primarily todo with sisu documentation, changelog reproduced below:

* start documenting sisu using sisu
  * sisu markup source files in
    data/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/sisu_manual/
    /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/sisu_manual/
  * default output [sisu -3] in
    data/doc/manuals_generated/sisu_manual/
    /usr/share/doc/manuals_generated/sisu_manual/
    (adds substantially to the size of sisu package!)

* help related edits

* manpage, work on ability to generate manpages, improved

* param, exclude footnote mark count when occurs within code block

* plaintext changes made

* shared_txt, line wrap visited

* file:// link option introduced (in addition to existing https?:// and

  hub]

* minor adjustments
  * html url match refinement
  * css added tiny_center

* plaintext
  * endnotes fix
  * footnote adjustment to make more easily distinguishable from substantive
    text
  * flag -a only [flags -A -e -E dropped]

    which need likewise to have any homepage entry renamed
  * added link to sisu_manual in homepage

* css the css for the default homepage is renamed homepage.css (instead of
  index.css) [consider removing this and relying on html.css]

* ruby version < ruby1.9

    broken in ruby 1.9.0 (2007-09-10 patchlevel 0) [i486-linux],

+SISU - SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING [0.58],
+RALPH AMISSAH
+*************************************************
+
+SISU SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING
+========================
+
+1. EDITOR FILES, SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING
+------------------------------------
+
+The directory:
+
+
+  ./data/sisu/conf/editor-syntax-etc/
+
+
+  /usr/share/sisu/conf/editor-syntax-etc
+
+
+contains rudimentary sisu syntax highlighting files for:
+
+
+* (g)vim <http://www.vim.org>
+
+
+  package: sisu-vim
+
+
+status: largely done
+
+
+  there is a vim syntax highlighting and folds component
+
+
+* gedit <http://www.gnome.org/projects/gedit>
+
+
+* gobby <http://gobby.0x539.de/>
+
+
+  file: sisu.lang
+
+
+place in:
+
+
+  /usr/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs
+
+
+or
+
+
+  ~/.gnome2/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs
+
+
+  status: very basic syntax highlighting
+
+
+  comments: this editor features display line wrap and is used by Goby!
+
+
+* nano <http://www.nano-editor.org>
+
+
+  file: nanorc
+
+
+save as:
+
+
+  ~/.nanorc
+
+
+  status: basic syntax highlighting
+
+
+  comments: assumes dark background; no display line-wrap; does line breaks
+
+
+* diakonos (an editor written in ruby) <http://purepistos.net/diakonos>
+
+
+file: diakonos.conf
+
+
+save as:
+
+
+  ~/.diakonos/diakonos.conf
+
+
+includes:
+
+
+  status: basic syntax highlighting
+
+
+comments: assumes dark background; no display line-wrap
+
+
+* kate & kwrite <http://kate.kde.org>
+
+
+  file: sisu.xml
+
+
+  place in:
+
+
+    /usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax
+
+
+  or
+
+
+    ~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax
+
+
+  [settings::configure kate::{highlighting,filetypes}]
+
+
+  [tools::highlighting::{markup,scripts}::*SiSU*]
+
+
+* nedit <http://www.nedit.org>
+
+
+  file: sisu_nedit.pats
+
+
+  nedit -import sisu_nedit.pats
+
+
+  status: a very clumsy first attempt [not really done]
+
+
+  comments: this editor features display line wrap
+
+
+* emacs <http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html>
+
+
+  files: sisu-mode.el
+
+
+  to file ~/.emacs add the following 2 lines:
+
+
+    (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/sisu-examples/config/syntax_hi")
+
+
+    (require 'sisu-mode.el)
+
+
+  [not done / not yet included]
+
+
+* vim & gvim <http://www.vim.org>
+
+
+  files:
+
+
+  package is the most comprehensive sisu syntax highlighting and editor
+  environment provided to date (is for vim/ gvim, and is separate from the
+  contents of this directory)
+
+
+  status: this includes: syntax highlighting; vim folds; some error checking
+
+
+  comments: this editor features display line wrap
+
+
+NOTE:
+
+
+[*SiSU* parses files with long lines or line breaks, but, display linewrap
+(without line-breaks) is a convenient editor feature to have for sisu markup]
