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 +CONFIGURATION OF DOCUMENTS +.BR + +.SH +2. 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 +2.1 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 +2.2 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 +2.3 SITE SKIN + +.BR +A site skin, modifies the program default skin. + +.SH +2.4 SAMPLE SKINS + +.BR +With +.B SiSU +installed sample skins may be found in: + +.BR + /etc/sisu/skin/doc and + /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/doc + +.BR +(or equivalent directory) and if sisu\-markup\-samples is installed also under: + +.BR + /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/non\-free/_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 +3. 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 +3.1 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 +3.2 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.
