Emacs has support for working in LaTex, Texinfo, XML/Docbook, HTML, SGML, etc. There are also many useful modes that can take basic ascii or various 'mark down' type formatting as input to produce various outputs. For example, muse (wiki like mark down), org mode, bhl mode etc, that can export data in various formats including HTML, PDF, PS, LatEx, info etc. I have done a lot of text processing type work with emacs using Auctex and various LaTeX modes. The comprehensive tex archive network (CTAN) has lots of latex packages/modes/styles for doing many different types of documents, including writing a CV. I personally find LatEx and auctex mode a very powerful text processing framework that allows me to produce output in various different formats and would recommend using it.
