Use EasyCV to organize structured and PDF-able CV

[syifan]

I am aware of #2883. I am trying to solve a similar problem using a different solution.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users typically need to keep a PDF version of the CV and a web version. The web version is also not very tight in format.

Describe the solution you'd like
I have developed a package called EasyCV, https://github.com/syifan/easycv. The npm package is here https://www.npmjs.com/package/easycv. The package can generate a web-based CV that:

1. Separate content from style. The content is in a YAML file.
2. Highly structured and uniform
3. Can be easily converted into a PDF-based CV.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Academic Pages can also create something similar from scratch. But it is replicating effort. I also acknowledge that my solution is a bit complicated. So let me know what you think?

Additional context
Please check here for what I have changed in cv.md. https://github.com/syifan/easycv_academicpages_example/blob/master/_pages/cv.md

Here is a preview of what it looks like.

Here is the yml file format.

If the academic pages like my solution, I am happy to prepare a PR.

I saw that you have a demo in the Academic Pages template which addresses the questions that I had regarding rendering, but what's the current install base like for EasyCV? One of the challenges with CV formatting is that I'm not really aware of a way of doing it as a template that's really caught on, so long term support for any rendering engines is a concern.

I have created the package rather recently. So, I am likely the only user of the package at the moment.

Btw personally I made a button to download my cv as a pdf:
