Custom CSS

For styling beyond Tailwind utility classes and style options, you can write custom CSS directly.

Inline Style Block

Add a <style> tag in your Markdown for customizations without needing a separate file.

# Jane Doe

<!-- ... -->

<style>
	h2 {
		letter-spacing: 0.05em;
	}
	section[data-section='skills'] dl {
		grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
	}
</style>

Inline styles are applied alongside the default styles, they don't replace them.

Custom CSS File

Your CSS cascades on top of the default stylesheet, so you only write overrides:

/* my-styles.css */
:root {
	--font-family: 'Inter', sans-serif;
	--section-title-color: #2563eb;
	--section-title-border: 2px solid var(--section-title-color);
	--header-align: left;
}

h2 {
	letter-spacing: 0.05em;
}

Reference it in frontmatter or on the CLI:

---
css: my-styles.css
---

resumx resume.md --css my-styles.css

You can pass multiple CSS files as an array. They are combined in order, later files take precedence:

css: [base-company.css, role-specific.css]

Bundled Common Modules

If you need to build a stylesheet from scratch, your CSS file can @import any of the bundled common modules. They resolve automatically regardless of where your CSS file lives.

Module	Purpose
common/base.css	Reset, typography, spacing, page layout
common/icons.css	Icon sizing and alignment
common/utilities.css	Utility classes (.small-caps, .sr-only, .max-N)
