A quick test with enscript didn't yield a satisfactory result. (Line breaks got messed up).
Actually I did write my cv in xml and then used xsltproc to convert it to html. This was thought to be my first xml project, so I am not sure if I did use xml the way it was supposed to be used, or not. :) I then used html2text to convert my cv to text. Which was kind of inconsequent, as xml should support text output as well. Perhaps I should do some research to find out if xml/xsl can do rtf? After looking into an RTF file, it looks like one could even write rtf in an text editor? i.e. I should by able to write my own xsl stylesheet for rtf output? Thanks for your time.

According to probably reliable sources, the Coca-Cola people are experiencing severe marketing anxiety in China. The words "Coca-Cola" translate into Chinese as either (depending on the inflection) "wax-fattened mare" or "bite the wax tadpole". Bite the wax tadpole. There is a sort of rough justice, is there not? The trouble with this fact, as lovely as it is, is that it's hard to get a whole column out of it. I'd like to teach the world to bite a wax tadpole. Coke -- it's the real wax-fattened mare. Not bad, but broad satiric vistas do not open up. -- John Carrol, The San Francisco Chronicle
