Several key pieces of functionality (i.e. various input formats) haven't been tested. This should be done.

This should just require specifying a font differently, I think. Either way, right now unicode characters (a) require specification of xelatex to render (which is fine) and (b) render as empty characters. Ideally this would not happen. Pandoc should be able to handle this, though - maybe look at the default Pandoc LaTeX template and see how it works for fonts.

Publications and presentations should be able to be automatically extracted from Bibtex files. This will make updating/making a CV much easier. Add this.

GHC 8.0 supports the DuplicateRecordFields extension, which should be usable to make field names in the CV spec much cleaner (e.g. we can have multiple "name" fields instead of "courseName", "awardName", etc.)

We're in need of nice templates for everything but LaTeX output. This shouldn't be hard to do - mostly a matter of copying the Pandoc template language bits over from default.tex and putting things in the correct language (plus maybe adding some CSS for the HTML output).
