One column, ruled headings, nothing in the parser's way.

The layout to reach for when you do not know what will open the file. A single column top to bottom, section headings separated by a hairline rule, dates right-aligned against the role. It looks composed on screen and survives being read back as plain text, which is what most tracking systems actually do.
