 ### `resume export [fileName]`
 
-Exports your resume in a stylized HTML or PDF format.
+Exports your resume to one of four formats:
+
+- `.html` / `.pdf` — stylized output rendered through a theme.
+- `.md` — clean Markdown (one heading per section). No theme required.
+- `.txt` — readable plain text. No theme required.
+
+The format is inferred from the file extension, or set it explicitly with
+`--format`:
+
+```
+resume export resume.md                  # Markdown (inferred)
+resume export resume.txt --format text   # plain text (explicit)
+resume export resume.html --theme even   # themed HTML
+resume export resume.pdf --theme even    # themed PDF
+```
+
+`--format` accepts `html`, `pdf`, `markdown` (or `md`) and `text` (or `txt`).
+
+The Markdown and text formats render every JSON Resume section that is present
+(basics, work, volunteer, education, awards, publications, skills, languages,
+interests, references, projects) and skip any that are missing — so no theme
+install is needed.
