pagedown html resume with aside on first page only

[wjakethompson]

Cross posting from this Stackoverflow post which hasn't gotten any responses.

I'm attempting to make a CV using R Markdown and the {pagedown} package.

Is it possible to only include the grey aside bar on the first page?

I've tried playing with the page identifiers as described here.

@page :first {
  .aside{
    width: var(--sidebar-width);
    padding: 0.6in var(--sidebar-horizontal-padding);
    font-size: 0.8rem;
    float: right;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
  }
}

My hope was that defining the .aside inside :first would make the grey aside bar only appear on page one, but no luck. Any suggestions?

A minimal example is here: https://github.com/wjakethompson/cv-test

You are on the right track: if you want to do it like that (which is very clean, congratulations!) you have to modify all the remaining parts of the pagedown::html_resume() stylesheet; in other words, you cannot just add this declaration, this is not sufficient.

You have two options:

• write a new clean stylesheet which would implement a sidebar only on the first page
• use one of these quick and dirty hacks. They work well .

This is perfect! Thanks!
