Three list styles:

1. chronlist, used for listing date-activity pairs

    \begin{chronlist}
        \item[DATE 1] text
        \item[DATE 2] text
        ...
    \end{chronlist}
   

2. publist for lists of publications, talks, etc. This is a wrapper for the etaremune package, which lists the item numbers in reverse order. This is a handy feature for counting numbers of publications.

    \begin{publist}
        \item REFERENCE 1
        \item REFERENCE 2
        ...
    \end{chronlist}
   

3. genericlist: unbulleted listing

    \begin{genericlist}
        \item ITEM 1
        \item ITEM 2
        ...
    \end{genericlist}
   

Two style of section headers

1. \sectionheader{TITLE}: produces the text TITLE in small caps with a light grey bar running across the page. A horizontal line is generated along the text baseline.

2. \publicationheader{CATEGORY}: produces the text CATEGORY in small caps, with no decoration. Useful for specifying categories of publications, e.g., "Refereed," "Conference Proceedings," etc.

Installation and usage

After cloning the project directory, cd into it and run the install script

$./install /path/to/texmf

Here the argument to the command is somewhere on the TEXPATH. For example, on my Mac, I do

$./install ~/Library/texmf

The install script creates in this texmf directory a subdirectory, tex/latex/vitae, that contains vitae.cls. It then builds the documentation in a subdirectory of texmf called doc/latex/vitae. Look in the documentation for an example CV.
