resume.cls

% resume.cls
%
% This file provides the styling for the resume as a whole and defines various
% environments and commands needed to use the formatting provided.
% 
% As of current, this document class is not very configurable as I have no need.
% That may change in the future.
%
% For reference, commands are exported to set author/header information:
% 	\Author
%	\Subtitle
%	\Loc(ation)
%	\Phone
%	\Email
%
% and provides the following environments for use:
% General Sections:
%	Education
%	Coursework (a 2 column tabluarx table; & goes to the second column)
%	Skills 	 (See Coursework)
%	Experience
%	Projects
%	Activities
% 
% Other environments:
%	EdEntry  (a single entry for the education section; requires the title, start and end dates)
%	TitleDescription (a "single title" description environment)
% 	ExpEntry (similar to EdEntry but intended for long-form sub-items)
%

	\flushleft             % ensures tables work by forcing alignment

{                           %
	\section*{Experience}   %
	\flushleft              %

% TitleDescription - a "single title" description
% Takes in a title to wrap in square quotes on the first call to \item,
% rebinding \item to work transparently with this as if there was genuinely a title
%
% Arguments: {Description Title}

%EdEntry - Formats a single "school"
%
% Arguments: {School Name}
%			 {Starting Month + Year}

%
% Uses \item for each line of description regarding the school.
% 
% NOTE: Due to tabularx, this doesn't seem like it can be nested in further \newenvironment commands
%       Furthermore, environments can't span table cells so we have one table per entry
