Page breaks within moderncv












15















I'm typesetting a document with lengthy itemize lists and in most cases LaTeX leaves lots of empty space before the environment in order to get it entirely on one page.



How can I encourage LaTeX to put page breaks within lists?



Update: I found that it works just fine when used not within cventry command.



Is there anyway to fix cventry definition in order to avoid non-breaking behavior?



From moderncvstylebanking.sty:



renewcommand*{cventry}[7][.25em]{
begin{tabular*}{textwidth}{l@{extracolsep{fill}}r}%
{bfseries #4} & {bfseries #5} \%
{itshape #3ifthenelse{equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}} & {itshape #2}\%
end{tabular*}%
ifx&#7&%
else{\vbox{small#7}}fi%
paraddvspace{#1}}


Examples: Originally I've used cventry in the following way:



cventry{March 2009--April 2011}{Software Developer}{Company}{City}{}{
begin{itemize}
item Item 1;
% Lots of items here
item Item n.
end{itemize}
}


Probably I'm just misusing cventry because using the following makes it just fine:



cventry{March 2009--April 2011}{Software Developer}{Company}{City}{}{}
begin{itemize}
item Item 1;
% Lots of items here
item Item n.
end{itemize}

    LaTeX puts @itempenalty between items but this is already negative (in article class at least) indicating that this is a good place to break. Is something else samepage for example setting this penalty (samepage sets it to the maximum penalty possible.) A MWE would help...

  • Your concern is just before itemize? This can be controlled via enumitem's topsep key-value.

  • @David Carlisle, I'm using moderncv class, but as far as I can see it also have negative @itempenalty.

    Setting content in a box (like tabular), as is the case with cventry, keeps things together and doesn't allow breaking across the page boundary. Would you be able to supply a minimal example that highlights your use of cventry?

I believe you answered your question yourself Regent :)



In regular circumstances, you do not want the explanation / itemization that goes with a cv entry to be broken up across page. It makes reading your resume and understanding your career achievements harder, which should be avoided at all costs. So in most cases, you simply put your itemize environment inside the last argument of cventry



For special cases where you explicitly do want to split the explanation / itemize over 2 pages, you put it after the cventry command.

Finally, note that in these special cases and when using the classic or casual styles, you will have to do the left padding yourself. An (ugly) way around this is to manually break your input over 2 cventry or cvitem.

I just discovered this problem today and ended up implementing a custom version of the cventry command (dubbed cventrylong) along with a customized itemize list environment cvitemize (via enumitem package):



% customize the enumerate environments (i.e. enumerate, itemize, ...)
usepackage{enumitem}
setlist{nolistsep}

% A custom version of the cventry command that supports large itemized lists
% inside argument #7 (the custom cvitemize lists should be used!)
newcommand*{cventrylong}[7][.25em]{%
begin{tabular}{@{}p{hintscolumnwidth}@{hspace{separatorcolumnwidth}}p{maincolumnwidth}@{}}%
raggedlefthintstyle{#2} &{%
{bfseries#3}%
ifthenelse{equal{#4}{}}{}{, {slshape#4}}%
ifthenelse{equal{#5}{}}{}{, #5}%
ifthenelse{equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}%
}%
end{tabular}%
{small#7}%
paraddvspace{#1}}
% A custom version of the itemize environment that sets the appropriate left
% margin for use inside cventylong
newlist{cvitemize}{itemize}{1}
setlist[cvitemize]{label=labelitemi,%
leftmargin=hintscolumnwidth+separatorcolumnwidth+labelwidth+labelsep}


Using a trimmed version of template.tex provided by the moderncv package, I can demonstrate the results:

  • @tjanez, your solution seems good, but it compromises the aligniment of the arguments befor the 7th (look at you screenshots). Anyway I'm interested in this solution, so could you tell me how to fix this problem?

Many document classes (notably, the standard classes article, book, and report, the KOMA-Script classes, memoir, and the AMS classes) include the code lines



@lowpenalty=51


and



@itempenalty=-@lowpenalty


i.e., they set @itempenalty to -51 and hereby encourage page breaks between list items. The moderncv class, however, only includes the second code line, i.e., the class sets @itempenalty implicitly to 0. I don't know if this was done on purpose or should be considered a bug. However, try to add the following to your document preamble (EDIT: stupid mistake corrected):



makeatletter
@itempenalty=-51
makeatother

  • Unfortunately manual setting of @lowpenalty made no difference.

  • I think it might be a problem with the way cventry is defined, because it brake the page well when it was used not within eventry...

I just discovered this problem today and ended up implementing a custom version of the cventry command (dubbed cventrylong) along with a customized itemize list environment cvitemize (via enumitem package):



% customize the enumerate environments (i.e. enumerate, itemize, ...)
usepackage{enumitem}
setlist{nolistsep}

% A custom version of the cventry command that supports large itemized lists
% inside argument #7 (the custom cvitemize lists should be used!)
newcommand*{cventrylong}[7][.25em]{%
begin{tabular}{@{}p{hintscolumnwidth}@{hspace{separatorcolumnwidth}}p{maincolumnwidth}@{}}%
raggedlefthintstyle{#2} &{%
{bfseries#3}%
ifthenelse{equal{#4}{}}{}{, {slshape#4}}%
ifthenelse{equal{#5}{}}{}{, #5}%
ifthenelse{equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}%
}%
end{tabular}%
{small#7}%
paraddvspace{#1}}
% A custom version of the itemize environment that sets the appropriate left
% margin for use inside cventylong
newlist{cvitemize}{itemize}{1}
setlist[cvitemize]{label=labelitemi,%
leftmargin=hintscolumnwidth+separatorcolumnwidth+labelwidth+labelsep}

  • This appears to be a great solution for normal cventries, but doesn't help much in this case: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/181223/…

  • @tjanez I'm having a similar problem. I also have a section with long texts, not necessarily because of many list items. Half of my first page is blank as your results show before change. How can I get rid of the blank?

  • @tjanez, your solution seems good, but it compromises the aligniment of the arguments befor the 7th (look at you screenshots). Anyway I'm interested in this solution, so could you tell me how to fix this problem?

  • Is it possible to do without using itemize? If yes, then it answers my question here.

Many document classes (notably, the standard classes article, book, and report, the KOMA-Script classes, memoir, and the AMS classes) include the code lines



@lowpenalty=51


and



@itempenalty=-@lowpenalty


i.e., they set @itempenalty to -51 and hereby encourage page breaks between list items. The moderncv class, however, only includes the second code line, i.e., the class sets @itempenalty implicitly to 0. I don't know if this was done on purpose or should be considered a bug. However, try to add the following to your document preamble (EDIT: stupid mistake corrected):



makeatletter
@itempenalty=-51
makeatother
