Page breaks within moderncv
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&%
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

for example setting this penalty (samepage
sets it to the maximum penalty possible.) A MWE would help...

Setting content in a box (liketabular

, 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 ofcventry

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
.

@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?
– sinoTrinity

@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
Unfortunately manual setting of@lowpenalty
made no difference.

I think it might be a problem with the waycventry
is defined, because it brake the page well when it was used not withineventry

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
Unfortunately manual setting of@lowpenalty
made no difference.

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 elsesamepage
for example setting this penalty (samepage
sets it to the maximum penalty possible.) A MWE would help...– David Carlisle

Your concern is just before
itemize
? This can be controlled viaenumitem
'stopsep
key-value.– Werner
Feb 28 '12 at 17:30
@David Carlisle, I'm using
moderncv
class, but as far as I can see it also have negative@itempenalty
.– Regent
Feb 28 '12 at 17:42
@Werner, I would say I concerned about not breaking the page within
itemize
in general.– Regent

Setting content in a box (like
tabular
), as is the case withcventry
, 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 ofcventry
?– Werner
