MANUAL, RALPH AMISSAH  
<p> WHAT IS SISU?  
<p> 1. INTRODUCTION - WHAT IS SISU? 

<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 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. 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> is developed under
an open source, software libre license (GPL3). Its use case for development
is to cope with medium to large document sets with evolving markup related
technologies, which should be prepared once, and for which you want multiple
output formats that can be updated and a common mechanism for cross-output-format
citation, and search. 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> both defines a markup syntax and provides an
engine that produces open standards format outputs from documents prepared
with <b>SiSU</b> 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&rsquo;s
structure and content from which it is possible to generate different forms
of representation of the document. Significantly <b>SiSU</b> markup is more sparse
than html and outputs which include html, LaTeX, landscape and portrait
pdfs, Open Document Format (ODF), all of which can be added to and updated.
<b>SiSU</b> is also able to populate SQL type databases at an object level, which
means that searches can be made with that degree of granularity. 
<p>  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</b> markup applied to a document, <b>SiSU</b> 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, 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 works (finalized texts as opposed to
works that are frequently changed or updated) for which it provides a fixed
means of reference of content. 
<p>  In preparing a <b>SiSU</b> 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. 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> works with an abstraction of the document based
on its structure which is comprised of its structure (or frame)[^3] and
the objects[^4] it contains, which enables <b>SiSU</b> 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 base 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&rsquo;s
default font or using a different browser means that text appears on different
pages; and in publishing in different formats, html, landscape and portrait
pdf etc. again page numbers are of no use to cite text in a manner that
is relevant against the different output types. Dealing with documents at
an object level together with object numbering also has implications for
search. 
<p>  One of the challenges of maintaining documents is to keep them
in a format that would allow users to use them without depending on a proprietary
software popular at the time. Consider the ease of 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</b> provides the flexibility of outputing documents
in multiple non-proprietary open formats including html, pdf[^5] and the
ISO standard ODF.[^6] Whilst <b>SiSU</b> 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</b> can be migrated to other document formats. Further
security is provided by the fact that the software itself, <b>SiSU</b> 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</b> 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), and 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). 
<p>  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. 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 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 the commercial
law thesaurus by Vikki Rogers and Al Krtizer, together with the flexibility
of <b>SiSU</b> offers great possibilities. 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> is primarily for published works,
which can take advantage of the citation system to reliably reference its
documents. <b>SiSU</b> 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</b>

<p> 2.2 DESCRIPTION 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> <b>SiSU</b>
is a document publishing system, that from a simple single marked-up document,
produces multiple of output formats including: plaintext, html, LaTeX,
pdf, xhtml, XML, info, and SQL (PostgreSQL and SQLite), which share numbered
text objects ( structure information. For more see: &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu</a>

<p> 2.3 DOCUMENT PROCESSING COMMAND FLAGS 
<p> 
<dl>

<dt><b>-a [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>produces plaintext
with Unix linefeeds and without markup, (object numbers are omitted), has
footnotes at end of each paragraph that contains them [ &nbsp;-A &nbsp;for &nbsp;equivalent
&nbsp;dos &nbsp;(linefeed) &nbsp;output &nbsp;file] [see &nbsp;-e &nbsp;for (Options include: --endnotes for endnotes
--footnotes for footnotes at the end of each paragraph --unix for unix linefeed
(default) --msdos for msdos linefeed) 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-b [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>produces xhtml/XML
output for browser viewing (sax parsing). 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-C [--init-site]</b> </dt>
<dd>configure/initialise
shared output directory files initialize shared output directory (config
files such as css and dtd files are not updated if they already exist unless
modifier is used). -C --init-site configure/initialise site more extensive than
-C on its own, shared output directory files/force update, existing shared
output config files such as css and dtd files are updated if this modifier
is used. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-CC</b> </dt>
<dd>configure/initialise shared output directory files initialize
shared output directory (config files such as css and dtd files are not
updated if they already exist unless modifier is used). The equivalent of:
-C --init-site configure/initialise site, more extensive than -C on its own,
shared output directory files/force update, existing shared output config
files such as css and dtd files are updated if -CC is used. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-c [filename/wildcard]</b>
</dt>
<dd>screen toggle ansi screen colour on or off depending on default set (unless
-c flag is used: if sisurc colour default is set to &rsquo;true&rsquo;, output to screen
will be with colour, if sisurc colour default is set to &rsquo;false&rsquo; or is undefined
screen output will be without colour). 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-D [instruction] [filename]</b> </dt>
<dd>database
postgresql ( --pgsql may be used instead) possible instructions, include:
--createdb; --create; --dropall; --import [filename]; --update [filename]; --remove
[filename]; see database section below. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-d [--db-[database &nbsp;type &nbsp;(sqlite|pg)]]
--[instruction] [filename]</b> </dt>
<dd>database type default set to sqlite, (for which
--sqlite may be used instead) or to specify another database --db-[pgsql, &nbsp;sqlite]
(however see -D) possible instructions include: --createdb; --create; --dropall;
--import [filename]; --update [filename]; --remove [filename]; see database section
below. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-F [--webserv=webrick]</b> </dt>
<dd>generate examples of (naive) cgi search form
for sqlite and pgsql depends on your already having used sisu to populate
an sqlite and/or pgsql database, (the sqlite version scans the output directories
for existing sisu_sqlite databases, so it is first necessary to create
them, before generating the search form) see -d -D and the database section
below. If the optional parameter --webserv=webrick is passed, the cgi examples
created will be set up to use the default port set for use by the webrick
server, (otherwise the port is left blank and the system setting used,
usually 80). The samples are dumped in the present work directory which
must be writable, (with screen instructions given that they be copied to
the cgi-bin directory). -Fv (in addition to the above) provides some information

<p>on setting up hyperestraier for sisu 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-H [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>produces html
without link suffixes (.html .pdf etc.) ( an appropriately configured web
server. [behaviour &nbsp;switched &nbsp;after &nbsp;0.35 see &nbsp;-h]. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-h [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>produces
html (with hardlinks i.e. with name suffixes in links/local urls). html, with
internal document links that include the document suffix, i.e. whether it
is .html or .pdf (required for browsing directly off a file system, and works
with most web servers). [behaviour &nbsp;switched &nbsp;after &nbsp;0.35 &nbsp;see &nbsp;-H]. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-I [filename/wildcard]</b>
</dt>
<dd>produces texinfo and info file, (view with pinfo). 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-i [filename/wildcard]</b>
</dt>
<dd>produces man page of file, not suitable for all outputs.

<dt><b>-M [filename/wildcard/url]</b> </dt>
<dd>maintenance mode files created for
processing preserved and their locations indicated. (also see -V) 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-m [filename/wildcard/url]</b>
</dt>
<dd>assumed for most other flags, creates new intermediate files for processing
(document abstraction) that is used in all subsequent processing of other
output. This step is assumed for most processing flags. To skip it see -n
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-N [filename/wildcard/url]</b>
</dt>
<dd>document digest or document content certificate ( DCC ) as md5 digest tree
of the document: the digest for the document, and digests for each object
contained within the document (together with information on software versions
that produced it) (digest.txt). -NV for verbose digest output to screen. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-n
[filename/wildcard/url]</b> </dt>

<dd>skip the creation of intermediate processing files (document abstraction)
if they already exist, this skips the equivalent of -m which is otherwise
assumed by most processing flags.
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-o [filename/wildcard/url]</b> </dt>
<dd>output basic
document in opendocument file format (opendocument.odt). 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-p [filename/wildcard]</b>
</dt>
<dd>produces LaTeX pdf (portrait.pdf &amp; landscape.pdf). Default paper size is set
in config file, or document header, or provided with additional command
line parameter, e.g. --papersize-a4 preset sizes include: &rsquo;A4&rsquo;, U.S. &rsquo;letter&rsquo; and
&rsquo;legal&rsquo; and book sizes &rsquo;A5&rsquo; and &rsquo;B5&rsquo; (system defaults to A4). 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-q [filename/wildcard]</b>
</dt>
<dd>quiet less output to screen. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-R [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>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 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 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-r [filename/wildcard]</b>
</dt>
<dd>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

<p>have your 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-S</b> </dt>
<dd>produces a sisupod a zipped sisu directory of markup files
including sisu markup source files and the directories local configuration
file, images and skins. Note: this only includes the configuration files
or skins contained in  ./_sisu not those in ~/.sisu -S [filename/wildcard]
option. Note: (this<br>
 option is tested only with zsh). 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-S [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>produces a zipped
file of the prepared document specified along with associated images, by
default named sisupod.zip they may alternatively be named with the filename
extension .ssp This provides a quick way of gathering the 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</b> 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].

<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-s [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>copies sisu markup file to output directory.

<dd>standard form document builder, preprocessing feature 
<p>
</dd>

<dt><b>-U [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>prints url output list/map for the available processing
flags options and resulting files that could be requested, (can be used
to get a list of processing options in relation to a file, together with
information on the output that would be produced), -u provides url output
mapping for those flags requested for processing. The default assumes sisu_webrick
is running and provides webrick url mappings where appropriate, but these

<p>can be switched to file system paths in sisurc.yml 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-u [filename/wildcard]</b>
</dt>
<dd>provides url mapping of output files for the flags requested for processing,

<p>also see -U 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-V</b> </dt>
<dd>on its own, provides <b>SiSU</b> version and environment information
(sisu --help env) 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-V [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>even more verbose than the -v flag.
(also see -M)

<dt><b>-v</b> </dt>
<dd>on its own, provides <b>SiSU</b> version information 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-v [filename/wildcard]</b>
</dt>
<dd>provides verbose output of what is being built, where it is being built
(and error messages if any), as with -u flag provides a url mapping of files
created for each of the processing flag requests. See also -V 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-W</b> </dt>
<dd>starts ruby&rsquo;s
webrick webserver points at sisu output directories, the default port is
set to 8081 and can be changed in the resource configuration files. [tip:
&nbsp;the &nbsp;webrick &nbsp;server &nbsp;requires &nbsp;link &nbsp;suffixes, &nbsp;so &nbsp;html &nbsp;output &nbsp;should &nbsp;be &nbsp;created
&nbsp;using &nbsp;the &nbsp;-h &nbsp;option &nbsp;rather &nbsp;than and search -H; &nbsp;also, &nbsp;note &nbsp;-F &nbsp;webrick &nbsp;]. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-w
[filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>produces concordance (wordmap) a rudimentary index
of all the words in a document. (Concordance files are not generated for
documents of over 260,000 words unless this limit is increased in the file
sisurc.yml) 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-X [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>produces XML output with deep document
structure, in the nature of dom. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-x [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>produces XML output
shallow structure (sax parsing). 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-Y [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>produces a short
sitemap entry for the document, based on html output and the sisu_manifest.
--sitemaps generates/updates the sitemap index of existing sitemaps. (Experimental,
[g,y,m &nbsp;announcement &nbsp;this &nbsp;week]) 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-y [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>produces an html
summary of output generated (hyperlinked to content) and document specific
metadata (sisu_manifest.html). This step is assumed for most processing flags.

<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-Z [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>Zap, if used with other processing flags deletes
output files of the type about to be processed, prior to processing. If
-Z is used as the lone processing related flag (or in conjunction with a
combination of -[mMvVq]), will remove the related document output directory.

<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-z [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>

<dd>makes two lists of sisu output based
on the sisu markup documents in a directory: list of author and authors
works (year and titles), and; list by topic with titles and author. Makes
use of header metadata fields (author, title, date, topic_register). Can
be used with maintenance (-M) and remote placement (-R) flags.

<dd>initial
step, creates required relations (tables, indexes) in existing postgresql
database (a database should be created manually and given the same name
as working directory, as requested) (rb.dbi) [ &nbsp;-dv &nbsp;--createall sqlite &nbsp;equivalent]
it may be necessary to run sisu -Dv --createdb initially NOTE: at the present
time for postgresql it may be necessary to manually create the database.
The command would be &rsquo;createdb [database name]&rsquo; where database name would
be SiSU_[present &nbsp;working &nbsp;directory &nbsp;name &nbsp;(without &nbsp;path)]. Please use only
alphanumerics and underscores. 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-Dv --import</b> </dt>

<p> 
<dl>

<dt><b>--update [filename/wildcard]</b>
</dt>
<dd>Checks existing file output and runs the flags required to update this
output. This means that if only html and pdf output was requested on previous
runs, only the -hp files will be applied, and only these will be generated
this time, together with the summary. This can be very convenient, if you
offer different outputs of different files, and just want to do the same
again.

</dl>
5.1 COMMAND LINE WITH FLAGS
- BATCH PROCESSING 
<p>  In the data directory run sisu -mh filename or wildcard
eg. cisg.sst documents. 
<p>  Running sisu (alone without any flags, filenames
or wildcards) brings up the interactive help, as does any sisu command
that is not recognised. Enter to escape. 
<p> 6. HELP  
<p> 6.1 SISU MANUAL 
<p>  The most
up to date information on sisu should be contained in the sisu_manual,
available at: 
<p>    &lt;<a href='http://sisudoc.org/sisu/sisu_manual/'>http://sisudoc.org/sisu/sisu_manual/</a>
&gt;<br>
 
<p>  The manual can be generated from source, found respectively, either
within the <b>SiSU</b> tarball or installed locally at: 
<p>    ./data/doc/sisu/v1/sisu_markup_samples/sisu_manual/<br>
 
<p>    /usr/share/doc/sisu/v1/sisu_markup_samples/sisu_manual/<br>
 
<p>  move to the respective directory and type e.g.: 
<p>    sisu sisu_manual.ssm<br>
 
<p> 6.2 SISU MAN PAGES 
<p>  If <b>SiSU</b> is installed on your system usual man commands
should be available, try: 
<p>    man sisu<br>
 
<p>    man sisu_markup<br>
 
<p>    man sisu_commands<br>
 
<p>  Most <b>SiSU</b> man pages are generated directly from sisu documents that
are used to prepare the sisu manual, the sources files for which are located
within the <b>SiSU</b> tarball at: 
<p>    ./data/doc/sisu/v1/sisu_markup_samples/sisu_manual<br>
 
<p>  Once installed, directory equivalent to: 
<p>    /usr/share/doc/sisu/v1/sisu_markup_samples/sisu_manual/<br>

 
<p>  Available man pages are converted back to html using man2html: 
<p>    /usr/share/doc/sisu/v1/html/<br>
 
<p>    ./data/doc/sisu/v1/html/<br>
 
<p>  An online version of the sisu man page is available here: 
<p>  * various
sisu man pages &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/man/'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/man/</a>

&gt;
[^8] 
<p> 6.3 SISU BUILT-IN INTERACTIVE HELP 
<p>  This is particularly useful for
getting the current sisu setup/environment information: 
<p>    sisu --help<br>
 
<p>    sisu --help [subject]<br>
 
<p>      sisu --help commands<br>
 
<p>      sisu --help markup<br>
 
<p>      sisu --help env [for &nbsp;feedback &nbsp;on &nbsp;the &nbsp;way &nbsp;your &nbsp;system &nbsp;is <br>
     setup &nbsp;with &nbsp;regard &nbsp;to &nbsp;sisu]<br>
 
<p>    sisu -V [environment &nbsp;information, &nbsp;same &nbsp;as &nbsp;above &nbsp;command]<br>
 
<p>    sisu (on its own provides version and some help information)<br>
 
<p>  Apart from real-time information on your current configuration the <b>SiSU</b>
manual and man pages are likely to contain more up-to-date information than
the sisu interactive help (for example on commands and markup). 
<p>  NOTE:
Running the command sisu (alone without any flags, filenames or wildcards)
brings up the interactive help, as does any sisu command that is not recognised.
Enter to escape.

<p> 7. INTRODUCTION TO SISU MARKUP[^9]  
<p> 7.1 SUMMARY 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> source documents
are plaintext (UTF-8)[^10] files 
<p>  All paragraphs are separated by an empty
line. 
<p>  Markup is comprised of: 
<p>  * 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) 
<p>  * 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: 
<p>    * heading levels defines
document structure<br>
 
<p>    * text basic attributes, italics, bold etc.<br>
 
<p>    * grouped text (objects), which are to be treated differently, such
as code<br>
   blocks or poems.<br>
 
<p>    * footnotes/endnotes<br>
 
<p>    * linked text and images<br>
 
<p>    * paragraph actions, such as indent, bulleted, numbered-lists, etc.<br>
 
<p>  Some interactive help on markup is available, by typing sisu and selecting

<p>markup or sisu --help markup 
<p>  To check the markup in a file: 
<p>    sisu --identify
[filename].sst<br>
 
<p>  For brief descriptive summary of markup history 
<p>    sisu --query-history<br>
 
<p>  or if for a particular version: 
<p>    sisu --query-0.38<br>
 
<p> 7.2 MARKUP EXAMPLES 
<p> 7.2.1 ONLINE 
<p>  Online markup examples are available
together with the respective outputs produced from &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html</a>
&gt;
or from &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_examples/'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_examples/</a>
&gt; 
<p>  There is of course this
document, which provides a cursory overview of sisu markup and the respective
output produced: &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup/'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup/</a>

<p> 7.2.2 INSTALLED 
<p>  With <b>SiSU</b> installed sample skins may be found in: /usr/share/doc/sisu/v1/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg
(or equivalent directory) and if sisu-markup-samples is installed also under:

<p>/usr/share/doc/sisu/v1/sisu_markup_samples/non-free 
<p> 8. MARKUP OF HEADERS  
<p>
 Headers contain either: semantic meta-data about a document, which can

<p> 8.1 SAMPLE HEADER 
<p>  This current document has a header similar to this
one (without the comments): 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  % SiSU 0.57
  @title: SiSU
  @subtitle: Markup
  @creator: Amissah, Ralph
  % note formatting rules on author / creator field,
  @rights: Copyright (C) Ralph Amissah 2007, part of SiSU documentation,
License GPL 3
  @type: information
  @subject: ebook, epublishing, electronic book, electronic publishing,
electronic document, electronic citation, data structure, citation systems,
search
  @topic_register: text markup language; application:text processing;output:html|xml|latex|pdf|sql
  % note formatting for topic_register topic levels are separated by a
colon, a semi-colon separates main topics
  @date: 2007-09-16
  % original publication date unless the substantive text is updated/modified,
then date of update
  @date.created: 2002-08-28
  @date.issued: 2002-08-28
  @date.available: 2002-08-28
  @date.modified: 2007-09-16
  @level: new=C; break=1; num_top=1
  % comment: in this @level header num_top=1 starts automatic heading numbering
at heading level 1 (numbering continues 3 levels down); the new and break
instructions are used by the LaTeX/pdf and odf output to determine where
to put page breaks (that are not used by html output or say sql database
population).
  @skin: skin_sisu_manual
  % skins modify the appearance of a document and are placed in a sub-directory
under ./_sisu/skin ~/.sisu/skin or /etc/sisu/skin. A skin may affect single
documents that request them, all documents in a directory, or be site-wide.
(A document is affected by a single skin)

<p> 8.2 AVAILABLE HEADERS 
<p>  Header tags appear at the beginning of a document
and provide meta information on the document (such as the Dublin Core),
or information as to how the document as a whole is to be processed. All
header instructions take either the form @headername: or 0~headername. All

<p>Dublin Core meta tags are available 
<p>  <b>@indentifier:</b> information or instructions

<p>  where the information

9. MARKUP OF SUBSTANTIVE TEXT  
<p> 9.1 HEADING

<p>LEVELS 
<p>  Heading levels are :A~ ,:B~ ,:C~ ,1~ ,2~ ,3~ ... :A - :C being part
/ section headings, followed by other heading levels, and 1 -6 being headings
followed by substantive text or sub-headings. :A~ usually the title :A~?
conditional level 1 heading (used where a stand-alone document may be imported
into another) 
<p>  <b>:A~ [heading &nbsp;text]</b> Top level heading [this &nbsp;usually &nbsp;has
&nbsp;similar &nbsp;content &nbsp;to &nbsp;the &nbsp;] NOTE: the heading levels described here are in
0.38 notation, see heading 
<p>  <b>:B~ [heading &nbsp;text]</b> Second level heading [this
&nbsp;is &nbsp;a &nbsp;heading &nbsp;level &nbsp;divider] 
<p>  <b>:C~ [heading &nbsp;text]</b> Third level heading [this
&nbsp;is &nbsp;a &nbsp;heading &nbsp;level &nbsp;divider] 
<p>  <b>1~ [heading &nbsp;text]</b> 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

<p>form 1~my_filename_for_this_segment 
<p>  <b>2~ [heading &nbsp;text]</b> 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. 
<p> 
<b>3~ [heading &nbsp;text]</b> Third level heading preceding substantive text of document,
that would normally be marked 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 or 1.2.1 or 2.1.1 etc. in a document

<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  1~filename level 1 heading,
  % the primary division such as Chapter that is followed by substantive
text, and may be further subdivided (this is the level on which by default
html segments are made)
</pre>
<p> 9.2 FONT ATTRIBUTES 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  normal text !{emphasis}! *{bold text}* _{underscore}_ /{italics}/
  normal text
  !{emphasis}!
  *{bold text}*
  _{underscore}_
  /{italics}/
 
  ^{superscript}^
  ,{subscript},
  +{inserted text}+
  -{strikethrough}-
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  normal text <b>emphasis</b> <b>bold text</b> <i>underscore</i> <i>italics</i>
&lt;cite&gt;citation&lt;/cite&gt; ^superscript^ &nbsp;[subscript] &lt;ins&gt;inserted text&lt;/ins&gt; &lt;del&gt;strikethrough&lt;/del&gt;

<p>  normal text 
<p> 
<p>  <b>bold text</b> 
<p>  <i>underscore</i> 
<p>  <i>italics</i> 
<p>  &lt;cite&gt;citation&lt;/cite&gt; 
<p>
 ^superscript^ 
<p>  [subscript] 
<p>  &lt;ins&gt;inserted text&lt;/ins&gt; 
<p>  &lt;del&gt;strikethrough&lt;/del&gt;

<p> 9.3 INDENTATION AND BULLETS 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  ordinary paragraph
  _1 indent paragraph one step
  _2 indent paragraph two steps
  _9 indent paragraph nine steps
</pre>
<p> 
<p> <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  ordinary paragraph 
<p>    indent paragraph one step<br>
 
<p>      indent paragraph two steps<br>
 
<p>                    indent paragraph nine steps<br>
 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  _* bullet text
  _1* bullet text, first indent
  _2* bullet text, two step indent
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  * bullet text 
<p>    * bullet text, first indent<br>
 
<p>      * bullet text, two step indent<br>
 
<p>  Numbered List (not to be confused with headings/titles, (document structure))

<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  # numbered list                numbered list 1., 2., 3, etc.
  _# numbered list numbered list indented a., b., c., d., etc.
</pre>
<p> 9.4 FOOTNOTES / ENDNOTES 
<p>  Footnotes and endnotes not distinguished in
markup. They are automatically numbered. Depending on the output file format
(html, odf, pdf etc.), the document output selected will have either footnotes
or endnotes. 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  ~{ a footnote or endnote }~
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  [^11] 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  normal text~{ self contained endnote marker &amp; endnote in one }~ continues
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  normal text[^12] continues 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  normal text ~{* unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote, insert multiple
asterisks if required }~ continues
  normal text ~{** another unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote }~ continues
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  normal text [^*] continues 
<p>  normal text [^**] continues

<p> 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  normal text ~[* &nbsp;editors &nbsp;notes, &nbsp;numbered &nbsp;asterisk &nbsp;footnote/endnote &nbsp;series
&nbsp;]~ continues
  normal text ~[+ &nbsp;editors &nbsp;notes, &nbsp;numbered &nbsp;asterisk &nbsp;footnote/endnote &nbsp;series
&nbsp;]~ continues
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  normal text [^*3] continues 
<p>  normal text [^+2] continues

<p> 
<p>  <b>Alternative endnote pair notation for footnotes/endnotes:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  % note the endnote marker
  normal text~^ continues
  ^~ endnote text following the paragraph in which the marker occurs
</pre>
<p>  the standard and pair notation cannot be mixed in the same document 
<p>

<p>9.5 LINKS 
<p> 9.5.1 NAKED URLS WITHIN TEXT, DEALING WITH URLS 
<p>  urls are found
within text and 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). 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  normal text http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu continues
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  normal text &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu</a>
&gt; continues 
<p>  An

<p>escaped url without decoration 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  normal text http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu continues
  deb http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  normal text <a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu</a>
 continues 
<p>  deb

<p><a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive</a>
 unstable main non-free 
<p>  where a code block
is used there is neither decoration nor hyperlinking, code blocks are discussed

<p>later in this document 
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  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
</pre>
<p>  To link text or an image to a url the markup is as follows 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b>

<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  about { SiSU }http://url.org markup
</pre>
<p> 9.5.2 LINKING TEXT 
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  about SiSU &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/</a>
&gt;

<p>markup 
<p>  A shortcut notation is available so the url link may also be provided

<p>automatically as a footnote 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  about {~^ SiSU }http://url.org markup
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  about SiSU &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/</a>
&gt; [^13] markup 
<p>

<p>9.5.3 LINKING IMAGES 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  { tux.png 64x80 }image
  % various url linked images
  {tux.png 64x80
  {GnuDebianLinuxRubyBetterWay.png 100x101
  {~^ ruby_logo.png
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  [ tux.png ] 
<p>  tux.png 64x80 
<p>  [ &nbsp;ruby_logo &nbsp;(png &nbsp;missing)
&nbsp;] [^14] 
<p>  GnuDebianLinuxRubyBetterWay.png 100x101 and Ruby 
<p>  <b>linked url footnote

<p>shortcut</b> 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  {~^ &nbsp;[text &nbsp;to &nbsp;link] }http://url.org
  % maps to: { &nbsp;[text &nbsp;to &nbsp;link] }http://url.org ~{ http://url.org }~
  % which produces hyper-linked text within a document/paragraph, with an
endnote providing the url for the text location used in the hyperlink
</pre>
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  text marker *~name
</pre>
<p>  note at a heading level the same is automatically achieved by providing
names to headings 1, 2 and 3 i.e. 2~[name] and 3~[name] or in the case of
auto-heading numbering, without further intervention. 
<p> 9.6 GROUPED TEXT 
<p> 9.6.1

<p>TABLES 
<p>  Tables may be prepared in two either of two forms 
<p>  <b>markup example:</b>

<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  table{ c3; 40; 30; 30;
  This is a table
  this would become column two of row one
  column three of row one is here
  And here begins another row
  column two of row two
  column three of row two, and so on
  }table
</pre>
<p>  <b>resulting output:</b> 
<p>  &nbsp;[table &nbsp;omitted, &nbsp;see &nbsp;other &nbsp;document &nbsp;formats]<br>
 
<p>  a second form may be easier to work with in cases where there is not

<p>much information in each column

<p> 9.6.4 CODE 
<p>  Code tags are used to escape regular sisu markup, and have
been used extensively within this document to provide examples of <b>SiSU</b>
markup. You cannot however use code tags to escape code tags. They are however
used in the same way as group or poem tags. 
<p>  A code-block is treated as
an object and given a single object number. [an more than 100 times in last
month. option &nbsp;to &nbsp;number &nbsp;each &nbsp;line &nbsp;of &nbsp;code &nbsp;may &nbsp;be &nbsp;considered &nbsp;at more than

<p> 9.7 BOOK INDEX 
<p>  To make an index append to paragraph the book index term
relates to it, using an equal sign and curly braces. 
<p>  Currently two levels
are provided, a main term and if needed a sub-term. Sub-terms are separated
from the main term by a colon. 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    Paragraph containing main term and sub-term.
    ={Main term:sub-term}
</pre>
<p>  The index syntax starts on a new line, but there should not be an empty
line between paragraph and index markup. 
<p>  The structure of the resulting
index would be: 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    Main term, 1
      sub-term, 1
</pre>
<p>  Several terms may relate to a paragraph, they are separated by a semicolon.
If the term refers to more than one paragraph, indicate the number of paragraphs.

<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    Paragraph containing main term, second term and sub-term.
    ={first term; second term: sub-term}
</pre>
<p>  The structure of the resulting index would be: 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    First term, 1,
    Second term, 1,
      sub-term, 1
</pre>
<p>  If multiple sub-terms appear under one paragraph, they are separated under
the main term heading from each other by a pipe symbol. 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    Paragraph containing main term, second term and sub-term.
    ={Main term:sub-term+1|second sub-term
    A paragraph that continues discussion of the first sub-term
</pre>
<p>  The plus one in the example provided indicates the first sub-term spans
one additional paragraph. The logical structure of the resulting index would
be: 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    Main term, 1,
      sub-term, 1-3,
      second sub-term, 1,
</pre>
<p> 10. COMPOSITE DOCUMENTS MARKUP  
<p>  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</b> 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</b> regular markup file, or <b>.ssi</b> (insert/information)

<p>A secondary file of the composite document is built prior to processing

<p>with the same prefix and the suffix <b>._sst</b> 
<p>  basic markup for importing a

<p>document into a master document 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  &lt;&lt; filename1.sst
  &lt;&lt; filename2.ssi
</pre>
<p>  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.

<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  &lt;&lt; filename.ssi
  &lt;&lt;{filename.ssi}
  % using textlink alternatives
  &lt;&lt; |filename.ssi|@|^|
</pre>
<p> MARKUP SYNTAX HISTORY  
<p> 11. NOTES RELATED TO FILES-TYPES AND MARKUP SYNTAX
 
<p>  0.38 is substantially current, depreciated 0.16 supported, though file

<p>names were changed at 0.37 
<p>  * sisu --query=[sisu &nbsp;version &nbsp;[0.38] or &rsquo;history]

<p>  provides a short history of changes to <b>SiSU</b> markup 
<p>  <b>0.57</b> (2007w34/4)
<b>SiSU</b> 0.57 is the same as 0.42 with the introduction of some a shortcut to
use the headers @title and @creator in the first heading [expanded &nbsp;using
&nbsp;the &nbsp;and &nbsp;@author:] 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  :A~ @title by @author
</pre>
<p>  <b>0.52</b> (2007w14/6) declared document type identifier at start of text/document:

<p>    .B SiSU<br>
 0.52 
<p>  or, backward compatible using the comment marker: 
<p>    %<br>
 <b>SiSU</b> 0.38 
<p>  variations include &rsquo; <b>SiSU</b> (text|master|insert) [version]&rsquo; and &rsquo;sisu-[version]&rsquo;

<p>  <b>0.51</b> (2007w13/6) skins changed (simplified), markup unchanged 
<p>  <b>0.42</b> (2006w27/4)
* (asterisk) type endnotes, used e.g. in relation to author 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 0.42 is
the same as 0.38 with the introduction of some additional endnote types,

<p>  Introduces some variations on endnotes, in particular the use of the

<p>asterisk 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  ~{* for example for describing an author }~ and ~{** for describing a
second author }~
</pre>
<p>  * for example for describing an author 
<p>  ** for describing a second author

<p>  and 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  ~[* &nbsp;my &nbsp;note &nbsp;]~ or ~[+ &nbsp;another &nbsp;note &nbsp;]~
</pre>
<p>  which numerically increments an asterisk and plus respectively 
<p>  *1 my

<p>note +1 another note 
<p>  <b>0.38</b> (2006w15/7) introduced new/alternative notation
for headers, e.g. @title: (instead of 0~title), and accompanying document
structure markup, :A,:B,:C,1,2,3 (maps to previous 1,2,3,4,5,6) 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b>
0.38 introduced alternative experimental header and heading/structure markers,

<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  @headername: and headers :A~ :B~ :C~ 1~ 2~ 3~
</pre>
<p>  as the equivalent of: 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  0~headername and headers 1~ 2~ 3~ 4~ 5~ 6~
</pre>
<p>  The internal document markup of <b>SiSU</b> 0.16 remains valid and standard Though

<p>note that <b>SiSU</b> 0.37 introduced a new file naming convention 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 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</b> 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 &rsquo;nice&rsquo; to do most work in those levels

<p>  <b>0.37</b> (2006w09/7) introduced new file naming convention, .sst (text), .ssm
(master), .ssi (insert), markup syntax unchanged 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 0.37 introduced new
file naming convention, using the file extensions .sst  .ssm and .ssi to replace
.s1 .s2 .s3 .r1 .r2 .r3 and .si<br>
 
<p>  this is captured by the following file &rsquo;rename&rsquo; instruction: 
<p>

SISU FILETYPES  
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> has plaintext and binary filetypes, and can process
either type of document. 
<p> 12.1 .SST .SSM .SSI MARKED UP PLAIN TEXT 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> documents
are prepared as plain-text (utf-8) files with <b>SiSU</b> markup. They may make reference
to and contain images (for example), which are stored in the directory
beneath them _sisu/image. <b>SiSU</b> 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>
 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 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.

<p>  <b>SiSU</b> source markup can be shared with the command: 
<p>    sisu -s [filename]<br>
 
<p> 12.1.1 SISU TEXT - REGULAR FILES (.SST) 
<p>  The most common form of document
in <b>SiSU</b> , see the section on <b>SiSU</b> markup. 
<p>  &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup</a>
&gt;

<p>  &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_manual'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_manual</a>
&gt; 
<p> 12.1.2 SISU MASTER FILES (.SSM) 
<p>  Composite
documents which incorporate other <b>SiSU</b> documents which may be either regular
<b>SiSU</b> text .sst which may be generated independently, or inserts prepared
solely for the purpose of being incorporated into one or more master documents.

<p>  The mechanism by which master files incorporate other documents is described
as one of the headings under under <b>SiSU</b> markup in the <b>SiSU</b> manual. 
<p>  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. 
<p>  Note: a secondary file of the composite document
is built prior to processing with the same prefix and the suffix ._sst [^16]

&gt;

<p> 12.1.3 SISU INSERT FILES (.SSI) 
<p>  Inserts are documents prepared solely for
the purpose of being incorporated into one or more master documents. They
resemble regular <b>SiSU</b> text files except they are ignored by the <b>SiSU</b> 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. 
<p> 12.2 SISUPOD,
ZIPPED BINARY CONTAINER (SISUPOD.ZIP, .SSP) 
<p>  A sisupod is a zipped <b>SiSU</b>
text file or set of <b>SiSU</b> text files and any associated images that they
contain (this will be extended to include sound and multimedia-files) 
<p> 
<b>SiSU</b> 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. 
<p>  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</b> documents. 
<p>  The command to create
a sisupod is: 
<p>    sisu -S [filename]<br>
 
<p>  Alternatively, make a pod of the contents of a whole directory: 
<p>   
sisu -S<br>
 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> processing can be done directly against a sisupod; which may be
located locally or on a remote server for which a url is provided.

<p> 13. EXPERIMENTAL ALTERNATIVE INPUT
REPRESENTATIONS  
<p> 13.1 ALTERNATIVE XML 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> offers alternative XML input
representations of documents as a proof of concept, experimental feature.
They are however not strictly maintained, and incomplete and should be
handled with care. 
<p>  <b>convert from sst to simple xml representations (sax,
dom and node):</b> 
<p>    sisu --to-sax [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxs [filename/wildcard]<br>
 
<p>    sisu --to-dom [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxd [filename/wildcard]<br>
 
<p>    sisu --to-node [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxn [filename/wildcard]<br>
 
<p> 
<p>  <b>convert to sst from any sisu xml representation (sax, dom and node):</b>

<p>    sisu --from-xml2sst [filename/wildcard &nbsp;[.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]<br>
 
<p>  or the same: 
<p>    sisu --from-sxml [filename/wildcard &nbsp;[.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]<br>
 
<p> 13.1.1 XML SAX REPRESENTATION 
<p>  To convert from sst to simple xml (sax)
representation: 
<p>    sisu --to-sax [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxs [filename/wildcard]<br>
 
<p>  To convert from any sisu xml representation back to sst 
<p>    sisu --from-xml2sst
[filename/wildcard &nbsp;[.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]<br>
 
<p>  or the same: 
<p>    sisu --from-sxml [filename/wildcard &nbsp;[.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]<br>
 
<p> 13.1.2 XML DOM REPRESENTATION 
<p>  To convert from sst to simple xml (dom)
representation: 
<p>    sisu --to-dom [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxd [filename/wildcard]<br>
 
<p>  To convert from any sisu xml representation back to sst 
<p>    sisu --from-xml2sst
[filename/wildcard &nbsp;[.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]<br>
 
<p>  or the same: 
<p>    sisu --from-sxml [filename/wildcard &nbsp;[.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]<br>
 
<p> 13.1.3 XML NODE REPRESENTATION 
<p>  To convert from sst to simple xml (node)
representation: 
<p>    sisu --to-node [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxn [filename/wildcard]<br>
 
<p>  To convert from any sisu xml representation back to sst 
<p>    sisu --from-xml2sst

<p>  or the same: 
<p>    sisu --from-sxml [filename/wildcard &nbsp;[.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]<br>
 
<p> 14. CONFIGURATION  
<p> 14.1 DETERMINING THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION 
<p>  Information
on the current configuration of <b>SiSU</b> should be available with the help
command: 
<p>    sisu -v<br>
 
<p>  which is an alias for: 
<p>    sisu --help env<br>
 
<p>  Either of these should be executed from within a directory that contains
sisu markup source documents. 
<p> 14.2 CONFIGURATION FILES (CONFIG.YML) 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b>
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. 
<p>  The <b>SiSU</b> configuration file is a yaml file, which
means indentation is significant. 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> resource configuration is determined
by looking at the following files if they exist: 
<p>    ./_sisu/sisurc.yml<br>
 
<p>    ~/.sisu/sisurc.yml<br>
 
<p>    /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml<br>
 
<p>  The search is in the order listed, and the first one found is used. 
<p>
 In the absence of instructions in any of these it falls back to the internal
program defaults. 
<p>  Configuration determines the output and processing directories
and the database access details. 
<p>  If <b>SiSU</b> is installed a sample sisurc.yml

<p>may be found in /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml 
<p> 15. SKINS  
<p>  Skins modify the default
appearance of document output on a document, directory, or site wide basis.
Skins are looked for in the following locations: 
<p>    ./_sisu/skin<br>
 
<p>    ~/.sisu/skin<br>
 
<p>    /etc/sisu/skin<br>
 
<p>  <b>Within the skin directory</b> are the following the default sub-directories
for document skins: 
<p>    ./skin/doc<br>
 
<p>    ./skin/dir<br>
 
<p>    ./skin/site<br>
 
<p>  A skin is placed in the appropriate directory and the file named skin_[name].rb

<p>  The skin itself is a ruby file which modifies the default appearances
set in the program. 
<p> 15.1 DOCUMENT SKIN 
<p>  Documents take on a document skin,
if the header of the document specifies a skin to be used. 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  @skin: skin_united_nations
</pre>
<p> 15.2 DIRECTORY SKIN 
<p>  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). 
<p>  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.

<p> 15.3 SITE SKIN 
<p>  A site skin, modifies the program default skin. 
<p> 15.4 SAMPLE

<p>SKINS 
<p>  With <b>SiSU</b> installed sample skins may be found in: 
<p>    /etc/sisu/skin/doc
and<br>
   /usr/share/doc/sisu/v1/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/doc<br>
 
<p>  (or equivalent directory) and if sisu-markup-samples is installed also
under: 
<p>    /usr/share/doc/sisu/v1/sisu_markup_samples/non-free/_sisu/skin/doc<br>
 
<p>  Samples of list.yml and promo.yml (which are used to create the right
column list) may be found in: 
<p>    /usr/share/doc/sisu/v1/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/yml
(or equivalent<br>
   directory)<br>
 
<p> 16. CSS - CASCADING STYLE SHEETS (FOR HTML, XHTML AND XML)  
<p>  CSS files
to modify the appearance of <b>SiSU</b> 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<br>
 output directories with the command sisu -CC. 
<p>  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.

<p>  HTML: html.css 
<p>  XML DOM: dom.css 
<p>  XML SAX: sax.css 
<p>  XHTML: xhtml.css 
<p>
 The default homepage may use homepage.css or html.css 
<p>  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.[^17] 
<p> 17. ORGANISING CONTENT  
<p> 17.1 DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

<p>AND MAPPING 
<p>  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) 
<p>  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.

<p> 17.2 ORGANISING CONTENT 
<p> 18. HOMEPAGES  
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> is about the ability to auto-generate
documents. Home pages are regarded as custom built items, and are not created
by <b>SiSU</b>  <b>SiSU</b> 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&rsquo;s configuration, these being: 
<p>  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)

<p>  2. through providing what you want as the home page in a skin, 
<p>  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. 
<p> 18.1 HOME PAGE AND OTHER CUSTOM BUILT

<p>PAGES IN A SUB-DIRECTORY 
<p>  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: 
<p>    sisu -CC<br>
 
<p> 18.2 HOME PAGE WITHIN A SKIN 
<p>  Skins are described in a separate section,
but basically are a file written in the programming language <b>Ruby</b> 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. 
<p>
 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

<p>poems in skin_poems.rb 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    class Home
      def homepage
        # place the html content of your homepage here, this will become
index.html
        &lt;&lt;HOME &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;doc&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;this is my new homepage.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/doc&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  HOME
      end
    end
</pre>
<p> 19. MARKUP AND OUTPUT EXAMPLES  
<p> 19.1 MARKUP EXAMPLES 
<p>  Current markup examples
and document output samples are provided at &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html</a>
&gt;

<p>  Some markup with syntax highlighting may be found under &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax</a>
&gt;
but is not as up to date. 
<p>  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. 
<p> 20.
SISU SEARCH - INTRODUCTION  
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> output can easily and conveniently be
indexed by a number of standalone indexing tools, such as Lucene, Hyperestraier.

<p>  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. 
<p>  In addition to this <b>SiSU</b> 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. 
<p> 21. SQL  
<p> 21.1 POPULATING SQL TYPE DATABASES

<p>  <b>SiSU</b> feeds sisu markupd documents into sql type databases PostgreSQL[^18]
and/or SQLite[^19] database together with information related to document
structure. 
<p>  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: 
<p>    * one containing semantic
(and other) headers, including, title, author,<br>
   subject, (the Dublin Core...);<br>
 
<p>    * another the substantive texts by individual<br>
   along with structural information, each paragraph being identifiable
by its<br>
   paragraph number (if it has one which almost all of them do), and the<br>
   substantive text of each paragraph quite naturally being searchable
(both in<br>
   formatted and clean text versions for searching); and<br>
 
<p>    * a third containing endnotes cross-referenced back to the paragraph
from<br>
   which they are referenced (both in formatted and clean text versions
for<br>
   searching).<br>
 
<p>    * a fourth table with a one to one relation with the headers table
contains<br>
   full text versions of output, eg. pdf, html, xml, and ascii.<br>
 
<p>  There is of course the possibility to add further structures. 
<p>  At this
level <b>SiSU</b> 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. 
<p>  Being able to search a relational
database at an object level with the <b>SiSU</b> citation system is an effective
way of locating content generated by <b>SiSU</b>  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).

<p> 24.1 SEARCH - DATABASE FRONTEND SAMPLE, UTILISING
DATABASE AND SISU FEATURES, INCLUDING OBJECT CITATION NUMBERING (BACKEND
CURRENTLY POSTGRESQL) 
<p>  Sample search frontend &lt;<a href='http://search.sisudoc.org'>http://search.sisudoc.org</a>
&gt;
[^20] A small database and sample query front-end (search from) that makes
use of the citation system, <i>object</i> citation numbering to demonstrates functionality.[^21]

<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 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, 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. 
<p>  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.[^22]

<p>  Note on databases built 
<p>  By default, [unless &nbsp;otherwise &nbsp;specified] databases
are built on a directory basis, from collections of documents within that
directory. The name of the directory you choose to work from is used as
the database name, i.e. if you are working in a directory called /home/ralph/ebook
the database SiSU_ebook is used. [otherwise &nbsp;a &nbsp;manual &nbsp;mapping &nbsp;for &nbsp;the &nbsp;collection

<p>be copied to the web-server cgi directory 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>sisu -F --webserv-webrick</b> </dt>

</dl>
25. HYPERESTRAIER  
<p>  See the documentation for hyperestraier: 
<p>    &lt;<a href='http://hyperestraier.sourceforge.net/'>http://hyperestraier.sourceforge.net/</a>
&gt;<br>
 
<p>    /usr/share/doc/hyperestraier/index.html<br>
 
<p>    man estcmd<br>
 
<p>  NOTE: the examples that follow assume that sisu output is placed in

<p>the directory /home/ralph/sisu_www 
<p>  (A) to generate the index within the
webserver directory to be indexed: 
<p>    estcmd gather -sd [index &nbsp;name] [directory
&nbsp;path &nbsp;to &nbsp;index]<br>
 
<p>  the following are examples that will need to be tailored according to
your needs: 
<p>    cd /home/ralph/sisu_www<br>
 
<p>    estcmd gather -sd casket /home/ralph/sisu_www<br>
 
<p>  you may use the &rsquo;find&rsquo; command together with &rsquo;egrep&rsquo; to limit indexing to
particular document collection directories within the web server directory:

<p>    find /home/ralph/sisu_www -type f | egrep<br>
   &rsquo;/home/ralph/sisu_www/sisu/.+?.html$&rsquo; |estcmd gather -sd casket -<br>
 
<p>  Check which directories in the webserver/output directory (~/sisu_www
or elsewhere depending on configuration) you wish to include in the search
index. 
<p>  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 &rsquo;plain.txt&rsquo;, &rsquo;toc.html&rsquo; and &rsquo;concordance.html&rsquo;, as
these duplicate information held in other html output e.g. 
<p>    find /home/ralph/sisu_www
-type f | egrep<br>
   &rsquo;/sisu_www/(sisu|bookmarks)/.+?.html$&rsquo; | egrep -v<br>
   &rsquo;(doc|concordance).html$&rsquo; |estcmd gather -sd casket -<br>
 
<p>  from your current document preparation/markup directory, you would construct
a rune along the following lines: 
<p>    find /home/ralph/sisu_www -type f
| egrep &rsquo;/home/ralph/sisu_www/([specify <br>
   first &nbsp;directory &nbsp;for &nbsp;inclusion]|[specify &nbsp;second &nbsp;directory &nbsp;for <br>
   inclusion]|[another &nbsp;directory &nbsp;for &nbsp;inclusion? &nbsp;...])/.+?.html$&rsquo; |<br>
   egrep -v &rsquo;(doc|concordance).html$&rsquo; |estcmd gather -sd<br>
   /home/ralph/sisu_www/casket -<br>
 
<p>  (B) to set up the search form 
<p>  (i) copy estseek.cgi to your cgi directory
and set file permissions to 755: 
<p>    sudo cp -vi /usr/lib/estraier/estseek.cgi
/usr/lib/cgi-bin<br>
 
<p>    sudo chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/cgi-bin/estseek.cgi<br>
 
<p>    sudo cp -v /usr/share/hyperestraier/estseek.* /usr/lib/cgi-bin<br>
 
<p>    [see &nbsp;estraier &nbsp;documentation &nbsp;for &nbsp;paths]<br>
 
<p>  (ii) edit estseek.conf, with attention to the lines starting &rsquo;indexname:&rsquo;
and &rsquo;replace:&rsquo;: 
<p>    indexname: /home/ralph/sisu_www/casket<br>
 
<p>    replace: ^file:///home/ralph/sisu_www{{!}}<a href='http://localhost'>http://localhost</a>
<br>
 
<p>    replace: /index.html?${{!}}/<br>
 
<p>  (C) to test using webrick, start webrick: 
<p>    sisu -W<br>
 
<p>  and try open the url: &lt;<a href='http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/estseek.cgi'>http://localhost:8081/cgi-bin/estseek.cgi</a>

<p> 26. SISU_WEBRICK
 
<p> 26.1 NAME 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> - Structured information, Serialized Units - a document

<p>publishing system 
<p> 26.2 SYNOPSIS 
<p>  sisu_webrick [port] 
<p>  or 
<p>  sisu -W [port]

<p> 26.3 DESCRIPTION 
<p>  sisu_webrick is part of <b>SiSU</b> (man sisu) sisu_webrick
starts <b>Ruby</b> &rsquo;s Webrick web-server and points it to the directories to which
<b>SiSU</b> output is written, providing a list of these directories (assuming
<b>SiSU</b> is in use and they exist). 
<p>  The default port for sisu_webrick is set
to 8081, this may be modified in the yaml file: ~/.sisu/sisurc.yml a sample
of which is provided as /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml (or in the equivalent directory
on your system). 
<p> 26.4 SUMMARY OF MAN PAGE 
<p>  sisu_webrick, may be started
on it&rsquo;s own with the command: sisu_webrick [port] or using the sisu command
with the -W flag: sisu -W [port] 
<p>  where no port is given and settings are

<p>unchanged the default port is 8081 
<p> 26.5 DOCUMENT PROCESSING COMMAND FLAGS

<p>  sisu -W [port] starts <b>Ruby</b> Webrick web-server, serving <b>SiSU</b> output directories,
on the port provided, or if no port is provided and the defaults have not

<p>been changed in ~/.sisu/sisurc.yaml then on port 8081

<p> 27. REMOTE SOURCE DOCUMENTS  
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 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</b>
documents can either be sisu marked up files in plaintext .sst or .ssm or;
zipped sisu files, sisupod.zip or filename.ssp 
<p>  <b>.sst / .ssm - sisu text files</b>

<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 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. 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  sisu -3 http://[provide &nbsp;url &nbsp;to &nbsp;valid &nbsp;.sst &nbsp;or &nbsp;.ssm &nbsp;file]
</pre>
<p>  Any of the source documents in the sisu examples page can be used in
this way, see &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html</a>
&gt; and use the url
for the desired document. 
<p>  NOTE: to set up a remote machine to serve <b>SiSU</b>
documents in this way, images should be in the directory relative to the

<p>document source ../_sisu/image 
<p>  <b>sisupod - zipped sisu files</b> 
<p>  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. 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 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. 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  sisu -3 http://[provide &nbsp;url &nbsp;to &nbsp;valid &nbsp;sisupod.zip &nbsp;or &nbsp;.ssp &nbsp;file]
</pre>
<p>  Any of the source documents in the sisu examples page can be used in
this way, see &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html</a>
&gt; and use the url
for the desired document. 
<p> REMOTE DOCUMENT OUTPUT  
<p> 28. REMOTE OUTPUT  
<p> 
Once properly configured <b>SiSU</b> output can be automatically posted once generated
to a designated remote machine using either rsync, or scp. 
<p>  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. 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  sisu -3R sisu_remote.sst
</pre>
<p> 28.1 COMMANDS 
<p> 
<dl>

<dt><b>-R [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>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 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 
<p> </dd>

<dt><b>-r [filename/wildcard]</b> </dt>
<dd>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

<p>your 
<p> </dd>
</dl>
28.2 CONFIGURATION 
<p>  [expand &nbsp;on &nbsp;the &nbsp;setting &nbsp;up &nbsp;of &nbsp;an &nbsp;ssh-agent &nbsp;/ &nbsp;keychain]

<p> 29. REMOTE SERVERS  
<p>  As <b>SiSU</b> is generally operated using the command line,
and works within a Unix type environment, <b>SiSU</b> 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. 
<p> 30. QUICKSTART - GETTING STARTED HOWTO
 
<p> 30.1 INSTALLATION 
<p>  Installation is currently most straightforward and
tested on the <b>Debian</b> platform, as there are packages for the installation
of sisu and all requirements for what it does. 
<p> 30.1.1 DEBIAN INSTALLATION

<p>  <b>SiSU</b> is available directly from the <b>Debian</b> Sid and testing archives (and
possibly Ubuntu), assuming your /etc/apt/sources.list is set accordingly:

<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    aptitude update
    aptitude install sisu-complete
</pre>
<p>  The following /etc/apt/sources.list setting permits the download of additional
markup samples: 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  #/etc/apt/sources.list
    deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
  d
</pre>
<p>  The aptitude commands become: 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    aptitude update
    aptitude install sisu-complete sisu-markup-samples
</pre>
<p>  If there are newer versions of <b>SiSU</b> upstream of the <b>Debian</b> archives,

<p>they will be available by adding the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list

<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  #/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
</pre>
<p>  repeat the aptitude commands 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    aptitude update
    aptitude install sisu-complete sisu-markup-samples
</pre>
<p>  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. 
<p> 30.1.2 RPM INSTALLATION 
<p>  RPMs are provided
though untested, they are prepared by running alien against the source
package, and against the debs. 
<p>  They may be downloaded from: 
<p>    &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#rpm'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#rpm</a>
&gt;<br>
 
<p>  as root type: 
<p>    rpm -i [rpm &nbsp;package &nbsp;name]<br>
 
<p> 30.1.3 INSTALLATION FROM SOURCE 
<p>  To install <b>SiSU</b> from source check information
at: 
<p>    &lt;<a href='http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#current'>http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#current</a>
&gt;<br>
 
<p>  * download the source package 
<p>  * Unpack the source 
<p>  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: 
<p>  For basic use
<b>SiSU</b> is only dependent on the programming language in which it is written
<b>Ruby</b> , and <b>SiSU</b> will be able to generate html, 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)[^23] or converting LaTeX to pdf. 
<p>  <b>setup.rb</b> 
<p>  This
is a standard ruby installer, using setup.rb is a three step process. In
the root directory of the unpacked <b>SiSU</b> as root type: 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>      ruby setup.rb config
      ruby setup.rb setup
      #[and &nbsp;as &nbsp;root:]
      ruby setup.rb install
</pre>
<p>  further information on setup.rb is available from: 
<p>    &lt;<a href='http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/'>http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/</a>
&gt;<br>
 
<p>    &lt;<a href='http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/doc/usage.html'>http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/doc/usage.html</a>
&gt;<br>
 
<p>  <b></b> 
<p>  The root directory of the unpacked <b>SiSU</b> as root type: 
<p>    ruby install
base<br>
 
<p>  or for a more complete installation: 
<p>    ruby install<br>
 
<p>  or 
<p>    ruby install base<br>
 
<p>  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.

&gt;<br>
 
<p>  For a list of alternative actions you may type: 
<p>    ruby install help<br>
 
<p>    ruby install -T<br>
 
<p> 30.2 TESTING SISU, GENERATING OUTPUT 
<p>  To check which version of sisu
is installed: 
<p>  sisu -v 
<p>  Depending on your mode of installation one or
a number of markup sample files may be found either in the directory: 
<p>
  
<p>  or 
<p>   
<p>  change directory to the appropriate one: 
<p>  cd /usr/share/doc/sisu/v1/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg

<p> 30.2.1 BASIC TEXT, PLAINTEXT, HTML, XML, ODF 
<p>  Having moved to the directory
that contains the markup samples (see instructions above if necessary),

<p>choose a file and run sisu against it 
<p>  sisu -NhwoabxXyv free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst

<p>  this will generate html including a concordance file, opendocument text
format, plaintext, XHTML and various forms of XML, and OpenDocument text

<p> 30.2.2 LATEX / PDF 
<p>  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</b> ) 
<p>  Having moved to the directory that contains the markup
samples (see instructions above if necessary), choose a file and run sisu

<p>against it 
<p>  sisu -pv free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst

<p>  sisu -3 free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst 
<p>  should
generate most available output formats: html including a concordance file,
opendocument text format, plaintext, XHTML and various forms of XML, and

<p>OpenDocument text and pdf 
<p> 30.2.3 RELATIONAL DATABASE - POSTGRESQL, SQLITE

<p>  Relational databases need some setting up - you must have permission to
create the database and write to it when you run sisu. 
<p>  Assuming you have

<p>the database installed and the requisite permissions 
<p>  sisu --sqlite --recreate

<p>  sisu --sqlite -v --import free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst

<p>  sisu --pgsql --recreate 
<p>  sisu --pgsql -v --import free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst

<p> 30.3 GETTING HELP 
<p> 30.3.1 THE MAN PAGES 
<p>  Type:

&nbsp;sisu &nbsp;markup] 
<p> 32. HOW DOES SISU WORK?  
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 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</b> 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&rsquo;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). 
<p> 33. SUMMARY OF FEATURES  
<p>  * 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 headers
are optional. 
<p>  * markup is easily readable/parsable by the human eye, (basic
markup is simpler and more sparse than the most basic HTML), [this &nbsp;may
&nbsp;also &nbsp;be &nbsp;converted &nbsp;to &nbsp;XML &nbsp;representations &nbsp;of &nbsp;the &nbsp;same &nbsp;input/source &nbsp;document].

<p>  * 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</b> 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 &nbsp;that &nbsp;paper &nbsp;publication, &nbsp;sql &nbsp;search &nbsp;etc.] (html,
xml, odf, latex, pdf, sql) 
<p>  * 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: 
<p>    * html - both as a single scrollable text and a segmented document<br>
 
<p>    * xhtml<br>
 
<p>    * XML - both in sax and dom style xml structures for further development
as<br>
   required<br>
 
<p>    * ODF - open document format, the iso standard for document storage<br>
 
<p>    * LaTeX - used to generate pdf<br>
 
<p>    * pdf (via LaTeX)<br>
 
<p>    * sql - population of an sql database, (at the same object level that
is<br>
   used to cite text within a document)<br>
 
<p>  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)) 
<p>  *
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, xml, sqlite, postgresql), this numbering
system can be used to reference content. 
<p>  * 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 &nbsp;indexing &nbsp;also &nbsp;work
&nbsp;well &nbsp;with &nbsp;search &nbsp;indexing tools &nbsp;like &nbsp;hyperestraier]. 
<p>  * 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 (open document text) module in 2006
and in future html5 output sometime in future, without modification of

<p>existing prepared texts 
<p>  * SQL search aside, documents are generated as
required and static once generated. 
<p>  * 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)

<p>  * document source (plaintext utf-8) if shared on the net may be used as

<p>input and processed locally to produce the different document outputs 
<p>
 * 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

<p>these too may be processed locally to produce the desired document outputs

<p>  * generated document outputs may automatically be posted to remote sites.

<p>  * for basic document generation, the only software dependency is <b>Ruby</b>
, and a few standard Unix tools (this covers plaintext, HTML, 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. 
<p>  * as a developers

<p>tool it is flexible and extensible 
<p>  Syntax highlighting for <b>SiSU</b> markup
is available for a number of text editors. 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> 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

<p>search of content 
<p>  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)... 
<p>  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.
