+.BR
+
+.SH
+1.1 SISU MANUAL
+
+.BR
+The most up to date information on sisu should be contained in the sisu_manual,
+available at:
+
+.BR
+  <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_manual/>
+
+.BR
+and (from
+.B SiSU
+0.59 onwards) installed locally at:
+
+.BR
+  /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_manual/
+
+.BR
+or equivalent directory
+
+.BR
+Within the
+.B SiSU
+tarball at:
+
+.BR
+  ./data/doc/sisu/sisu_manual/
+
+.SH
+1.2 SISU MAN PAGES
+
+.BR
+If
+.B SiSU
+is installed on your system usual man commands should be available, try:
+
+.BR
+  man sisu
+
+.BR
+  man sisu_markup
+
+.BR
+  man sisu_commands
+
+.BR
+Most
+.B SiSU
+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
+tarball at:
+
+.BR
+  ./data/doc/sisu/sisu_manual/
+
+.BR
+Once installed, directory equivalent to:
+
+.BR
+  /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_manual/
+
+.BR
+Available man pages are converted back to html using man2html:
+
+.BR
+  /usr/share/doc/sisu/html/
+
+.BR
+  ./data/doc/sisu/html/
+
+.BR
+The
+.B SiSU
+man pages can be viewed online at:[^1]
+
+.BR
+An online version of the sisu man page is available here:
+
+.BR
+* various sisu man pages <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/man/> \ [^2]

+1.3 SISU BUILT\-IN INTERACTIVE HELP
+
+.BR
+This is particularly useful when current installation information is obtained
+as the interactive help is able to provide information on your sisu
+configuration and setup.
+
+.BR
+  sisu \-\-help
+
+.BR
+  sisu \-\-help \ [subject]
+
+.BR
+    sisu \-\-help env \ [for \ feedback \ on \ the \ way \ your \ system \ is \
+    setup \ with \ regard \ to \ sisu]
+
+.BR
+    sisu \-V \ [same \ as \ above \ command]
+
+.BR
+    sisu \-\-help commands
+
+.BR
+    sisu \-\-help markup
+
+.BR
+Apart from real\-time information on your current configuration the
+.B SiSU
+manual and man pages are likely to contain more up\-to\-date information than
+the sisu interactive help (for example on commands and markup).
+
+.BR
+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.
+
+.SH
+1.4 HELP SOURCES
+
+.BR
