Markdown Templates

Markdown Templates

A good markdown template is a head start, not a straitjacket. Each of the five markdown templates on this page is a complete, pre-filled document — open one and the editor loads real sample content with bracketed placeholders like [Your Name] marking exactly where your text goes. The cursor lands on the first placeholder automatically, so you can start typing over it the moment the template loads.

Every markdown template also arrives with a recommended theme already applied, because structure and styling were chosen together: the invoice template pairs with an invoice layout that right-aligns totals, the resume template with a resume theme built for a single page. If you prefer another look, switch themes afterwards — once you have picked a theme yourself, loading another template will not override your choice.

Resume and CV Templates

The resume markdown template fits a career on one page: name and contact line at the top, then experience with bullet points, skills, and education. It is the right choice for most job applications, where a recruiter scans for thirty seconds and needs the highlights in a fixed order. Pair it with Resume Modern for whitespace, or Resume Compact when your content runs long.

Invoice Template

The invoice markdown template turns a service list into a billable document: your company name at the top, invoice number and date, then a table of line items — description, quantity, rate and amount — followed by subtotal, tax and a bold total. Because the amounts live in a Markdown table, the numeric columns stay right-aligned in the exported PDF, so figures line up the way accounting expects.

This markdown template is built for freelancers and small teams who bill a handful of times a month and do not want invoicing software for it. Fill in the placeholders, adjust the tax rate, export the PDF, and attach it to an email — the whole pass takes about a minute once your details are in.

Report Template

The report markdown template follows the structure weeklies and status updates actually use: a summary paragraph up front for the reader who only has a minute, a metrics table with this week, last week and the change, then a next-steps list so the report ends on what happens rather than what happened.

Two themes pair well with this markdown template depending on the audience. Report Corporate gives a management-facing document the cover presence and numbered-section feel of a business report, while Report Technical keeps wide code blocks unbroken for engineering readers. Either way the skeleton stays the same — summary, numbers, next steps — so a team that adopts it produces comparable reports week after week.

Meeting Notes Template

The meeting notes markdown template captures a meeting while it is still fresh: date and attendees at the top, a decisions list for what was agreed, and action items written as Markdown task-list checkboxes. Those checkboxes render as real tick boxes in the exported PDF, so the printed notes double as a to-do sheet people can mark up in the meeting room.

Because the file is plain text, it version-controls well — keep the filled notes in the same repository as the project they concern, and the history of every decision stays diffable.
