It has been +developed in the context of coping with large document sets with evolving +markup related technologies, for which you want multiple output formats, a +common mechanism for cross\-output\-format citation, and search. + +.BR +.B SiSU +both defines a markup syntax and provides an engine that produces open +standards format outputs from documents prepared with +.B SiSU +markup. From a single lightly prepared document sisu custom builds several +standard output formats which share a common (text object) numbering system for +citation of content within a document (that also has implications for search). +The sisu engine works with an abstraction of the document\'s structure and +content from which it is possible to generate different forms of representation +of the document. Significantly +.B SiSU +markup is more sparse than html and outputs which include html, LaTeX, +landscape and portrait pdfs, Open Document Format (ODF), all of which can be +added to and updated. +.B SiSU +is also able to populate SQL type databases at an object level, which means +that searches can be made with that degree of granularity. Results of objects +(primarily paragraphs and headings) can be viewed directly in the database, or +just the object numbers shown \- your search criteria is met in these documents +and at these locations within each document. + +.BR +Source document preparation and output generation is a two step process: (i) +document source is prepared, that is, marked up in sisu markup syntax and (ii) +the desired output subsequently generated by running the sisu engine against +document source. Output representations if updated (in the sisu engine) can be +generated by re\-running the engine against the prepared source. Using +.B SiSU +markup applied to a document, +.B SiSU +custom builds various standard open output formats including plain text, +HTML, XHTML, XML, OpenDocument, LaTeX or PDF files, and populate an SQL +database with objects[^3] (equating generally to paragraph\-sized chunks) so +searches may be performed and matches returned with that degree of granularity +( e.g. your search criteria is met by these documents and at these locations +within each document). Document output formats share a common object numbering +system for locating content. This is particularly suitable for \"published\" +works (finalized texts as opposed to works that are frequently changed or +updated) for which it provides a fixed means of reference of content. - column one row three - and so on - here +.BR +In preparing a +.B SiSU +document you optionally provide semantic information related to the document +in a document header, and in marking up the substantive text provide +information on the structure of the document, primarily indicating heading +levels and footnotes. You also provide information on basic text attributes +where used. The rest is automatic, sisu from this information custom builds[^4] +the different forms of output requested. -.I }table +.BR +.B SiSU +works with an abstraction of the document based on its structure which is +comprised of its frame[^5] and the objects[^6] it contains, which enables +.B SiSU +to represent the document in many different ways, and to take advantage of +the strengths of different ways of presenting documents. The objects are +numbered, and these numbers can be used to provide a common base for citing +material within a document across the different output format types. This is +significant as page numbers are not suited to the digital age, in web +publishing, changing a browser\'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. -whole table gets an object citation number +.BR +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 +provides the flexibility of outputing documents in multiple non\-proprietary +open formats including html, pdf[^7] and the ISO standard ODF.[^8] Whilst +.B SiSU +relies on software, the markup is uncomplicated and minimalistic which +guarantees that future engines can be written to run against it. It is also +easily converted to other formats, which means documents prepared in +.B SiSU +can be migrated to other document formats. Further security is provided by +the fact that the software itself, +.B SiSU +is available under GPL3 a licence that guarantees that the source code will +always be open, and free as in libre which means that that code base can be +used updated and further developed as required under the terms of its license. +Another challenge is to keep up with a moving target. +.B SiSU +permits new forms of output to be added as they become important, (Open +Document Format text was added in 2006), 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). -.\" %% Markup other grouped text -.SH "Other Grouped or Pre\-formatted Text" -.I poem{ +.BR +The document formats are written to the file\-system and available for indexing +by independent indexing tools, whether off the web like Google and Yahoo or on +the site like Lucene and Hyperestraier. - [Text here] +.BR +.B SiSU +also provides other features such as concordance files and document content +certificates, and the working against an abstraction of document structure has +further possibilities for the research and development of other document +representations, the availability of objects is useful for example for topic +maps and the commercial law thesaurus by Vikki Rogers and Al Krtizer, together +with the flexibility of +.B SiSU +offers great possibilities. - [Text here] +.BR +.B SiSU +is primarily for published works, which can take advantage of the citation +system to reliably reference its documents. +.B SiSU +works well in a complementary manner with such collaborative technologies as +Wikis, which can take advantage of and be used to discuss the substance of +content prepared in +.B SiSU +. -.I }poem +.BR + -each verse is given an object citation number +.SH +2. HOW DOES SISU WORK? +.BR - \-\-\-\- +.BR +.B SiSU +markup is fairly minimalistic, it consists of: a (largely optional) document +header, made up of information about the document (such as when it was +published, who authored it, and granting what rights) and any processing +instructions; and markup within the substantive text of the document, which is +related to document structure and typeface. +.B SiSU +must be able to discern the structure of a document, (text headings and their +levels in relation to each other), either from information provided in the +document header or from markup within the text (or from a combination of both). +Processing is done against an abstraction of the document comprising of +information on the document\'s structure and its objects,[2] which the program +serializes (providing the object numbers) and which are assigned hash sum +values based on their content. This abstraction of information about document +structure, objects, (and hash sums), provides considerable flexibility in +representing documents different ways and for different purposes (e.g. search, +document layout, publishing, content certification, concordance etc.), and +makes it possible to take advantage of some of the strengths of established +ways of representing documents, (or indeed to create new ones). + +.SH +3.

The documents required may 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 mainly from other documents), by convention it should be named with the suffix -.I .ssm -(master) -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 -.I .sst -regular markup file, or -.I .ssi -(insert/information) -.I .sst -A secondary file of the composite document is built prior to processing with the same prefix and the suffix -.I ._sst -and -.I .\_sst -There are a number of alternative syntaxes for requiring external documents in order to permit use of ascii hypertext linking available in the vim editor. They are as follows: +.BR + * pdf (via LaTeX) -.TP -basic markup for importing a document +.BR + * sql \- population of an sql database, (at the same object level that is + used to cite text within a document) -.I r{ -filename -.I } +.BR +Also produces: concordance files; document content certificates (md5 or sha256 +digests of headings, paragraphs, images etc.) and html manifests (and sitemaps +of content).

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. -.I << { -filename.si -.I } -#for vim folds +.BR +* Granular search within documents. SQL databases are populated at an object +level (roughly headings, paragraphs, verse, tables) and become searchable with +that degree of granularity, the output information provides the +object/paragraph numbers which are relevant across all generated outputs; it is +also possible to look at just the matching paragraphs of the documents in the +database; \ [output \ indexing \ also \ work \ well \ with \ search \ indexing +\ tools \ like \ hyperestraier]. -.TP -importing a document with textlink syntax +.BR +* long term maintainability of document collections in a world of changing +formats, having a very sparsely marked\-up source document base. there is a +considerable degree of future\-proofing, output representations are +\"upgradeable\", and new document formats may be added. e.g. addition of odf +(open document text) module in 2006 and in future html5 output sometime in +future, without modification of existing prepared texts -.I |filename.si|@|^|require +.BR +* SQL search aside, documents are generated as required and static once +generated. -.I << |filename.si|@|^| -#for vim folds +.BR +* documents produced are static files, and may be batch processed, this needs +to be done only once but may be repeated for various reasons as desired +(updated content, addition of new output formats, updated technology document +presentations/representations) -.TP -importing a document with thlnk syntax +.BR +* document source (plaintext utf\-8) if shared on the net may be used as input +and processed locally to produce the different document outputs -.I require +.BR +* document source may be bundled together (automatically) with associated +documents (multiple language versions or master document with inclusions) and +images and sent as a zip file called a sisupod, if shared on the net these too +may be processed locally to produce the desired document outputs -.I << -#for vim folds +.BR +* generated document outputs may automatically be posted to remote sites. -.TP -remote documents may be called with the thlnk syntax (or regular sisu syntax), e.g. +.BR +* for basic document generation, the only software dependency is +.B Ruby +, and a few standard Unix tools (this covers plaintext, HTML, XML, ODF, +LaTeX).

COMPOSITE DOCUMENTS MARKUP +.BR + +.BR +It is possible to build a document by creating a master document that requires +other documents.

SISU FILETYPES +.BR + +.BR +.B SiSU +has plaintext and binary filetypes, and can process either type of document. + +.SH +14.1 .SST .SSM .SSI MARKED UP PLAIN TEXT + +.BR +.B SiSU +documents are prepared as plain\-text (utf\-8) files with +.B SiSU +markup. They may make reference to and contain images (for example), which +are stored in the directory beneath them _sisu/image. +.B SiSU +plaintext markup files are of three types that may be distinguished by the +file extension used: regular text .sst; master documents, composite documents +that incorporate other text, which can be any regular text or text insert; and +inserts the contents of which are like regular text except these are marked +.ssi and are not processed. + +.BR +.B SiSU +processing can be done directly against a sisu documents; which may be +located locally or on a remote server for which a url is provided. + +.BR +.B SiSU +source markup can be shared with the command: + +.BR + sisu \-s \ [filename] + +.SH +14.1.1 SISU TEXT \- REGULAR FILES (.SST) + +.BR +The most common form of document in +.B SiSU +, see the section on +.B SiSU +markup. + +.BR + + +.BR + + +.SH +14.1.2 SISU MASTER FILES (.SSM) + +.BR +Composite documents which incorporate other +.B SiSU +documents which may be either regular +.B SiSU +text .sst which may be generated independently, or inserts prepared solely +for the purpose of being incorporated into one or more master documents. + +.BR +The mechanism by which master files incorporate other documents is described as +one of the headings under under +.B SiSU +markup in the +.B SiSU +manual. + +.BR +Note: Master documents may be prepared in a similar way to regular documents, +and processing will occur normally if a .sst file is renamed .ssm without +requiring any other documents; the .ssm marker flags that the document may +contain other documents. + +.BR +Note: a secondary file of the composite document is built prior to processing +with the same prefix and the suffix ._sst \ [^22] + +.BR + + +.BR + + +.SH +14.1.3 SISU INSERT FILES (.SSI) + +.BR +Inserts are documents prepared solely for the purpose of being incorporated +into one or more master documents. They resemble regular +.B SiSU +text files except they are ignored by the +.B SiSU +processor. Making a file a .ssi file is a quick and convenient way of +flagging that it is not intended that the file should be processed on its own. + +.SH +14.2 SISUPOD, ZIPPED BINARY CONTAINER (SISUPOD.ZIP, .SSP) + +.BR +A sisupod is a zipped +.B SiSU +text file or set of +.B SiSU +text files and any associated images that they contain (this will be extended +to include sound and multimedia\-files) + +.BR +.B SiSU +plaintext files rely on a recognised directory structure to find contents +such as images associated with documents, but all images for example for all +documents contained in a directory are located in the sub\-directory +_sisu/image. Without the ability to create a sisupod it can be inconvenient to +manually identify all other files associated with a document.

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 +17. 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 +17.1 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 +17.2 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 +17.3 SITE SKIN + +.BR +A site skin, modifies the program default skin. + +.SH +17.4 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 +18. CSS \- CASCADING STYLE SHEETS (FOR HTML, XHTML AND XML) +.BR + +.BR +CSS files to modify the appearance of +.B SiSU +html, XHTML or XML may be placed in the configuration directory: ./_sisu/css; +~/.sisu/css or; /etc/sisu/css and these will be copied to the output +directories with the command sisu \-CC. + +.BR +The basic CSS file for html output is html.css, placing a file of that name in +directory _sisu/css or equivalent will result in the default file of that name +being overwritten. + +.BR +HTML: html.css + +.BR +XML DOM: dom.css + +.BR +XML SAX: sax.css + +.BR +XHTML: xhtml.css + +.BR +The default homepage may use homepage.css or html.css + +.BR +Under consideration is to permit the placement of a CSS file with a different +name in directory _sisu/css directory or equivalent, and change the default CSS +file that is looked for in a skin.[^23] + +.SH +19. ORGANISING CONTENT +.BR + +.SH +19.1 DIRECTORY STRUCTURE AND MAPPING + +.BR +The output directory root can be set in the sisurc.yml file. Under the root, +subdirectories are made for each directory in which a document set resides. If +you have a directory named poems or conventions, that directory will be created +under the output directory root and the output for all documents contained in +the directory of a particular name will be generated to subdirectories beneath +that directory (poem or conventions). A document will be placed in a +subdirectory of the same name as the document with the filetype identifier +stripped (.sst .ssm) + +.BR +The last part of a directory path, representing the sub\-directory in which a +document set resides, is the directory name that will be used for the output +directory. This has implications for the organisation of document collections +as it could make sense to place documents of a particular subject, or type +within a directory identifying them. This grouping as suggested could be by +subject (sales_law, english_literature); or just as conveniently by some other +classification (X University). The mapping means it is also possible to place +in the same output directory documents that are for organisational purposes +kept separately, for example documents on a given subject of two different +institutions may be kept in two different directories of the same name, under a +directory named after each institution, and these would be output to the same +output directory. Skins could be associated with each institution on a +directory basis and resulting documents will take on the appropriate different +appearance. + +.SH +19.2 ORGANISING CONTENT + +.SH +20. 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 +20.1 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 +20.2 HOME PAGE WITHIN A SKIN + +.BR +Skins are described in a separate section, but basically are a file written in +the programming language +.B Ruby +that may be provided to change the defaults that are provided with sisu with +respect to individual documents, a directories contents or for a site. + +.BR +If you wish to provide a homepage within a skin the skin should be in the +directory _sisu/skin/dir and have the name of the directory for which it is to +become the home page. Documents in the directory commercial_law would have the +homepage modified in skin_commercial law.rb; or the directory poems in +skin_poems.rb + + +.nf + class Home + def homepage + # place the html content of your homepage here, this will become index.html + < + + +

this is my new homepage.

MARKUP AND OUTPUT EXAMPLES +.BR + +.SH +21.1 MARKUP EXAMPLES + +.BR +Current markup examples and document output samples are provided at + + +.BR +Some markup with syntax highlighting may be found under + but is not as up to date. + +.BR +For some documents hardly any markup at all is required at all, other than a +header, and an indication that the levels to be taken into account by the +program in generating its output are. + +.SH +22. SISU SEARCH \- INTRODUCTION +.BR + +.BR +.B SiSU +output can easily and conveniently be indexed by a number of standalone +indexing tools, such as Lucene, Hyperestraier. + +.BR +Because the document structure of sites created is clearly defined, and the +text object citation system is available hypothetically at least, for all forms +of output, it is possible to search the sql database, and either read results +from that database, or just as simply map the results to the html output, which +has richer text markup. + +.BR +In addition to this +.B SiSU +has the ability to populate a relational sql type database with documents at +an object level, with objects numbers that are shared across different output +types, which make them searchable with that degree of granularity. Basically, +your match criteria is met by these documents and at these locations within +each document, which can be viewed within the database directly or in various +output formats. + +.SH +23. SQL +.BR + +.SH +23.1 POPULATING SQL TYPE DATABASES + +.BR +.B SiSU +feeds sisu markupd documents into sql type databases PostgreSQL[^24] and/or +SQLite[^25] database together with information related to document structure. + +.BR +This is one of the more interesting output forms, as all the structural data of +the documents are retained (though can be ignored by the user of the database +should they so choose). All site texts/documents are (currently) streamed to +four tables: + +.BR + * one containing semantic (and other) headers, including, title, author, + subject, (the Dublin Core...); + +.BR + * another the substantive texts by individual \"paragraph\" (or object) \- + along with structural information, each paragraph being identifiable by its + paragraph number (if it has one which almost all of them do), and the + substantive text of each paragraph quite naturally being searchable (both in + formatted and clean text versions for searching); and + +.BR + * a third containing endnotes cross\-referenced back to the paragraph from + which they are referenced (both in formatted and clean text versions for + searching). + +.BR + * a fourth table with a one to one relation with the headers table contains + full text versions of output, eg. pdf, html, xml, and ascii. + +.BR +There is of course the possibility to add further structures. + +.BR +At this level +.B SiSU +loads a relational database with documents chunked into objects, their +smallest logical structurally constituent parts, as text objects, with their +object citation number and all other structural information needed to construct +the document. Text is stored (at this text object level) with and without +elementary markup tagging, the stripped version being so as to facilitate ease +of searching. + +.BR +Being able to search a relational database at an object level with the +.B SiSU +citation system is an effective way of locating content generated by +.B SiSU +. As individual text objects of a document stored (and indexed) together with +object numbers, and all versions of the document have the same numbering, +complex searches can be tailored to return just the locations of the search +results relevant for all available output formats, with live links to the +precise locations in the database or in html/xml documents; or, the structural +information provided makes it possible to search the full contents of the +database and have headings in which search content appears, or to search only +headings etc. (as the Dublin Core is incorporated it is easy to make use of +that as well). + +.SH +24.
