About the Chronicle template
Chronicle hangs the whole document across a single rail set a quarter of the way in. Each section opens with a dark disc sitting on that rail holding its own icon, with the heading in the accent beside it, and every entry then puts a marker on the rail with its dates and city ranged right in the margin to the left. Skills and languages read as rows of the same table rather than headed blocks: their label goes out in that margin and the items lay out three to a row, each skill under a segmented bar.
