I asked this:

How can I generate an elegant (academic) static CV web page?

which got a couple of answers, including a very relevant one. The question was closed as a "shopping question", but the very Meta answer explaining what inappropriate shopping questions are says that "seek help choosing, finding or assessing ... a software solution" is not inappropriate shopping.

So should my question really have been closed?

    Looks like this got 3 close votes for "shopping question" and 2 for "opinion-based." As you say, software recommendations when related to academia are allowed per this policy. Personally, I would vote to reopen if I could do so without hammering it, but curious to see why others feel differently.

    I’ve cast the last reopen vote. Unfortunately, it seems that the policy on software is frequently missed by close-voters.

Thanks for posting. Software recommendations are indeed on-topic, and the community has correctly voted to reopen.
