For those interested in how I created this résumé with XML I have here the source of my English résumé and the XSL style-sheet that goes with it.  The XML is like a database containing the information in my résumé and the XSL is like a program which formats it.

In the XML I specify dates in a special format with a "year" part and a "month" part.  If the month is "summer" then it displays that I worked during the summers of the years.  The XSL can automatically calculate the time span between when I started working and when I finished working.  I even format it in a nice way so you will see "almost 2 years" instead of "1 year and 11 months".

Another feature I added was a "years" tag where I can specify how many years I've been doing something.  If I specify <years>+2</years> I will get "more than two years". Even more interesing is if I specify <years>-1995</years> I will get "less than 5 years" if I print in the year 2000 and "less than 6 years" if I print in 2001.  In this way my résumé automatically stays up-to-date.

At first I tried combining the English and Portuguese versions into one XML document but it made the XSL very complicated and so kept them separate.  For most people they would have their résumé in only one language so it makes more sense to do it that way.
