+1. INTRODUCTION \- WHAT IS SISU?
+.BR
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+is a framework for document structuring, publishing (in multiple open
+standard formats) and search, comprising of: (a) a lightweight document
+structure and presentation markup syntax; and (b) an accompanying engine for
+generating standard document format outputs from documents prepared in sisu
+markup syntax, which is able to produce multiple standard outputs (including
+the population of sql databases) that (can) share a common numbering system for
+the citation of text within a document.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+is developed under an open source, software libre license (GPL3). Its use
+case for development is work with medium to large document sets and cope with
+evolving document formats/ representation technologies. Documents are prepared
+once, and generated as need be to update the technical presentation or add
+additional output formats. Various output formats (including search related
+output) share a common mechanism for cross\-output\-format citation.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+both defines a markup syntax and provides an engine that produces open
+standards format outputs from documents prepared with
+.B SiSU
+markup. From a single lightly prepared document sisu custom builds several
+standard output formats which share a common (text object) numbering system for
+citation of content within a document (that also has implications for search).
+The sisu engine works with an abstraction of the document's structure and
+content from which it is possible to generate different forms of representation
+of the document. Significantly
+.B SiSU
+markup is more sparse than html and outputs which include html, EPUB, LaTeX,
+landscape and portrait pdfs, Open Document Format (ODF), all of which can be
+added to and updated.
+.B SiSU
+is also able to populate SQL type databases at an object level, which means
+that searches can be made with that degree of granularity.
+
+.BR
+Source document preparation and output generation is a two step process: (i)
+document source is prepared, that is, marked up in sisu markup syntax and (ii)
+the desired output subsequently generated by running the sisu engine against
+document source. Output representations if updated (in the sisu engine) can be
+generated by re\-running the engine against the prepared source. Using
+.B SiSU
+markup applied to a document,
+.B SiSU
+custom builds (to take advantage of the strengths of different ways of
+representing documents) various standard open output formats including plain
+text, HTML, XHTML, XML, EPUB, OpenDocument, LaTeX or PDF files, and populate an
+SQL database with objects[^1] (equating generally to paragraph\-sized chunks)
+so searches may be performed and matches returned with that degree of
+granularity ( e.g. your search criteria is met by these documents and at these
+locations within each document). Document output formats share a common object
+numbering system for locating content. This is particularly suitable for
+"published" works (finalized texts as opposed to works that are frequently
+changed or updated) for which it provides a fixed means of reference of
+content.
+
+.BR
+In preparing a
+.B SiSU
+document you optionally provide semantic information related to the document
+in a document header, and in marking up the substantive text provide
+information on the structure of the document, primarily indicating heading
+levels and footnotes. You also provide information on basic text attributes
+where used. The rest is automatic, sisu from this information custom builds[^2]
+the different forms of output requested.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+works with an abstraction of the document based on its structure which is
+comprised of its headings[^3] and objects[^4], which enables
+.B SiSU
+to represent the document in many different ways, and to take advantage of
+the strengths of different ways of presenting documents. The objects are
+numbered, and these numbers can be used to provide a common basis for citing
+material within a document across the different output format types. This is
+significant as page numbers are not well suited to the digital age, in web
+publishing, changing a browser's default font or using a different browser can
+mean that text will appear on a different page; and publishing in different
+formats, html, landscape and portrait pdf etc. again page numbers are not
+useful to cite text. Dealing with documents at an object level together with
+object numbering also has implications for search that
+.B SiSU
+is able to take advantage of.
+
+.BR
+One of the challenges of maintaining documents is to keep them in a format that
+allows use of them independently of proprietary platforms. Consider issues
+related to dealing with legacy proprietary formats today and what guarantee you
+have that old proprietary formats will remain (or can be read without
+proprietary software/equipment) in 15 years time, or the way the way in which
+html has evolved over its relatively short span of existence.
+.B SiSU
+provides the flexibility of producing documents in multiple non\-proprietary
+open formats including html, pdf[^5] ODF,[^6] and EPUB.[^7] Whilst
+.B SiSU
+relies on software, the markup is uncomplicated and minimalistic which
+guarantees that future engines can be written to run against it. It is also
+easily converted to other formats, which means documents prepared in
+.B SiSU
+can be migrated to other document formats. Further security is provided by
+the fact that the software itself,
+.B SiSU
+is available under GPL3 a licence that guarantees that the source code will
+always be open, and free as in libre, which means that that code base can be
+used, updated and further developed as required under the terms of its license.
+Another challenge is to keep up with a moving target.
+.B SiSU
+permits new forms of output to be added as they become important, (Open
+Document Format text was added in 2006 when it became an ISO standard for
+office applications and the archival of documents), EPUB was introduced in
+2009; and allows the technical representations existing output to be updated
+(html has evolved and the related module has been updated repeatedly over the
+years, presumably when the World Wide Web Consortium (w3c) finalises html 5
+which is currently under development, the html module will again be updated
+allowing all existing documents to be regenerated as html 5).
+
+.BR
+The document formats are written to the file\-system and available for indexing
+by independent indexing tools, whether off the web like Google and Yahoo or on
+the site like Lucene and Hyperestraier.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+also provides other features such as concordance files and document content
+certificates, and the working against an abstraction of document structure has
+further possibilities for the research and development of other document
+representations, the availability of objects is useful for example for topic
+maps and thesauri, together with the flexibility of
+.B SiSU
+offers great possibilities.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+is primarily for published works, which can take advantage of the citation
+system to reliably reference its documents.
+.B SiSU
+works well in a complementary manner with such collaborative technologies as
+Wikis, which can take advantage of and be used to discuss the substance of
+content prepared in
+.B SiSU

+relevant parts of a sisu document which can then for example be emailed. A
+sisupod includes sisu markup source file, (along with associated documents if a
+master file, or available in multilingual versions), together with related
+images and skin.
+.B SiSU
+commands can be run directly against a sisupod contained in a local
+directory, or provided as a url on a remote site. As there is a security issue
+with skins provided by other users, they are not applied unless the flag
+\-\-trust or \-\-trusted is added to the command instruction, it is recommended
+that file that are not your own are treated as untrusted. The directory
+structure of the unzipped file is understood by sisu, and sisu commands can be
+run within it. Note: if you wish to send multiple files, it quickly becomes
+more space efficient to zip the sisu markup directory, rather than the
+individual files for sending). See the \-S option without [filename/wildcard].

+7. INTRODUCTION TO SISU MARKUP[^10]
+.BR
+
+.SH
+7.1 SUMMARY
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+source documents are plaintext (UTF\-8)[^11] files
+
+.BR
+All paragraphs are separated by an empty line.
+
+.BR
+Markup is comprised of:
+
+.BR
+* 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)
+
+.BR
+* 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:
+
+.BR
+ * heading levels defines document structure
+
+.BR
+ * text basic attributes, italics, bold etc.
+
+.BR
+ * grouped text (objects), which are to be treated differently, such as code
+ blocks or poems.
+
+.BR
+ * footnotes/endnotes
+
+.BR
+ * linked text and images
+
+.BR
+ * paragraph actions, such as indent, bulleted, numbered\-lists, etc.
+
+.BR
+Some interactive help on markup is available, by typing sisu and selecting
+markup or sisu \-\-help markup
+
+.BR
+To check the markup in a file:
+
+.BR
+ sisu \-\-identify [filename].sst

+
+.BR
+Note: the first line of a document may include information on the markup
+version used in the form of a comment. Comments are a percentage mark at the

+.BR
+.B 1~ [heading \ text]
+Top level heading preceding substantive text of document or sub\-heading 2,
+the heading level that would normally be marked 1. or 2. or 3. etc. in a
+document, and the level on which sisu by default would break html output into
+named segments, names are provided automatically if none are given (a number),
+otherwise takes the form 1~my_filename_for_this_segment
+
+.BR
+.B 2~ [heading \ text]
+Second level heading preceding substantive text of document or sub\-heading
+3, the heading level that would normally be marked 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.3 or 2.1
+etc. in a document.
+
+.BR
+.B 3~ [heading \ text]
+Third level heading preceding substantive text of document, that would

+9.4 FOOTNOTES / ENDNOTES
+
+.BR
+Footnotes and endnotes not distinguished in markup. They are automatically
+numbered. Depending on the output file format (html, EPUB, odf, pdf etc.), the
+document output selected will have either footnotes or endnotes.

+
+.SH
+9.5 LINKS
+
+.SH
+9.5.1 NAKED URLS WITHIN TEXT, DEALING WITH URLS
+
+.BR
+urls found within text are marked up automatically. A url within text is
+automatically hyperlinked to itself and by default decorated with angled
+braces, unless they are contained within a code block (in which case they are
+passed as normal text), or escaped by a preceding underscore (in which case the
+decoration is omitted).
+
+.BR
+.B markup example:

+Sub\-terms are separated from the main term by a colon.
+
+
+.nf
+ Paragraph containing main term and sub\-term.
+ ={Main term:sub\-term}

+
+.nf
+ Main term, 1
+ sub\-term, 1

+10. COMPOSITE DOCUMENTS MARKUP
+.BR
+
+.BR
+It is possible to build a document by creating a master document that requires
+other documents. The documents required may be complete documents that could be
+generated independently, or they could be markup snippets, prepared so as to be
+easily available to be placed within another text. If the calling document is a
+master document (built from other documents), it should be named with the
+suffix
+.B \.ssm
+Within this document you would provide information on the other documents
+that should be included within the text. These may be other documents that
+would be processed in a regular way, or markup bits prepared only for inclusion
+within a master document
+.B \.sst
+regular markup file, or
+.B \.ssi
+(insert/information) A secondary file of the composite document is built
+prior to processing with the same prefix and the suffix
+.B \._sst
+
+.BR
+basic markup for importing a document into a master document
+
+
+.nf
+ << filename1.sst
+ << filename2.ssi
+.fi
+
+.BR
+The form described above should be relied on. Within the Vim editor it results
+in the text thus linked becoming hyperlinked to the document it is calling in
+which is convenient for editing. Alternative markup for importation of
+documents under consideration, and occasionally supported have been.
+

+The internal document markup of
+.B SiSU
+0.16 remains valid and standard Though note that
+.B SiSU
+0.37 introduced a new file naming convention
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+has in effect two sets of levels to be considered, using 0.38 notation A\-C
+headings/levels, pre\-ordinary paragraphs /pre\-substantive text, and 1\-3
+headings/levels, levels which are followed by ordinary text. This may be
+conceptualised as levels A,B,C, 1,2,3, and using such letter number notation,
+in effect: A must exist, optional B and C may follow in sequence (not strict) 1
+must exist, optional 2 and 3 may follow in sequence i.e. there are two
+independent heading level sequences A,B,C and 1,2,3 (using the 0.16 standard
+notation 1,2,3 and 4,5,6) on the positive side: the 0.38 A,B,C,1,2,3
+alternative makes explicit an aspect of structuring documents in
+.B SiSU
+that is not otherwise obvious to the newcomer (though it appears more
+complicated, is more in your face and likely to be understood fairly quickly);
+the substantive text follows levels 1,2,3 and it is \'nice\' to do most work in
+those levels

+12. SISU FILETYPES
+.BR
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+has plaintext and binary filetypes, and can process either type of document.
+
+.SH
+12.1 \.SST \.SSM \.SSI MARKED UP PLAIN TEXT
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+documents are prepared as plain\-text (utf\-8) files with
+.B SiSU
+markup. They may make reference to and contain images (for example), which
+are stored in the directory beneath them _sisu/image.
+.B SiSU
+plaintext markup files are of three types that may be distinguished by the
+file extension used: regular text \.sst; master documents, composite documents
+that incorporate other text, which can be any regular text or text insert; and
+inserts the contents of which are like regular text except these are marked
+ \.ssi and are not processed.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+processing can be done directly against a sisu documents; which may be
+located locally or on a remote server for which a url is provided.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+source markup can be shared with the command:
+
+.BR
+ sisu \-s [filename]
+
+.SH
+12.1.1 SISU TEXT \- REGULAR FILES (.SST)
+
+.BR
+The most common form of document in
+.B SiSU
+, see the section on
+.B SiSU
+markup.

+
+.SH
+12.1.2 SISU MASTER FILES (.SSM)
+
+.BR
+Composite documents which incorporate other
+.B SiSU
+documents which may be either regular
+.B SiSU
+text \.sst which may be generated independently, or inserts prepared solely
+for the purpose of being incorporated into one or more master documents.
+
+.BR
+The mechanism by which master files incorporate other documents is described as
+one of the headings under under
+.B SiSU
+markup in the
+.B SiSU
+manual.
+
+.BR
+Note: Master documents may be prepared in a similar way to regular documents,
+and processing will occur normally if a \.sst file is renamed \.ssm without
+requiring any other documents; the \.ssm marker flags that the document may
+contain other documents.
+
+.BR
+Note: a secondary file of the composite document is built prior to processing
+with the same prefix and the suffix \._sst [^17]
+
+.BR

+
+.SH
+12.1.3 SISU INSERT FILES (.SSI)
+
+.BR
+Inserts are documents prepared solely for the purpose of being incorporated
+into one or more master documents. They resemble regular
+.B SiSU
+text files except they are ignored by the
+.B SiSU
+processor. Making a file a \.ssi file is a quick and convenient way of
+flagging that it is not intended that the file should be processed on its own.
+
+.SH
+12.2 SISUPOD, ZIPPED BINARY CONTAINER (SISUPOD.ZIP, \.SSP)
+
+.BR
+A sisupod is a zipped
+.B SiSU
+text file or set of
+.B SiSU
+text files and any associated images that they contain (this will be extended
+to include sound and multimedia\-files)
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+plaintext files rely on a recognised directory structure to find contents
+such as images associated with documents, but all images for example for all
+documents contained in a directory are located in the sub\-directory
+_sisu/image. Without the ability to create a sisupod it can be inconvenient to
+manually identify all other files associated with a document. A sisupod
+automatically bundles all associated files with the document that is turned
+into a pod.
+
+.BR
+The structure of the sisupod is such that it may for example contain a single
+document and its associated images; a master document and its associated
+documents and anything else; or the zipped contents of a whole directory of
+prepared
+.B SiSU
+documents.
+
+.BR
+The command to create a sisupod is:
+
+.BR
+ sisu \-S [filename]
+
+.BR
+Alternatively, make a pod of the contents of a whole directory:
+
+.BR
+ sisu \-S
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+processing can be done directly against a sisupod; which may be located
+locally or on a remote server for which a url is provided.

+14. CONFIGURATION
+.BR
+
+.SH
+14.1 DETERMINING THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION
+
+.BR
+Information on the current configuration of
+.B SiSU
+should be available with the help command:
+
+.BR
+ sisu \-v
+
+.BR
+which is an alias for:
+
+.BR
+ sisu \-\-help env
+
+.BR
+Either of these should be executed from within a directory that contains sisu
+markup source documents.
+
+.SH
+14.2 CONFIGURATION FILES (CONFIG.YML)
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+configration parameters are adjusted in the configuration file, which can be
+used to override the defaults set. This includes such things as which directory
+interim processing should be done in and where the generated output should be
+placed.
+
+.BR
+The
+.B SiSU
+configuration file is a yaml file, which means indentation is significant.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+resource configuration is determined by looking at the following files if
+they exist:
+
+.BR
+ ./_sisu/sisurc.yml
+
+.BR
+ ~/.sisu/sisurc.yml
+
+.BR
+ /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml
+
+.BR
+The search is in the order listed, and the first one found is used.
+
+.BR
+In the absence of instructions in any of these it falls back to the internal
+program defaults.
+
+.BR
+Configuration determines the output and processing directories and the database
+access details.
+
+.BR
+If
+.B SiSU
+is installed a sample sisurc.yml may be found in /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml
+
+.SH
+15. SKINS
+.BR
+
+.BR
+Skins modify the default appearance of document output on a document,
+directory, or site wide basis. Skins are looked for in the following locations:
+
+.BR
+ ./_sisu/skin
+
+.BR
+ ~/.sisu/skin
+
+.BR
+ /etc/sisu/skin
+
+.BR
+.B Within the skin directory
+are the following the default sub\-directories for document skins:
+
+.BR
+ ./skin/doc
+
+.BR
+ ./skin/dir
+
+.BR
+ ./skin/site
+
+.BR
+A skin is placed in the appropriate directory and the file named skin_[name].rb
+
+.BR
+The skin itself is a ruby file which modifies the default appearances set in
+the program.
+
+.SH
+15.1 DOCUMENT SKIN
+
+.BR
+Documents take on a document skin, if the header of the document specifies a
+skin to be used.
+
+
+.nf
+ @skin: skin_united_nations
+.fi
+
+.SH
+15.2 DIRECTORY SKIN
+
+.BR
+A directory may be mapped on to a particular skin, so all documents within that
+directory take on a particular appearance. If a skin exists in the skin/dir
+with the same name as the document directory, it will automatically be used for
+each of the documents in that directory, (except where a document specifies the
+use of another skin, in the skin/doc directory).
+
+.BR
+A personal habit is to place all skins within the doc directory, and symbolic
+links as needed from the site, or dir directories as required.
+
+.SH
+15.3 SITE SKIN
+
+.BR
+A site skin, modifies the program default skin.
+
+.SH
+15.4 SAMPLE SKINS
+
+.BR
+With
+.B SiSU
+installed sample skins may be found in:
+
+.BR
+ /etc/sisu/skin/doc and
+ /usr/share/doc/sisu/v2/sisu_markup_samples/samples/_sisu/skin/doc
+
+.BR
+(or equivalent directory) and if sisu\-markup\-samples is installed also under:
+
+.BR
+ /usr/share/doc/sisu\-markup\-samples/v2/samples/_sisu/skin/doc
+
+.BR
+Samples of list.yml and promo.yml (which are used to create the right column
+list) may be found in:
+
+.BR
+ /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/yml (or equivalent
+ directory)
+
+.SH
+16. CSS \- CASCADING STYLE SHEETS (FOR HTML, XHTML AND XML)
+.BR
+
+.BR
+CSS files to modify the appearance of
+.B SiSU
+html, XHTML or XML may be placed in the configuration directory: \./_sisu/css
+; ~/.sisu/css or; /etc/sisu/css and these will be copied to the output
+directories with the command sisu \-CC.
+
+.BR
+The basic CSS file for html output is html.css, placing a file of that name in
+directory _sisu/css or equivalent will result in the default file of that name
+being overwritten.
+
+.BR
+HTML: html.css
+
+.BR
+XML DOM: dom.css
+
+.BR
+XML SAX: sax.css
+
+.BR
+XHTML: xhtml.css
+
+.BR
+The default homepage may use homepage.css or html.css
+
+.BR
+Under consideration is to permit the placement of a CSS file with a different
+name in directory _sisu/css directory or equivalent, and change the default CSS
+file that is looked for in a skin.[^18]
+
+.SH
+17. ORGANISING CONTENT
+.BR
+
+.SH
+17.1 DIRECTORY STRUCTURE AND MAPPING
+
+.BR
+The output directory root can be set in the sisurc.yml file. Under the root,
+subdirectories are made for each directory in which a document set resides. If
+you have a directory named poems or conventions, that directory will be created
+under the output directory root and the output for all documents contained in
+the directory of a particular name will be generated to subdirectories beneath
+that directory (poem or conventions). A document will be placed in a
+subdirectory of the same name as the document with the filetype identifier
+stripped (.sst \.ssm)
+
+.BR
+The last part of a directory path, representing the sub\-directory in which a
+document set resides, is the directory name that will be used for the output
+directory. This has implications for the organisation of document collections
+as it could make sense to place documents of a particular subject, or type
+within a directory identifying them. This grouping as suggested could be by
+subject (sales_law, english_literature); or just as conveniently by some other
+classification (X University). The mapping means it is also possible to place
+in the same output directory documents that are for organisational purposes
+kept separately, for example documents on a given subject of two different
+institutions may be kept in two different directories of the same name, under a
+directory named after each institution, and these would be output to the same
+output directory. Skins could be associated with each institution on a
+directory basis and resulting documents will take on the appropriate different
+appearance.
+
+.SH
+
+.SH
+18. HOMEPAGES
+.BR
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+is about the ability to auto\-generate documents. Home pages are regarded as
+custom built items, and are not created by
+.B SiSU
+. More accurately,
+.B SiSU
+has a default home page, which will not be appropriate for use with other
+sites, and the means to provide your own home page instead in one of two ways
+as part of a site\'s configuration, these being:
+
+.BR
+1. through placing your home page and other custom built documents in the
+subdirectory _sisu/home/ (this probably being the easier and more convenient
+option)
+
+.BR
+2. through providing what you want as the home page in a skin,
+
+.BR
+Document sets are contained in directories, usually organised by site or
+subject. Each directory can/should have its own homepage. See the section on
+directory structure and organisation of content.
+
+.SH
+18.1 HOME PAGE AND OTHER CUSTOM BUILT PAGES IN A SUB\-DIRECTORY
+
+.BR
+Custom built pages, including the home page index.html may be placed within the
+configuration directory _sisu/home/ in any of the locations that is searched
+for the configuration directory, namely \./_sisu ; ~/_sisu ; /etc/sisu From
+there they are copied to the root of the output directory with the command:
+
+.BR
+ sisu \-CC
+
+.SH
+18.2 HOME PAGE WITHIN A SKIN
+
+.BR
+Skins are described in a separate section, but basically are a file written in
+the programming language
+.B Ruby
+that may be provided to change the defaults that are provided with sisu with
+respect to individual documents, a directories contents or for a site.
+
+.BR
+If you wish to provide a homepage within a skin the skin should be in the
+directory _sisu/skin/dir and have the name of the directory for which it is to
+become the home page. Documents in the directory commercial_law would have the
+homepage modified in skin_commercial law.rb; or the directory poems in
+skin_poems.rb
+
+
+.nf
+ class Home
+ def homepage
+ # place the html content of your homepage here, this will become index.html
+ <<HOME <html>
+ <head></head>
+ <doc>
+ <p>this is my new homepage.</p>
+ </doc>
+ </html>
+ HOME
+ end
+ end
+.fi
+
+.SH
+19. MARKUP AND OUTPUT EXAMPLES
+.BR
+
+.SH
+19.1 MARKUP EXAMPLES
+
+.BR
+Current markup examples and document output samples are provided at
+<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html>
+
+.BR
+Some markup with syntax highlighting may be found under
+<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax> but is not as up to date.
+
+.BR
+For some documents hardly any markup at all is required at all, other than a
+header, and an indication that the levels to be taken into account by the
+program in generating its output are.
+
+.SH
+20. SISU SEARCH \- INTRODUCTION
+.BR
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+output can easily and conveniently be indexed by a number of standalone
+indexing tools, such as Lucene, Hyperestraier.
+
+.BR
+Because the document structure of sites created is clearly defined, and the
+text object citation system is available hypothetically at least, for all forms
+of output, it is possible to search the sql database, and either read results
+from that database, or just as simply map the results to the html output, which
+has richer text markup.
+
+.BR
+In addition to this
+.B SiSU
+has the ability to populate a relational sql type database with documents at
+an object level, with objects numbers that are shared across different output
+types, which make them searchable with that degree of granularity. Basically,
+your match criteria is met by these documents and at these locations within
+each document, which can be viewed within the database directly or in various
+output formats.
+
+.SH
+21. SQL
+.BR
+
+.SH
+21.1 POPULATING SQL TYPE DATABASES
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+feeds sisu markupd documents into sql type databases PostgreSQL[^19] and/or
+SQLite[^20] database together with information related to document structure.
+
+.BR
+This is one of the more interesting output forms, as all the structural data of
+the documents are retained (though can be ignored by the user of the database
+should they so choose). All site texts/documents are (currently) streamed to
+four tables:
+
+.BR
+ * one containing semantic (and other) headers, including, title, author,
+ subject, (the Dublin Core...);
+
+.BR
+ * another the substantive texts by individual "paragraph" (or object) \-
+ along with structural information, each paragraph being identifiable by its
+ paragraph number (if it has one which almost all of them do), and the
+ substantive text of each paragraph quite naturally being searchable (both in
+ formatted and clean text versions for searching); and
+
+.BR
+ * a third containing endnotes cross\-referenced back to the paragraph from
+ which they are referenced (both in formatted and clean text versions for
+ searching).
+
+.BR
+ * a fourth table with a one to one relation with the headers table contains
+ full text versions of output, eg. pdf, html, xml, and ascii.
+
+.BR
+There is of course the possibility to add further structures.
+
+.BR
+At this level
+.B SiSU
+loads a relational database with documents chunked into objects, their
+smallest logical structurally constituent parts, as text objects, with their
+object citation number and all other structural information needed to construct
+the document. Text is stored (at this text object level) with and without
+elementary markup tagging, the stripped version being so as to facilitate ease
+of searching.
+
+.BR
+Being able to search a relational database at an object level with the
+.B SiSU
+citation system is an effective way of locating content generated by
+.B SiSU
+. As individual text objects of a document stored (and indexed) together with
+object numbers, and all versions of the document have the same numbering,
+complex searches can be tailored to return just the locations of the search
+results relevant for all available output formats, with live links to the
+precise locations in the database or in html/xml documents; or, the structural
+information provided makes it possible to search the full contents of the
+database and have headings in which search content appears, or to search only
+headings etc. (as the Dublin Core is incorporated it is easy to make use of
+that as well).

+.BR
+.B SiSU
+can provide information on which documents are matched and at what locations
+within each document the matches are found. These results are relevant across
+all outputs using object citation numbering, which includes html, XML, EPUB,
+LaTeX, PDF and indeed the SQL database. You can then refer to one of the other
+outputs or in the SQL database expand the text within the matched objects
+(paragraphs) in the documents matched.
+
+.BR
+Note you may set results either for documents matched and object number
+locations within each matched document meeting the search criteria; or display
+the names of the documents matched along with the objects (paragraphs) that
+meet the search criteria.[^23]

+
+.SH
+25. HYPERESTRAIER
+.BR
+
+.BR
+See the documentation for hyperestraier:
+
+.BR
+ <http://hyperestraier.sourceforge.net/>
+
+.BR
+ /usr/share/doc/hyperestraier/index.html
+
+.BR
+ man estcmd
+
+.BR
+NOTE: the examples that follow assume that sisu output is placed in the
+directory /home/ralph/sisu_www
+
+.BR
+(A) to generate the index within the webserver directory to be indexed:
+
+.BR
+ estcmd gather \-sd [index \ name] [directory \ path \ to \ index]
+
+.BR
+the following are examples that will need to be tailored according to your
+needs:
+
+.BR
+ cd /home/ralph/sisu_www
+
+.BR
+ estcmd gather \-sd casket /home/ralph/sisu_www
+
+.BR
+you may use the \'find\' command together with \'egrep\' to limit indexing to
+particular document collection directories within the web server directory:
+
+.BR
+ find /home/ralph/sisu_www \-type f | egrep
+ \'/home/ralph/sisu_www/sisu/.+?.html$\' |estcmd gather \-sd casket \-
+
+.BR
+Check which directories in the webserver/output directory (~/sisu_www or
+elsewhere depending on configuration) you wish to include in the search index.
+
+.BR
+As sisu duplicates output in multiple file formats, it it is probably
+preferable to limit the estraier index to html output, and as it may also be
+desirable to exclude files \'plain.txt\', \'toc.html\' and
+\'concordance.html\', as these duplicate information held in other html output
+e.g.
+
+.BR
+ find /home/ralph/sisu_www \-type f | egrep
+ \'/sisu_www/(sisu|bookmarks)/.+?.html$\' | egrep \-v
+ \'(doc|concordance).html$\' |estcmd gather \-sd casket \-
+
+.BR
+from your current document preparation/markup directory, you would construct a
+rune along the following lines:
+
+.BR
+ find /home/ralph/sisu_www \-type f | egrep \'/home/ralph/sisu_www/([specify \
+ first \ directory \ for \ inclusion]|[specify \ second \ directory \ for \
+ inclusion]|[another \ directory \ for \ inclusion? \ \...])/.+?.html$\' |
+ egrep \-v \'(doc|concordance).html$\' |estcmd gather \-sd
+ /home/ralph/sisu_www/casket \-
+
+.BR
+(B) to set up the search form
+
+.BR
+(i) copy estseek.cgi to your cgi directory and set file permissions to 755:
+
+.BR
+ sudo cp \-vi /usr/lib/estraier/estseek.cgi /usr/lib/cgi\-bin
+
+.BR
+ sudo chmod \-v 755 /usr/lib/cgi\-bin/estseek.cgi
+
+.BR
+ sudo cp \-v /usr/share/hyperestraier/estseek.* /usr/lib/cgi\-bin
+
+.BR
+ [see \ estraier \ documentation \ for \ paths]
+
+.BR
+(ii) edit estseek.conf, with attention to the lines starting \'indexname:\' and
+\'replace:\':
+
+.BR
+ indexname: /home/ralph/sisu_www/casket
+
+.BR
+ replace: ^file:///home/ralph/sisu_www{{!}}http://localhost
+
+.BR
+ replace: /index.html?${{!}}/
+
+.BR
+(C) to test using webrick, start webrick:
+
+.BR
+ sisu \-W
+
+.BR
+and try open the url: <http://localhost:8081/cgi\-bin/estseek.cgi>

+.B SiSU
+processing instructions can be run against remote source documents by
+providing the url of the documents against which the processing instructions
+are to be carried out. The remote
+.B SiSU
+documents can either be sisu marked up files in plaintext \.sst or \.ssm or;
+zipped sisu files, sisupod.zip or filename.ssp
+
+.BR
+.B \.sst / \.ssm \- sisu text files
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+can be run against source text files on a remote machine, provide the
+processing instruction and the url. The source file and any associated parts
+(such as images) will be downloaded and generated locally.
+
+
+.nf
+ sisu \-3 http://[provide \ url \ to \ valid \ \.sst \ or \ \.ssm \ file]
+.fi
+
+.BR
+Any of the source documents in the sisu examples page can be used in this way,
+see <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html> and use the url for the
+desired document.
+
+.BR
+NOTE: to set up a remote machine to serve
+.B SiSU
+documents in this way, images should be in the directory relative to the
+document source \../_sisu/image
+
+.BR
+.B sisupod \- zipped sisu files
+
+.BR
+A sisupod is the zipped content of a sisu marked up text or texts and any other
+associated parts to the document such as images.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+can be run against a sisupod on a (local or) remote machine, provide the
+processing instruction and the url, the sisupod will be downloaded and the
+documents it contains generated locally.
+
+
+.nf
+ sisu \-3 http://[provide \ url \ to \ valid \ sisupod.zip \ or \ \.ssp \ file]

+REMOTE DOCUMENT OUTPUT
+.BR
+
+.SH
+28. REMOTE OUTPUT
+.BR
+
+.BR
+Once properly configured
+.B SiSU
+output can be automatically posted once generated to a designated remote
+machine using either rsync, or scp.
+
+.BR
+In order to do this some ssh authentication agent and keychain or similar tool
+will need to be configured. Once that is done the placement on a remote host
+can be done seamlessly with the \-r (for scp) or \-R (for rsync) flag, which
+may be used in conjunction with other processing flags, e.g.
+
+
+.nf
+ sisu \-3R sisu_remote.sst
+.fi
+
+.SH
+28.1 COMMANDS
+
+.TP
+.B \-R [filename/wildcard]
+copies sisu output files to remote host using rsync. This requires that
+sisurc.yml has been provided with information on hostname and username, and
+that you have your \"keys\" and ssh agent in place. Note the behavior of rsync
+different if \-R is used with other flags from if used alone. Alone the rsync
+\-\-delete parameter is sent, useful for cleaning the remote directory (when
+\-R is used together with other flags, it is not). Also see \-r
+
+.TP
+.B \-r [filename/wildcard]
+copies sisu output files to remote host using scp. This requires that
+sisurc.yml has been provided with information on hostname and username, and
+that you have your \"keys\" and ssh agent in place. Also see \-R
+
+.SH
+28.2 CONFIGURATION
+
+.BR
+[expand \ on \ the \ setting \ up \ of \ an \ ssh\-agent \ / \ keychain]
+
+.SH
+29. REMOTE SERVERS
+.BR
+
+.BR
+As
+.B SiSU
+is generally operated using the command line, and works within a Unix type
+environment,
+.B SiSU
+the program and all documents can just as easily be on a remote server, to
+which you are logged on using a terminal, and commands and operations would be
+pretty much the same as they would be on your local machine.
+
+.SH
+30. QUICKSTART \- GETTING STARTED HOWTO
+.BR
+
+.SH
+30.1 INSTALLATION
+
+.BR
+Installation is currently most straightforward and tested on the
+.B Debian
+platform, as there are packages for the installation of sisu and all
+requirements for what it does.
+
+.SH
+30.1.1 DEBIAN INSTALLATION
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+is available directly from the
+.B Debian
+Sid and testing archives (and possibly Ubuntu), assuming your
+/etc/apt/sources.list is set accordingly:
+
+
+.nf
+ aptitude update
+.BR
+ aptitude install sisu\-complete
+.fi
+
+.BR
+The following /etc/apt/sources.list setting permits the download of additional
+markup samples:
+
+
+.nf
+ #/etc/apt/sources.list
+.BR
+ deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non\-free contrib
+.BR
+ deb\-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non\-free contrib
+.BR
+ d
+.fi
+
+.BR
+The aptitude commands become:
+
+
+.nf
+ aptitude update
+.BR
+ aptitude install sisu\-complete sisu\-markup\-samples
+.fi
+
+.BR
+If there are newer versions of
+.B SiSU
+upstream of the
+.B Debian
+archives, they will be available by adding the following to your
+/etc/apt/sources.list
+
+
+.nf
+ #/etc/apt/sources.list
+ deb http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non\-free
+ deb\-src http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non\-free
+.fi
+
+.BR
+repeat the aptitude commands
+
+
+.nf
+ aptitude update
+ aptitude install sisu\-complete sisu\-markup\-samples
+.fi
+
+.BR
+Note however that it is not necessary to install sisu\-complete if not all
+components of sisu are to be used. Installing just the package sisu will
+provide basic functionality.
+
+.SH
+30.1.2 RPM INSTALLATION
+
+.BR
+RPMs are provided though untested, they are prepared by running alien against
+the source package, and against the debs.
+
+.BR
+They may be downloaded from:
+
+.BR
+ <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#rpm>
+
+.BR
+as root type:
+
+.BR
+ rpm \-i [rpm \ package \ name]
+
+.SH
+30.1.3 INSTALLATION FROM SOURCE
+
+.BR
+To install
+.B SiSU
+from source check information at:
+
+.BR
+ <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#current>
+
+.BR
+* download the source package
+
+.BR
+* Unpack the source
+
+.BR
+Two alternative modes of installation from source are provided, setup.rb (by
+Minero Aoki) and a rant(by Stefan Lang) built install file, in either case: the
+first steps are the same, download and unpack the source file:
+
+.BR
+For basic use
+.B SiSU
+is only dependent on the programming language in which it is written
+.B Ruby
+, and
+.B SiSU
+will be able to generate html, EPUB, various XMLs, including ODF (and will
+also produce LaTeX). Dependencies required for further actions, though it
+relies on the installation of additional dependencies which the source tarball
+does not take care of, for things like using a database (postgresql or
+sqlite)[^24] or converting LaTeX to pdf.
+
+.BR
+.B setup.rb
+
+.BR
+This is a standard ruby installer, using setup.rb is a three step process. In
+the root directory of the unpacked
+.B SiSU
+as root type:
+
+
+.nf
+ ruby setup.rb config
+ ruby setup.rb setup
+ #[and \ as \ root:]
+ ruby setup.rb install
+.fi
+
+.BR
+further information on setup.rb is available from:
+
+.BR
+ <http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/>
+
+.BR
+ <http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/doc/usage.html>
+
+.BR
+.B \"install\"
+
+.BR
+The \"install\" file provided is an installer prepared using \"rant\". In the
+root directory of the unpacked
+.B SiSU
+as root type:
+
+.BR
+ ruby install base
+
+.BR
+or for a more complete installation:
+
+.BR
+ ruby install
+
+.BR
+or
+
+.BR
+ ruby install base
+
+.BR
+This makes use of Rant (by Stefan Lang) and the provided Rantfile. It has been
+configured to do post installation setup setup configuration and generation of
+first test file. Note however, that additional external package dependencies,
+such as tetex\-extra are not taken care of for you.
+
+.BR
+Further information on \"rant\" is available from:
+
+.BR
+ <http://make.rubyforge.org/>
+
+.BR
+ <http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=615>
+
+.BR
+For a list of alternative actions you may type:
+
+.BR
+ ruby install help
+
+.BR
+ ruby install \-T

+.SH
+30.2 TESTING SISU, GENERATING OUTPUT
+
+.BR
+To check which version of sisu is installed:
+
+.BR
+sisu \-v
+
+.BR
+Depending on your mode of installation one or a number of markup sample files
+may be found either in the directory:
+
+.BR
+...
+
+.BR
+or
+
+.BR
+...
+
+.BR
+change directory to the appropriate one:
+
+.BR
+cd /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg
+
+.SH
+30.2.1 BASIC TEXT, PLAINTEXT, HTML, XML, ODF, EPUB
+
+.BR
+Having moved to the directory that contains the markup samples (see
+instructions above if necessary), choose a file and run sisu against it
+
+.BR
+sisu \-NhwoabxXyv free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst
+
+.BR
+this will generate html including a concordance file, opendocument text format,
+plaintext, XHTML and various forms of XML, and OpenDocument text
+
+.SH
+30.2.2 LATEX / PDF
+
+.BR
+Assuming a LaTeX engine such as tetex or texlive is installed with the required
+modules (done automatically on selection of sisu\-pdf in
+.B Debian
+)
+
+.BR
+Having moved to the directory that contains the markup samples (see
+instructions above if necessary), choose a file and run sisu against it
+
+.BR
+sisu \-pv free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst
+
+.BR
+sisu \-3 free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst
+
+.BR
+should generate most available output formats: html including a concordance
+file, opendocument text format, plaintext, XHTML and various forms of XML, and
+OpenDocument text and pdf
+
+.SH
+30.2.3 RELATIONAL DATABASE \- POSTGRESQL, SQLITE
+
+.BR
+Relational databases need some setting up \- you must have permission to create
+the database and write to it when you run sisu.
+
+.BR
+Assuming you have the database installed and the requisite permissions
+
+.BR

+32. HOW DOES SISU WORK?
+.BR
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+markup is fairly minimalistic, it consists of: a (largely optional) document
+header, made up of information about the document (such as when it was
+published, who authored it, and granting what rights) and any processing
+instructions; and markup within the substantive text of the document, which is
+related to document structure and typeface.
+.B SiSU
+must be able to discern the structure of a document, (text headings and their
+levels in relation to each other), either from information provided in the
+document header or from markup within the text (or from a combination of both).
+Processing is done against an abstraction of the document comprising of
+information on the document\'s structure and its objects,[2] which the program
+serializes (providing the object numbers) and which are assigned hash sum
+values based on their content. This abstraction of information about document
+structure, objects, (and hash sums), provides considerable flexibility in
+representing documents different ways and for different purposes (e.g. search,
+document layout, publishing, content certification, concordance etc.), and
+makes it possible to take advantage of some of the strengths of established
+ways of representing documents, (or indeed to create new ones).
+
+.SH
+33. SUMMARY OF FEATURES
+.BR
+
+.BR
+* sparse/minimal markup (clean utf\-8 source texts). Documents are prepared in
+a single UTF\-8 file using a minimalistic mnemonic syntax. Typical literature,
+documents like \"War and Peace\" require almost no markup, and most of the
+headers are optional.
+
+.BR
+* markup is easily readable/parsable by the human eye, (basic markup is simpler
+and more sparse than the most basic HTML), [this \ may \ also \ be \ converted
+\ to \ XML \ representations \ of \ the \ same \ input/source \ document].
+
+.BR
+* markup defines document structure (this may be done once in a header
+pattern\-match description, or for heading levels individually); basic text
+attributes (bold, italics, underscore, strike\-through etc.) as required; and
+semantic information related to the document (header information, extended
+beyond the Dublin core and easily further extended as required); the headers
+may also contain processing instructions.
+.B SiSU
+markup is primarily an abstraction of document structure and document
+metadata to permit taking advantage of the basic strengths of existing
+alternative practical standard ways of representing documents [be \ that \
+browser \ viewing, \ paper \ publication, \ sql \ search \ etc.] (html, epub,
+xml, odf, latex, pdf, sql)
+
+.BR
+* for output produces reasonably elegant output of established industry and
+institutionally accepted open standard formats.[3] takes advantage of the
+different strengths of various standard formats for representing documents,
+amongst the output formats currently supported are:
+
+.BR
+ * html \- both as a single scrollable text and a segmented document
+
+.BR
+ * xhtml
+
+.BR
+ * epub
+
+.BR
+ * XML \- both in sax and dom style xml structures for further development as
+ required
+
+.BR
+ * ODF \- open document format, the iso standard for document storage
+
+.BR
+ * LaTeX \- used to generate pdf
+
+.BR
+ * pdf (via LaTeX)
+
+.BR
+ * sql \- population of an sql database, (at the same object level that is
+ used to cite text within a document)
+
+.BR
+Also produces: concordance files; document content certificates (md5 or sha256
+digests of headings, paragraphs, images etc.) and html manifests (and sitemaps
+of content). (b) takes advantage of the strengths implicit in these very
+different output types, (e.g. PDFs produced using typesetting of LaTeX,
+databases populated with documents at an individual object/paragraph level,
+making possible granular search (and related possibilities))
+
+.BR
+* ensuring content can be cited in a meaningful way regardless of selected
+output format. Online publishing (and publishing in multiple document formats)
+lacks a useful way of citing text internally within documents (important to
+academics generally and to lawyers) as page numbers are meaningless across
+browsers and formats. sisu seeks to provide a common way of pinpoint the text
+within a document, (which can be utilized for citation and by search engines).
+The outputs share a common numbering system that is meaningful (to man and
+machine) across all digital outputs whether paper, screen, or database
+oriented, (pdf, HTML, EPUB, xml, sqlite, postgresql), this numbering system can
+be used to reference content.
+
+.BR
+* Granular search within documents. SQL databases are populated at an object
+level (roughly headings, paragraphs, verse, tables) and become searchable with
+that degree of granularity, the output information provides the
+object/paragraph numbers which are relevant across all generated outputs; it is
+also possible to look at just the matching paragraphs of the documents in the
+database; [output \ indexing \ also \ work \ well \ with \ search \ indexing \
+tools \ like \ hyperestraier].
+
+.BR * long term maintainability of document collections in a world of changing
+formats, having a very sparsely marked\-up source document base. there is a
+considerable degree of future\-proofing, output representations are
+\"upgradeable\", and new document formats may be added. e.g. addition of odf
+(open document text) module in 2006, epub in 2009 and in future html5 output
+sometime in future, without modification of existing prepared texts
+
+.BR
+* SQL search aside, documents are generated as required and static once
+generated.
+
+.BR
+* documents produced are static files, and may be batch processed, this needs
+to be done only once but may be repeated for various reasons as desired
+(updated content, addition of new output formats, updated technology document
+presentations/representations)
+
+.BR
+* document source (plaintext utf\-8) if shared on the net may be used as input
+and processed locally to produce the different document outputs
+
+.BR
+* document source may be bundled together (automatically) with associated
+documents (multiple language versions or master document with inclusions) and
+images and sent as a zip file called a sisupod, if shared on the net these too
+may be processed locally to produce the desired document outputs
+
+.BR
+* generated document outputs may automatically be posted to remote sites.
+
+.BR
+* for basic document generation, the only software dependency is
+.B Ruby
+, and a few standard Unix tools (this covers plaintext, HTML, EPUB, XML, ODF,
+LaTeX). To use a database you of course need that, and to convert the LaTeX
+generated to pdf, a latex processor like tetex or texlive.
+
+.BR
+* as a developers tool it is flexible and extensible
+
+.BR
+Syntax highlighting for
+.B SiSU
+markup is available for a number of text editors.
+
+.BR
+.B SiSU
+is less about document layout than about finding a way with little markup to
+be able to construct an abstract representation of a document that makes it
+possible to produce multiple representations of it which may be rather
+different from each other and used for different purposes, whether layout and
+publishing, or search of content
+
+.BR
+i.e. to be able to take advantage from this minimal preparation starting point
+of some of the strengths of rather different established ways of representing
+documents for different purposes, whether for search (relational database, or
+indexed flat files generated for that purpose whether of complete documents, or
+say of files made up of objects), online viewing (e.g. html, xml, pdf), or
+paper publication (e.g. pdf)...
+
+.BR
+the solution arrived at is by extracting structural information about the
+document (about headings within the document) and by tracking objects (which
+are serialized and also given hash values) in the manner described. It makes
+possible representations that are quite different from those offered at
+present. For example objects could be saved individually and identified by
+their hashes, with an index of how the objects relate to each other to form a
+document.
