location{l}\\
% \end{format}
%
% In this example the title and employer information
% are set in 2 columns left justified and right justified
% respectively. Then the date is set right justified.
% Then the body is set. Then the location is set left
% justified.
%
% \employer{text}
% \title{text}
% \dates{text}
% \location{text}
% declare text for the next invocation of the position
% environment
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Glue
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% sectionskip the amount of horizontal before a section
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Dimensions
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% sectionwidth the amount that the section titles go in the
% left margin
%
% resumewidth the width of the total resume from the left
% margin to the right. Don't use textwidth
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Definitions
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% sectionfont the font used to print section titles
% use \renewcommand to change it
%
% namefont the font used to print your name
% use \renewcommand to change it
%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% THINGS TO DO
%
% add lm,rm options to format style to allow things to be placed
% in the left or right margin respectivly
%
% add capability so that \body doesn't have to be proceeded (followed)
% by a \\ allowing part of the description (eg. location) to be the
% first (last) thing of the body
%
% clean up the list building procedures
%
% write docs to tell people how to use this

% probably not do what you want.

% this macro may be called in a tabular. Special code must be written
% to accomodate this. In LaTeX, a tabular is made out of hboxes.
% TeX never goes into horizontal mode because of this; it only
% gets into vertical mode and restricted horizontal mode. Certain
% indenting problems must be handled because of this. They
% are delt with at the end of this routine.
% It is also necessary to close the hbox that was created before
% the \section and create a new one when this macro has ended.
% This macro therefore simulates a \kill, so that any text before
% the \section not be printed. The proper use is therefore
% ...

% The following hbox will be contributed to the page list without going
