The HR-XML Resume specification is very limited in terms of describing a position. It offers only a single element called Description. To expand the capabilities of HR-XML Resume, HR-XSL handles this element in a special way: If the text is all on a single line, it is rendered as a simple paragraph; otherwise, each line is rendered as a bullet point (as in the example above).
Normally, HR-XSL generates a work history in the order that each position appears in the XML file. You can alter this behavior so that HR-XSL groups the positions into categorizes. In other words, you can choose between a chronological or a functional employment history. To create a functional history, simply specify a category in the OrgIndustry/IndustryDescription element of each PositionHistory element. (Note that all of the positions must specify this element.) Refer to the examples/cv/cv.xml file for an example.
The HR-XML website has more documentation.
