Introduction

What is the XML Résumé Library?

The XML Résumé Library is, at its heart, a DTD, a Document Type Definition. That means it is really someone's idea of how a résumé should, or at least could, be structured in XML. Beyond that, it comes with

  • Several XSLT style sheets (used to convert the XML version of a résumé to other formats such as plaintext, HTML, PDF, and if you're lucky, RTF).

  • A Java-based filter to help you target your résumé(s) toward a particular industry, employer, or job.

  • CSS stylesheets, used to control the presentation of the HTML version.

  • A helpful Makefile that you can customize for your own purposes.

Getting Started

Setting up the XML Résumé Library

Peter Hutnick

Edited by

Bruce Christensen

Mark Miller

This chapter explains how to install the XML Résumé Library, an Open Source, XML based résumé management system, on UNIX systems. It is written based on the author's experience installing on a Red Hat Linux system. Other systems may vary somewhat.

Prerequisites

Java

The resources in this document provide enough information to convert your XML résumé to HTML, PDF, and plain text. The programs to exploit these resources, however, are not included. Any capable XML parser, XSLT stylesheet processor and XSL formatting objects processor will get the job done. Many of the XML Résumé Library developers use the free tools produced by the Apache XML Project, and we recommend that you do as well. These tools include Xerces, Xalan, and FOP.

For the purposes of this document a functioning JRE (Java Runtime Environment) is a requirement. Obtaining and installing a JRE is outside the scope of this document. However, you might find Sun's J2SE web site a good starting point.

XML

A minimal understanding of XML is an asset for using the XML Résumé Library. Most users find that they can get by following the examples in the absence of XML experience.

For a more in-depth tutorial on authoring a résumé in XML, see the section called “Writing your first XML Résumé”. For a reference on XML elements available in the XML Résumé Library DTD, see Element Reference.

Getting the Software

XML Résumé Library

The XML Résumé Library is available for download at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=29512 and is linked from the main XML Résumé Library page at http://xmlresume.sourceforge.net/.

Xerces

Xerces is an XML parser, which is needed by the tools used in later steps of processing. It converts an XML document into a format that other computer programs can more easily use.

The main Xerces for Java2 page is http://xml.apache.org/xerces2-j/, with the download page at http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces2-j/.

Xalan

Xalan does the actual conversion of a résumé from XML to other formats. When combined with the XSL stylesheets provided by the XML Résumé Library, it produces directly usable HTML and plain text. It also produces an intermediate format called XSL-FO (XSL Formatting Objects) that can be converted to PDF by an FO processor.

The Xalan-Java project page is http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/, with downloads at http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-j/.

FOP

FOP is a print formatter for XSL formatting objects. It converts XSL-FO documents to PDF.

The main FOP page is http://xml.apache.org/fop/, and the download page is http://xml.apache.org/fop/download.html.

Installing and Configuring the Software

XML Résumé Library

The XML Résumé Library comes in a tarball (or zip archive aimed at Windows users) that includes:

  • The DTD

  • XSL stylesheets, for converting your XML résumé to plain text, HTML, or XSL Formatting Objects (XSL-FO). (XSL-FO can then be rendered to PDF by an FO processor like FOP.)

  • Some sample résumés in XML format

  • A Makefile, for generating résumé formats with a simple make command

  • A few CSS stylesheets that can be used to fine-tune the appearance of the HTML version of your résumé.

The most straightforward way to make use of these resources is to recursively copy the "examples" directory to where you want to work with your résumé. For instance:

[resume-1_5_1]$ cp -a examples ~/resume

The Makefile uses the filename resume.xml by default. If this is unacceptable you will need to edit the line resume = resume to match the filename you use, such as resume = myresume if your résumé is myresume.xml.

Tip

You can also indicate your résumé filename on the command line when you build your résumé, e.g.:

[resume]$ make resume=myresume

Note

The DTD and XSL files you've downloaded to your computer aren't used by default when building your résumé. Instead, the versions on the XML Résumé Library web site are used. This ensures that you're always using the most recent version; however, it also means that builds take longer (since file have to be downloaded each time you build your résumé) and that you can't build a résumé offline.

If you'd like to use your local copy of the XSL stylesheets, edit the xsl_base variable in the example Makefile to point to your local XSL directory. For example:

xsl_base = ~/resume-1_5_1/xsl

To use your local copy of the DTD, change the DOCTYPE declaration at the top of your resume to look like this:

<!DOCTYPE resume PUBLIC "-//Sean Kelly//DTD Resume 1.5.1//EN"
  "~/resume-1_5_1/dtd/resume.dtd">

Xerces, Xalan, and FOP

Each of these three packages need to be untarred and their jar files copied to your JRE's ext/ directory. This is typically /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02/jre/lib/ext/, but may vary depending on who packaged your JRE. We will simply refer to it as the ext/ directory.

Xerces consists of the jars xmlParserAPIs.jar, xercesSamples.jar, and xercesImpl.jar, which are in the top directory of the Xerces zip archive.

Xalan consists of the jars runtime.jar, xalanservlet.jar, xalansamples.jar, regexp.jar, JLex.jar, java_cup.jar, bsf.jar, xml-apis.jar, BCEL.jar, xsltc.jar, xalan.jar, and xercesImpl.jar in the bin/ directory. All of these need to be copied to the ext/ directory.

Exploring the Features of XML Résumé Library

Peter Hutnick

Bruce Christensen

This chapter provides an overview of the features and usage of the XML Résumé Library, an Open Source, XML based résumé management system, on UNIX systems.

Formatting an example resume

Converting to other formats

To get a feel for the power of the XML Résumé Library you should run the example résumés through their paces and see how they turn out after processing. You can do this by renaming the file example2.xml to resume.xml with the command mv example2.xml resume.xml. Then simply issue the command gmake while connected to the internet. This should generate the files resume.txt, resume.html, resume.fo, and resume.pdf — all versions of Alexis Kernighan's résumé.

Advanced Features of the XML Résumé Library

Filtering to target your resume

Filtering allows you to maintain a single, complete resume.xml file that represents the entirety of your career/academic record, while allowing for the simple creation of targeted résumés. In other words, you can start to think of your XML Résumé as a database of your every skill, every accomplishment, every _____ without worrying about cluttering up the résumé your employer sees. Read on to find out how.

Consider the following snippet of Jane Doe's resume:

<skillset>
            <skill>Carpentry</skill>
            <skill>Welding</skill>
            <skill>Java Programming</skill>
            <skill>XML</skill>
            <skill>C++</skill>
	    <skill>Good communicator</skill>
            <skill>Gourmet Pastry Creation</skill>
            <skill>Cooking for construction workers</skill>
          </skillset>

The problem here is that Jane needs to maintain a record of all her skills, but she doesn't need to tell a potential employer about all of those skills. Sure, Jane could selectively comment out portions of her résumé, but this can be tedious. Instead, she should use attributes to describe the categories of résumé to which a given element applies:

<skillset>
            <skill targets="construction,woodworking">Carpentry</skill>
            <skill targets="construction">Welding</skill>
            <skill targets="programming">Java Programming</skill>
            <skill targets="programming">XML</skill>
            <skill targets="programming">C++</skill>
	    <skill>Good communicator</skill>
            <skill targets="foodservice">Gourmet Pastry Creation</skill>
            <skill targets="foodservice+construction">Cooking for construction workers</skill>
          </skillset>

After defining her targets, Jane can filter her résumé to produce beautifully-formatted, well-focused résumés to send to employers. Her "construction" résumé will contain only those elements applicable to the construction industry, and the job foreman won't have to read about her vast knowledge of meringues and bundt cakes, or her experience coding up an application server in Java.

You may have noticed that some of Jane's skills apply to more than one target, or apply only when two (or more) targets are defined. By specifying a list of targets (separated by commas), Jane can ensure that her Carpentry skill will be included in both "construction" and "woodworking" résumés. Similarly, her "Cooking for construction workers" skill will apply only to résumés where both "foodservice" AND "construction" are targeted.

Elements that have no "targets" attribute are always included in the filtered output. Thus Jane's communications skills will apply to every résumé.

The "targets" attribute can be used in ANY element, but keep in mind that using targets on a high-level element (e.g., history or academics element) will affect all children of that element. Thus if the history element includes a 'targets="foo"' attribute, and "foo" is not included in the targets list during the filtering process, then the entire history section will be filtered out, even if there are subelements of history that do not have the 'targets="foo"' attribute.

Now, keep in mind that defining targets is entirely up to you. You can use the targets attribute in any element, and you can specify any number of values for the target— just keep in mind that comma (,) and plus (+) represent OR and AND, respectively, as per the example above. If the list of possible targets starts to pile up, just look at the end of a filtered resume.xml file: a list of the possible and selected targets is included for convenience.

To get a better idea of how this all works, take a look at examples/example2.xml. Trying making the complete resume (with make all resume=example2), and then the filtered version (make filter resume=example2). Then compare example2.txt with example2-filtered.txt. To create résumés targeted to other purposes, change filter_targets in Makefile.

Customizing your résumé

With just a few tweaks, you can dramatically change the look of your résumés.

Modifying the XSL Parameters

The first thing to do to customize your resume is to check out the parameters files. The main file is xsl/params.xsl, which contains general parameters that you can change. We suggest making a backup of this file by issuing the command cp params.xsl params.xsl.dist, and then playing around with the values inside params.xsl to see how they affect the formatting and output of your resumes.

Note

You will need to change xsl_base in Makefile to point to your local xsl directory before any of your changes can take effect. Otherwise, the default parameters stored on the XMLRésumé website are used instead.

Located in the xsl/paper directory are the a4.xsl and letter.xsl files. These files specify things like margin size and indent size for their respective paper formats.

The xsl/country directory contains country-specific parameter files, which contain translations for everything from "Résumé" to "Mobile Telephone". If you would prefer your résumé to be called a Curriculum Vitae, this is where to look. The files are sorted by a 2-letter country code (e.g., nl.xsl for the Netherlands). If you don't see your country there, or if there are errors/omissions in the translations, please attempt a translation and submit the changes back to the project-- while XML may work across all languages, the gentle developers of the XML Résumé Library Project do not.

Modifying the look of your HTML Résumé

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are a powerful way to format the look of your HTML Résumé. A selection of sample CSS files are provided in the css directory. If you have not already done so, try changing the value of css.href in params.xsl to a different stylesheet (you may have to adjust the location of the stylesheets). Once you find one you like, you can tweak it by editing the CSS file by hand, or create one that is entirely your own. If you think other people would find your CSS file useful, please consider submitting it back to the project.

Writing your first XML Résumé

This is the fun part. Take a look at both example résumés and choose one suits you best. Then replace the existing information with your own. You may also be able to find example résumés of real people by search for XML resume on the internet.

Overview

Element Reference


XML Résumé files are XML files composed mostly of elements. This part of the user guide documents the semantics (meaning) and syntax (structure) of all of the elements that you can use to construct a résumé.

To get started with creating a résumé, take a look Chapter 2, which is a tutorial on creating an XML résumé. Alternatively, you could examine the content model for the resume element, and drill down from there.

Description

The address element defines a single postal address. It does not contain information about a person who resides at the address.

Different countries have different address formatting conventions. Address formatting is controlled by the address.format parameter.

If an address cannot be specified using address's child elements (street, city, etc.), it may be specified in untagged format. In this case, the address will be formatted verbatim, with line breaks preserved.

Parents

address may be contained in these elements: header, referee

Attributes

id

A string used to uniquely identify an address. The address may then be referred to by this identifier.

format

The address format. This attribute specifies the format of an address, and overrides the global address.format parameter for each address that it appears in.

See Also

address.format.

Examples

Example 1. U.S.-style address

<address>
  <street>123 Pickle St.</street>
  <street>Apt. #12</street>
  <city>Sourville</city>
  <state>NX</state>
  <zip>99999-9999</zip>
</address>

Formatted as:

123 Pickle St. Apt. #12
Sourville, NX 99999-9999

Example 2. Italian address

<address>
  <street>Via Garibaldi, 23</street>
  <city>Sorrento</city>
  <postalCode>123 456</postalCode>
  <province>NA</province>
  <country>Italy</country>
</address>

Example 3. Untagged address

<address>Reina #35, apt. 4a, e/ Gervasio y Escobar
Ciudad de La Habana, CP 11900
CUBA</address>

Formatted as:

Reina #35, apt. 4a, e/ Gervasio y Escobar
Ciudad de La Habana, CP 11900
CUBA

Warning

You may have noticed that the XML for this address isn't indented as usual. This is because untagged addresses are formatted verbatim, and so any indentation would be preserved in the formatted address. The address text begins on the same line as the start tag for the same reason (we don't want a leading linebreak in the formatted address).

For additional address examples, look at the XML files in the examples/addressing directory of the XML Résumé Library distribution.

Because multiple street elements are now allowed, street2 is unneeded. street2 is still supported in this release of the XML Résumé Library, but may be removed in future versions. It is recommended that all street2 elements be converted to street elements.

The street2 element is similar in semantics to the street element. It often contains more specialized routing information than street, such as a suite or apartment number.

Appendixes

Appendix A. GNU Free Documentation License

Version 1.1, March 2000

Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

PREAMBLE

The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other written document “free” in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.

This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.

We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. The “Document”, below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as “you”.

A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.

The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License.

The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License.

A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.

Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output purposes only.

The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

VERBATIM COPYING

You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.

You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

COPYING IN QUANTITY

If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.

It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

MODIFICATIONS

You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

  1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.

  2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).

  3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.

  4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.

  5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.

  6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.

  7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.

  8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.

  9. Preserve the section entitled “History”, and its title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section entitled “History” in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.

  10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the “History” section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.

  11. In any section entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.

  12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.

  13. Delete any section entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section may not be included in the Modified Version.

  14. Do not retitle any existing section as “Endorsements” or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.

If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.

You may add a section entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.

The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

COMBINING DOCUMENTS

You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice.

The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.

In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled “History” in the various original documents, forming one section entitled “History”; likewise combine any sections entitled “Acknowledgements”, and any sections entitled “Dedications”. You must delete all sections entitled “Endorsements.”

COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.

You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the compilation. Such a compilation is called an “aggregate”, and this License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they are not themselves derivative works of the Document.

If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.

TRANSLATION

Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License provided that you also include the original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original English version of this License, the original English version will prevail.

TERMINATION

You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.

Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.

How to use this License for your documents

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page:

Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation License".

If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections" instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no Front-Cover Texts, write “no Front-Cover Texts” instead of “Front-Cover Texts being LIST”; likewise for Back-Cover Texts.

If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
