1.1 Summary

SiSU source documents are plaintext (UTF-8)  2  files

All paragraphs are separated by an empty line.

Markup is comprised of:

  • at the top of a document, the document header made up of semantic meta-data about the document and if desired additional processing instructions (such an instruction to automatically number headings from a particular level down)
  • followed by the prepared substantive text of which the most important single characteristic is the markup of different heading levels, which define the primary outline of the document structure. Markup of substantive text includes:
  • heading levels defines document structure
  • text basic attributes, italics, bold etc.
  • grouped text (objects), which are to be treated differently, such as code blocks or poems.
  • footnotes/endnotes
  • linked text and images
  • paragraph actions, such as indent, bulleted, numbered-lists, etc.
  • Some interactive help on markup is available, by typing sisu and selecting markup or sisu --help markup

    To check the markup in a file:

    sisu --identify [filename].sst

    For brief descriptive summary of markup history

    sisu --query-history

    or if for a particular version:

    sisu --query-0.38

    1.2 Markup Examples

    1.2.1 Online

    Online markup examples are available together with the respective outputs produced from <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html> or from <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_examples/>

    There is of course this document, which provides a cursory overview of sisu markup and the respective output produced: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup/>

    Some example marked up files are available as html with syntax highlighting for viewing: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax>

    an alternative presentation of markup syntax: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/on_markup.txt>

    1.2.2 Installed

    With SiSU installed sample skins may be found in: /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg (or equivalent directory) and if sisu-markup-samples is installed also under: /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/non-free


     1. From sometime after SiSU 0.58 it should be possible to describe SiSU markup using SiSU, which though not an original design goal is useful.

     2. files should be prepared using UTF-8 character encoding
