SISU - README ============= INTRODUCTION ************ INTRODUCTION - WHAT IS SISU? ---------------------------- *SiSU* is a lightweight markup based document creation and publishing framework that is controlled from the command line. Prepare documents for *SiSU* using your text editor of choice, then use *SiSU* to generate various output document formats. From a single lightly prepared document (plain-text /UTF-8/) 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. *SiSU* produces: plain-text, /HTML/, /XHTML/, /XML/, /EPUB/, /ODF/: /ODT/ (Opendocument), /LaTeX/, /PDF/, and populates an /SQL/ database (/PostgreSQL/ or /SQLite/) with text objects, roughly, paragraph sized chunks so that document searches are done at this level of granularity. Outputs share a common citation numbering system, associated with text objects and any semantic meta-data provided about the document. *SiSU* also provides concordance files, document content certificates and manifests of generated output. Book indexes may be made. Some document markup samples are provided in the package sisu -markup-samples. Homepages: * <http://www.sisudoc.org/> * <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu> INSTALL OR RUN WITHOUT INSTALLATION *********************************** SOURCE TREE ----------- RUN OFF SOURCE PACKAGE DIRECTORY TREE (WITHOUT INSTALLING) .......................................................... Download & unpack the latest source tarball or Git clone the latest source, to clone the latest source without the repo history: git clone --depth 1 git://git.sisudoc.org/git/code/sisu.git --branch upstream Provided you have *Ruby*, *SiSU* can be run without installation straight from the source package directory tree. Run ruby against the full path to bin/sisu (in the unzipped source package directory tree) Note however, that additional external package dependencies, such as texlive (for pdfs), sqlite3 or postgresql (for search) should you desire to use them are not taken care of for you. GEM INSTALL ........... Gem install, you need to: (i) create the gemspec; (ii) build the gem (from the gemspec); (iii) install the gem ---------------------------------------- GEM INSTALL WITH QI (QUICK INSTALL) SCRIPT .......................................... (This requires that ruby -thor is installed). qi (quick install) can go through the steps required to install the gem: qi gem --create --build --install --stable or qi gem --create --build --install --unstable ---------------------------------------- GEM INSTALL WITH RAKE ..................... Provided you have ruby & rake, this can be done with the single command: rake gem_create_build_install # (to build and install, alias gemcbi) for individual steps (create, build, install) see rake options, rake -T to specify sisu version for sisu installed via gem For a list of alternative actions you may type: rake help rake -T Rake: <http://rake.rubyforge.org/> <http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=50> ---------------------------------------- MISC GEM ........ gem search sisu sisu _7.0.0_ --version sisu _7.0.0_ --version to uninstall sisu installed via gem sudo gem uninstall --verbose sisu DIRECT INSTALLATION WITH QI (QUICK INSTALL) SCRIPT .................................................. (This requires that ruby -thor is installed). Root will be requested as required: qi setup --bin --lib --conf --data --share --man or qi setup --all You may wish to do a dryrun to see where files would be installed without copying them, to do so add the flag --dryrun INSTALLATION WITH SETUP.RB .......................... It should also be possible to install sisu using setup.rb this is a three step process, in the root directory of the unpacked *SiSU* as root type: ruby setup.rb config ruby setup.rb setup #[as root:] ruby setup.rb install further information: <http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/> <http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/doc/usage.html> ruby setup.rb config && ruby setup.rb setup && sudo ruby setup.rb install UNIX/LINUX DISTRIBUTION ----------------------- A distribution install should take care of the dependencies of sisu for producing various outputs. DEBIAN ...... *SiSU* is available off the *Debian* archives. It should necessary only to run as root, Using apt-get: apt-get update apt get install sisu-complete (all sisu dependencies should be taken care of) If there are newer versions of *SiSU* upstream, they will be available by adding the following to your sources list /etc/apt/sources.list #/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 The non-free section is for sisu markup samples provided, which contain authored works the substantive text of which cannot be changed, and which as a result do not meet the debian free software guidelines. *SiSU* is developed on *Debian*, and packages are available for *Debian* that take care of the dependencies encountered on installation. The package is divided into the following components: *sisu*, the base code, (the main package on which the others depend), without any dependencies other than ruby (and for convenience the ruby webrick web server), this generates a number of types of output on its own, other packages provide additional functionality, and have their dependencies *sisu-complete*, a dummy package that installs the whole of greater sisu as described below, apart from sisu -examples *sisu-pdf*, dependencies used by sisu to produce pdf from /LaTeX/ generated *sisu-postgresql*, dependencies used by sisu to populate postgresql database (further configuration is necessary) *sisu-sqlite*, dependencies used by sisu to populate sqlite database *sisu-markup-samples*, sisu markup samples and other miscellany (under *Debian* Free Software Guidelines non-free) *SiSU* is available off Debian Unstable and Testing [link: <http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all&keywords=sisu>] [^1] install it using apt-get, aptitude or alternative *Debian* install tools. DEPENDENCIES ------------ Here is a list of sisu' s current dependencies,[^2] which depend on such factors as whether you want to generate pdf, whether you will be using *SiSU* with or without a database, ...). sisu_markup-samples may also be of interest.

Makes use of header metadata fields (author, title, date, topic_register). Can be used with maintenance (-M) and remote placement (-R) flags. *--html [filename/wildcard]* produces html output, in two forms (i) segmented text with table of contents (toc.html and index.html) and (ii) the document in a single file (scroll.html). Alias -h *--html-scroll [filename/wildcard]* produces html output, the document in a single file (scroll.html) only.

The sisu config file must set the output directory structure to multilingual. v3, experimental *-Q [filename/wildcard]* see --qrcode *-q [filename/wildcard]* see --quiet *--qrcode [filename/wildcard]* generate QR code image of metadata (used in manifest). *--quiet [filename/wildcard]* quiet less output to screen. *-R [filename/wildcard]* see --rsync *-r [filename/wildcard]* see --scp *--redirect[=directory_path] [filename/wildcard]* places output in subdirectory under specified directory, subdirectory uses the filename (without the suffix). If no output directory is specified places the subdirectory under the current directory (pwd). Unlike using default settings /HTML/ files have embedded css. Compare --dump *--rst [filename/wildcard/url]* ReST (rST restructured text) smart text (not available) *--rsync [filename/wildcard]* copies sisu output files to remote host using rsync. This requires that sisurc.yml has been provided with information on hostname and username, and that you have your "keys" and ssh agent in place. Note the behavior of rsync different if -R is used with other flags from if used alone. Alone the rsync --delete parameter is sent, useful for cleaning the remote directory (when -R is used together with other flags, it is not). Also see --scp. Alias -R *-S* see --sisupod *-S [filename/wildcard]* see --sisupod *-s [filename/wildcard]* see --source *--sample-search-form [--db-(pg|sqlite)]* generate examples of (naive) cgi search form for /SQLite/ or PgSQL depends on your already having used sisu to populate an /SQLite/ 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 --sqlite & --pg and the database section below. Optional additional parameters: --db-user='www-data'. 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). Alias -F *--sax [filename/wildcard/url]* see --xml-sax *--scp [filename/wildcard]* copies sisu output files to remote host using scp. This requires that sisurc.yml has been provided with information on hostname and username, and that you have your "keys" and ssh agent in place. Also see --rsync. Alias -r *--sha256* set hash digest where used to sha256 *--sha512* set hash digest where used to sha512 *--sqlite-[instruction] [filename]* database type set to /SQLite/, this produces one of two possible databases, without additional database related instructions it produces a discreet /SQLite/ file for the document processed; with additional instructions it produces a common /SQLite/ database of all processed documents that (come from the same document preparation directory and as a result) share the same output directory base path (possible instructions include: --sqlite-createdb; --sqlite-create; --sqlite-dropall; --sqlite-import [filename]; --sqlite-update [filename]; --sqlite-remove [filename]); see database section below. *--sisupod* 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 option is tested only with zsh). Alias -S *--sisupod [filename/wildcard]* 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. *SiSU* commands can be run directly against a sisupod contained in a local directory, or provided as a url on a remote site. As there is a security issue with skins provided by other users, they are not applied unless the flag --trust or --trusted is added to the command instruction, it is recommended that file that are not your own are treated as untrusted. The directory structure of the unzipped file is understood by sisu, and sisu commands can be run within it. Note: if you wish to send multiple files, it quickly becomes more space efficient to zip the sisu markup directory, rather than the individual files for sending). See the -S option without [filename/wildcard]. Alias -S *--source [filename/wildcard]* copies sisu markup file to output directory. Alias -s *--strict* together with --html, produces more w3c compliant html, for example not having purely numeric identifiers for text, the location object url#33 becomes url#o33 *-T [filename/wildcard (*.termsheet.rb)]* standard form document builder, preprocessing feature *-t [filename/wildcard]* see --txt *--texinfo [filename/wildcard]* produces texinfo and info file, (view with pinfo). Alias -I *--textile [filename/wildcard/url]* textile smart text (not available) *--txt [filename/wildcard]* produces /plaintext/ with Unix linefeeds and without markup, (object numbers are omitted), has footnotes at end of each paragraph that contains them [ -A for equivalent dos (linefeed) output file] [see -e for endnotes]. (Options include: --endnotes for endnotes --footnotes for footnotes at the end of each paragraph --unix for unix linefeed (default) --msdos for msdos linefeed). Alias -t *--txt-asciidoc [filename/wildcard]* see --asciidoc *--txt-markdown [filename/wildcard]* see --markdown *--txt-rst [filename/wildcard]* see --rst *--txt-textile [filename/wildcard]* see --textile *-U [filename/wildcard]* see --urls *-u [filename/wildcard]* provides url mapping of output files for the flags requested for processing, also see -U *--urls [filename/wildcard]* 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 can be switched to file system paths in sisurc.yml. Alias -U *-V* on its own, provides *SiSU* version and environment information (sisu --help env) *-V [filename/wildcard]* even more verbose than the -v flag. *-v* on its own, provides *SiSU* version information *-v [filename/wildcard]* see --verbose *--verbose [filename/wildcard]* provides verbose output of what is being generated, where output is placed (and error messages if any), as with -u flag provides a url mapping of files created for each of the processing flag requests. Alias -v *--very-verbose [filename/wildcard]* provides more verbose output of what is being generated. See --verbose. Alias -V *--version* sisu version *-W* see --webrick *-w [filename/wildcard]* see --concordance *--webrick* starts ruby' 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: the webrick server requires link suffixes, so html output should be created using the -h option rather than -H ; also, note -F webrick ]. Alias -W *--wordmap [filename/wildcard]* see --concordance *--xhtml [filename/wildcard]* produces xhtml//XML/ output for browser viewing (sax parsing). Alias -b *--xml-dom [filename/wildcard]* produces /XML/ output with deep document structure, in the nature of dom.

The command would be 'createdb [database name]' where database name would be SiSU_[present working directory name (without path)]. Please use only alphanumerics and underscores. *--pg -v --import* [filename/wildcard] imports data specified to /PostgreSQL/ db (rb.dbi) [ -dv --import /SQLite/ equivalent] *--pg -v --update* [filename/wildcard] updates/imports specified data to /PostgreSQL/ db (rb.dbi) [ -dv --update /SQLite/ equivalent] *--pg --remove* [filename/wildcard] removes specified data to /PostgreSQL/ db (rb.dbi) [ -d --remove /SQLite/ equivalent] *--pg --dropall* kills data" and drops (/PostgreSQL/ or /SQLite/) db, tables & indexes [ -d --dropall /SQLite/ equivalent] The -v is for verbose output. COMMAND LINE WITH FLAGS - BATCH PROCESSING .......................................... In the data directory run sisu -mh filename or wildcard eg. "sisu -h cisg.sst" or "sisu -h *.{sst,ssm}" to produce html version of all documents. 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. INTRODUCTION TO SISU MARKUP[^3] ------------------------------- SUMMARY ....... *SiSU* source documents are /plaintext/ (/UTF-8/)[^4] files All paragraphs are separated by an empty line. Markup is comprised of: * 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) * 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: * heading levels defines document structure * text basic attributes, italics, bold etc. * grouped text (objects), which are to be treated differently, such as code blocks or poems. * footnotes/endnotes * linked text and images * paragraph actions, such as indent, bulleted, numbered-lists, etc. MARKUP RULES, DOCUMENT STRUCTURE AND METADATA REQUIREMENTS .......................................................... minimal content/structure requirement: [metadata] A~ (level A [title]) 1~ (at least one level 1 [segment/(chapter)]) structure rules (document heirarchy, heading levels): there are two sets of heading levels ABCD (title & parts if any) and 123 (segment & subsegments if any) sisu has the fllowing levels: A~ [title] . required (== 1) followed by B~ or 1~ B~ [part] * followed by C~ or 1~ C~ [subpart] * followed by D~ or 1~ D~ [subsubpart] * followed by 1~ 1~ [segment (chapter)] + required (>= 1) followed by text or 2~ text * followed by more text or 1~, 2~ or relevant part *() 2~ [subsegment] * followed by text or 3~ text * followed by more text or 1~, 2~ or 3~ or relevant part, see *() 3~ [subsubsegment] * followed by text text * followed by more text or 1~, 2~ or 3~ or relevant part, see *() *(B~ if none other used; if C~ is last used: C~ or B~; if D~ is used: D~, C~ or B~) * level A~ is the tile and is mandatory * there can only be one level A~ * heading levels BCD, are optional and there may be several of each (where all three are used corresponding to e.g. Book Part Section) * sublevels that are used must follow each other sequentially (alphabetically), * heading levels A~ B~ C~ D~ are followed by other heading levels rather than substantive text which may be the subsequent sequential (alphabetic) heading part level or a heading (segment) level 1~ * there must be at least one heading (segment) level 1~ (the level on which the text is segmented, in a book would correspond to the Chapter level) * additional heading levels 1~ 2~ 3~ are optional and there may be several of each * heading levels 1~ 2~ 3~ are followed by text (which may be followed by the same heading level) and/or the next lower numeric heading level (followed by text) or indeed return to the relevant part level (as a corollary to the rules above substantive text/ content must be preceded by a level 1~ (2~ or 3~) heading) MARKUP EXAMPLES ............... ---------------------------------------- ONLINE ...... Online markup examples are available together with the respective outputs produced from <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html> or from <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_examples/> There is of course this document, which provides a cursory overview of sisu markup and the respective output produced: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup/> an alternative presentation of markup syntax: /usr/share/doc/sisu/on_markup.txt.gz ---------------------------------------- INSTALLED ......... With *SiSU* installed sample skins may be found in: /usr/share/doc/sisu/markup-samples (or equivalent directory) and if sisu -markup-samples is installed also under: /usr/share/doc/sisu/markup-samples-non-free MARKUP OF HEADERS ----------------- Headers contain either: semantic meta-data about a document, which can be used by any output module of the program, or; processing instructions. Note: the first line of a document may include information on the markup version used in the form of a comment. Comments are a percentage mark at the start of a paragraph (and as the first character in a line of text) followed by a space and the comment: % this would be a comment SAMPLE HEADER .............

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 the form @headername: or on the next line and indented by once space :subheadername: All /Dublin Core/ meta tags are available *@identifier:* information or instructions where the "identifier" is a tag recognised by the program, and the "information" or "instructions" belong to the tag/identifier specified Note: a header where used should only be used once; all headers apart from @title: are optional; the @structure: header is used to describe document structure, and can be useful to know.

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) *:A~ [heading text]* Top level heading [this usually has similar content to the title @title: ] NOTE: the heading levels described here are in 0.38 notation, see heading *:B~ [heading text]* Second level heading [this is a heading level divider] *:C~ [heading text]* Third level heading [this is a heading level divider] *1~ [heading text]* Top level heading preceding substantive text of document or sub-heading 2, the heading level that would normally be marked 1. or 2. or 3. etc. in a document, and the level on which sisu by default would break html output into named segments, names are provided automatically if none are given (a number), otherwise takes the form 1~my_filename_for_this_segment *2~ [heading text]* Second level heading preceding substantive text of document or sub-heading 3 , the heading level that would normally be marked 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.3 or 2.1 etc. in a document. *3~ [heading text]* 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 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) FONT ATTRIBUTES ............... *markup example:* normal text, *{emphasis}*, !{bold text}!, /{italics}/, _{underscore}_, "{citation}", ^{superscript}^, ,{subscript},, +{inserted text}+, -{strikethrough}-, #{monospace}# normal text *{emphasis}* [note: can be configured to be represented by bold, italics or underscore] !{bold text}! /{italics}/ _{underscore}_ "{citation}" ^{superscript}^ ,{subscript}, +{inserted text}+ -{strikethrough}- #{monospace}# *resulting output:* normal text, *emphasis*, *bold text*, /italics/, _underscore_, "citation", ^superscript^, [subscript], +inserted text+, -strikethrough-, #monospace# normal text *emphasis* [note: can be configured to be represented by bold, italics or underscore] *bold text* /italics/ _underscore_ "citation" ^superscript^ [subscript] +inserted text+ -strikethrough- #monospace# INDENTATION AND BULLETS ....................... *markup example:* ordinary paragraph _1 indent paragraph one step _2 indent paragraph two steps _9 indent paragraph nine steps *resulting output:* ordinary paragraph indent paragraph one step indent paragraph two steps indent paragraph nine steps *markup example:* _* bullet text _1* bullet text, first indent _2* bullet text, two step indent *resulting output:* * bullet text * bullet text, first indent * bullet text, two step indent Numbered List (not to be confused with headings/titles, (document structure)) *markup example:* # numbered list numbered list 1., 2., 3, etc. _# numbered list numbered list indented a., b., c., d., etc. HANGING INDENTS ............... *markup example:* _0_1 first line no indent, rest of paragraph indented one step _1_0 first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent in each case level may be 0-9 *resulting output:* first line no indent, rest of paragraph indented one step; first line no indent, rest of paragraph indented one step; first line no indent, rest of paragraph indented one step; first line no indent, rest of paragraph indented one step; first line no indent, rest of paragraph indented one step; first line no indent, rest of paragraph indented one step; first line no indent, rest of paragraph indented one step; first line no indent, rest of paragraph indented one step; first line no indent, rest of paragraph indented one step; A regular paragraph. first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent first line indented, rest of paragraph no indent in each case level may be 0-9 *live-build* A collection of scripts used to build customized *Debian* Livesystems. /live-build/ was formerly known as live-helper, and even earlier known as live-package. *live-build* A collection of scripts used to build customized *Debian* Livesystems. /live-build/ was formerly known as live-helper, and even earlier known as live-package. FOOTNOTES / ENDNOTES .................... Footnotes and endnotes are marked up at the location where they would be indicated within a text. They are automatically numbered. The output type determines whether footnotes or endnotes will be produced *markup example:* ~{ a footnote or endnote }~ *resulting output:* [^5] *markup example:* normal text~{ self contained endnote marker & endnote in one }~ continues *resulting output:* normal text[^6] continues *markup example:* normal text ~{* unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote, insert multiple asterisks if required }~ continues normal text ~{** another unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote }~ continues *resulting output:* normal text [^*] continues normal text [^**] continues *markup example:* normal text ~[* editors notes, numbered asterisk footnote/endnote series ]~ continues normal text ~[+ editors notes, numbered plus symbol footnote/endnote series ]~ continues *resulting output:* normal text [^*3] continues normal text [^+2] continues *Alternative endnote pair notation for footnotes/endnotes:* % note the endnote marker "~^" normal text~^ continues ^~ endnote text following the paragraph in which the marker occurs the standard and pair notation cannot be mixed in the same document LINKS ..... ---------------------------------------- NAKED URLS WITHIN TEXT, DEALING WITH URLS ......................................... urls found within text are marked up automatically. A url within text is automatically hyperlinked to itself and by default decorated with angled braces, unless they are contained within a code block (in which case they are passed as normal text), or escaped by a preceding underscore (in which case the decoration is omitted). *markup example:* normal text http://www.sisudoc.org/ continues *resulting output:* normal text <http://www.sisudoc.org/> continues An escaped url without decoration *markup example:* normal text _http://www.sisudoc.org/ continues deb _http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free *resulting output:* normal text http://www.sisudoc.org/ continues deb http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free where a code block is used there is neither decoration nor hyperlinking, code blocks are discussed later in this document *resulting output:* 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 ---------------------------------------- LINKING TEXT ............ To link text or an image to a url the markup is as follows *markup example:* about { SiSU }http://url.org markup *resulting output:* about SiSU [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/>] markup A shortcut notation is available so the url link may also be provided automatically as a footnote *markup example:* about {~^ SiSU }http://url.org markup *resulting output:* about SiSU [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/>] [^7] markup Internal document links to a tagged location, including an ocn *markup example:* about { text links }#link_text *resulting output:* about text links Shared document collection link *markup example:* about { SiSU book markup examples }:SiSU/examples.html *resulting output:* about *SiSU* book markup examples ---------------------------------------- LINKING IMAGES .............. *markup example:* { tux.png 64x80 }image % various url linked images [image: "a better way"] [image: "Way Better - with Gnu/Linux, Debian and Ruby"] {~^ ruby_logo.png "Ruby" }http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ *resulting output:* tux.png 64x80 [link: local image] tux.png 64x80 "Gnu/Linux - a better way" [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/>] GnuDebianLinuxRubyBetterWay.png 100x101 "Way Better - with Gnu/Linux, Debian and Ruby" [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/>] ruby_logo.png 70x90 "Ruby" [link: <http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/>] [^8] *linked url footnote shortcut* {~^ [text to link] }http://url.org % maps to: { [text to 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 text marker *~name 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. ---------------------------------------- LINK SHORTCUT FOR MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF A SISU DOCUMENT IN THE SAME DIRECTORY TREE .............................................................................. *markup example:* !_ /{"Viral Spiral"}/, David Bollier { "Viral Spiral", David Bollier [3sS]}viral_spiral.david_bollier.sst */"Viral Spiral"/, David Bollier* "Viral Spiral", David Bollier [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/manifest/viral_spiral.david_bollier.manifest.html>] document manifest [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/manifest/viral_spiral.david_bollier.manifest.html>] html, segmented text [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/html/viral_spiral.david_bollier/viral_spiral.david_bollier.toc.html>] html, scroll, document in one [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/html/viral_spiral.david_bollier.html>] epub [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/epub/viral_spiral.david_bollier.epub>] pdf, landscape [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/pdf/viral_spiral.david_bollier.landscape.a4.pdf>] pdf, portrait [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/pdf/viral_spiral.david_bollier.landscape.a4.pdf>] odf: odt, open document text [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/odt/viral_spiral.david_bollier.odt>] xhtml scroll [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/xhtml/viral_spiral.david_bollier.xhtml>] xml, sax [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/xml_sax/viral_spiral.david_bollier.sax.xml>] xml, dom [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/xml_dom/viral_spiral.david_bollier.dom.xml>] concordance [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/html/viral_spiral.david_bollier/concordance.html>] dcc, document content certificate (digests) [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/digest/viral_spiral.david_bollier.hash_digest.txt>] markup source text [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/src/viral_spiral.david_bollier.sst>] markup source (zipped) pod [link: <http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/en/src/viral_spiral.david_bollier.sst.zip>] GROUPED TEXT / BLOCKED TEXT ........................... There are two markup syntaxes for blocked text, using curly braces or using tics ---------------------------------------- BLOCKED TEXT CURLY BRACE SYNTAX ............................... at the start of a line on its own use name of block type with an opening curly brace, follow with the content of the block, and close with a closing curly brace and the name of the block type, e.g. code{ this is a code block }code poem{ this here is a poem }poem ---------------------------------------- BLOCKED TEXT TIC SYNTAX ....................... ``` code this is a code block ``` ``` poem this here is a poem ``` start a line with three backtics, a space followed by the name of the name of block type, follow with the content of the block, and close with three back ticks on a line of their own, e.g. ---------------------------------------- TABLES ...... Tables may be prepared in two either of two forms *markup example:* 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 *resulting output:* 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』 a second form may be easier to work with in cases where there is not much information in each column *markup example:*[^9] !_ Table 3.1: Contributors to Wikipedia, January 2001 - June 2005 {table~h 24; 12; 12; 12; 12; 12; 12;} |Jan. 2001|Jan. 2002|Jan. 2003|Jan. 2004|July 2004|June 2006 Contributors* | 10| 472| 2,188| 9,653| 25,011| 48,721 Active contributors** | 9| 212| 846| 3,228| 8,442| 16,945 Very active contributors*** | 0| 31| 190| 692| 1,639| 3,016 No. of English language articles| 25| 16,000| 101,000| 190,000| 320,000| 630,000 No. of articles, all languages | 25| 19,000| 138,000| 490,000| 862,000|1,600,000 * Contributed at least ten times; ** at least 5 times in last month; *** more than 100 times in last month. *resulting output:* *Table 3.1: Contributors to Wikipedia, January 2001 - June 2005* ┆Jan. 2001┆Jan. 2002┆Jan. 2003┆Jan. 2004┆July 2004┆June 2006』Contributors*┆10┆472┆2,188┆9,653┆25,011┆48,721』Active contributors**┆9┆212┆846┆3,228┆8,442┆16,945』Very active contributors***┆0┆31┆190┆692┆1,639┆3,016』No. of English language articles┆25┆16,000┆101,000┆190,000┆320,000┆630,000』No. of articles, all languages┆25┆19,000┆138,000┆490,000┆862,000┆1,600,000』 * Contributed at least ten times; ** at least 5 times in last month; *** more than 100 times in last month. ---------------------------------------- POEM .... *basic markup:* poem{ Your poem here }poem Each verse in a poem is given an object number. *markup example:* poem{ `Fury said to a mouse, That he met in the house, "Let us both go to law: I will prosecute YOU. --Come, I'll take no denial; We must have a trial: For really this morning I've nothing to do." Said the mouse to the cur, "Such a trial, dear Sir, With no jury or judge, would be wasting our breath." "I'll be judge, I'll be jury," Said cunning old Fury: "I'll try the whole cause, and condemn you to death."' }poem *resulting output:* `Fury said to a mouse, That he met in the house, "Let us both go to law: I will prosecute YOU. --Come, I'll take no denial; We must have a trial: For really this morning I've nothing to do."

"I'll be judge, I'll be jury," Said cunning old Fury: "I'll try the whole cause, and condemn you to death."' ---------------------------------------- CODE .... Code tags # code{ ... }code # (used as with other group tags described above) are used to escape regular sisu markup, and have been used extensively within this document to provide examples of *SiSU* markup. You cannot however use code tags to escape code tags. They are however used in the same way as group or poem tags. A code-block is treated as an object and given a single object number. [an option to number each line of code may be considered at some later time] *use of code tags instead of poem compared, resulting output:* `Fury said to a mouse, That he met in the house, "Let us both go to law: I will prosecute YOU. --Come, I'll take no denial; We must have a trial: For really this morning I've nothing to do." Said the mouse to the cur, "Such a trial, dear Sir, With no jury or judge, would be wasting our breath." "I'll be judge, I'll be jury," Said cunning old Fury: "I'll try the whole cause, and condemn you to death."' From *SiSU* 2.7.7 on you can number codeblocks by placing a hash after the opening code tag # code{# # as demonstrated here: 1 ┆ `Fury said to a 2 ┆ mouse, That he 3 ┆ met in the 4 ┆ house, 5 ┆ "Let us 6 ┆ both go to 7 ┆ law: I will 8 ┆ prosecute 9 ┆ YOU. --Come, 10 ┆ I'll take no 11 ┆ denial; We 12 ┆ must have a 13 ┆ trial: For 14 ┆ really this 15 ┆ morning I've 16 ┆ nothing 17 ┆ to do." 18 ┆ Said the 19 ┆ mouse to the 20 ┆ cur, "Such 21 ┆ a trial, 22 ┆ dear Sir, 23 ┆ With 24 ┆ no jury 25 ┆ or judge, 26 ┆ would be 27 ┆ wasting 28 ┆ our 29 ┆ breath." 30 ┆ "I'll be 31 ┆ judge, I'll 32 ┆ be jury," 33 ┆ Said 34 ┆ cunning 35 ┆ old Fury: 36 ┆ "I'll 37 ┆ try the 38 ┆ whole 39 ┆ cause, 40 ┆ and 41 ┆ condemn 42 ┆ you 43 ┆ to 44 ┆ death."' ADDITIONAL BREAKS - LINEBREAKS WITHIN OBJECTS, COLUMN AND PAGE-BREAKS ..................................................................... ---------------------------------------- LINE-BREAKS ........... To break a line within a "paragraph object", two backslashes \\ with a space before and a space or newline after them may be used. To break a line within a "paragraph object", two backslashes \\ with a space before and a space or newline after them \\ may be used. The html break br enclosed in angle brackets (though undocumented) is available in versions prior to 3.0.13 and 2.9.7 (it remains available for the time being, but is depreciated). To draw a dividing line dividing paragraphs, see the section on page breaks. ---------------------------------------- PAGE BREAKS ........... Page breaks are only relevant and honored in some output formats. A page break or a new page may be inserted manually using the following markup on a line on its own: page new =\= breaks the page, starts a new page. page break -\- breaks a column, starts a new column, if using columns, else breaks the page, starts a new page. page break line across page -..- draws a dividing line, dividing paragraphs page break: -\\- page (break) new: =\\= page (break) line across page (dividing paragraphs): -..- BIBLIOGRAPHY / REFERENCES ......................... There are three ways to prepare a bibliography using sisu: (i) manually preparing and marking up as regular text in sisu a list of references; (ii) (tagging citations for inclusion) using a restricted form for citations and marking them up to identify them as such (which sisu then parses and attempts to build a bibliography from), or; (iii) preparing a bibliography, using metadata tags for author: title: year: and the like, including an id: and shortname: the id can be inserted in footnotes in place of the citation, and it will be substituted there by the short title for the work. For the heading/section sequence: endnotes, bibliography then book index to occur, the name biblio or bibliography must be given to the bibliography section, like so: 1~biblio Bibliography ---------------------------------------- A MARKUP TAGGED METADATA BIBLIOGRAPHY SECTION ............................................. Here instead of writing your full citations directly in footnotes, each time you have new material to cite, you add it to your bibliography section (if it has not been added yet) providing the information you need against an available list of tags. At the time of writing, for articles: au|author; ti|title; lng|language; jo|journal; vo|volume; edr|editor; yr|year; pst|publisher_state; url; note; sn|shortname; id; and for books: au|author; ti|title; st|subtitle; lng|language; pb|publisher; edn|edition; yr|year; pst|publisher_state; url; note; sn|shortname; id. The required tags are au: ti: and year: [^10] an short quick example might be as follows: 1~biblio Bibliography au: von Hippel, E. ti: Perspective: User Toolkits for Innovation lng: (language) jo: Journal of Product Innovation Management vo: 18 edr: (editor) yr: 2001 note: sn: Hippel, /{User Toolkits}/ (2001) id: vHippel_2001 % form: au: Benkler, Yochai ti: The Wealth of Networks st: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom lng: (language) pb: Harvard University Press edn: (edition) yr: 2006 pst: U.S. url: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/wealth_of_networks/Main_Page note: sn: Benkler, /{Wealth of Networks}/ (2006) id: Benkler2006 au: Quixote, Don; Panza, Sancho ti: Taming Windmills, Keeping True jo: Imaginary Journal yr: 1605 url: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote note: made up to provide an example of author markup for an article with two authors sn: Quixote and Panza, /{Taming Windmills}/ (1605) id: quixote1605 Note that the section name biblio (or bibliography) is required for the bibliography to be recognized as such, parsed correctly, and placed after the auto-generated endnote section. Using this method, work goes into preparing the bibliography, which will be automatically sorted by surname and presented, under the References or Bibliography section using the format for books: number, author (firstname & initials, surname), fulltitle, publisher, year, url (if any) and for articles: number, author (firstname & initials, surname), title, journal, volume, year, url (if any) The metadata tags may include shortname and id, if provided, every time the given id is found within the text it will be replaced by the given short title of the work (it is for this reason the short title has sisu markup to italicize the title), it should work with any page numbers to be added, the short title should be one that can easily be used to look up the full description in the bibliography. The following footnote~{ quixote1605, pp 1000 - 1001, also Benkler2006 p 1. }~ would be presented as: Quixote and Panza, /Taming Windmills/ (1605), pp 1000 - 1001 also, Benkler, /Wealth of Networks/, (2006) p 1 or rather[^11] ---------------------------------------- TAGGING CITATIONS FOR INCLUSION IN THE BIBLIOGRAPHY ................................................... Here whenever you make a citation that you wish be included in the bibliography, you tag the citation as such using special delimiters (which are subsequently removed from the final text produced by sisu) Here you would write something like the following, either in regular text or a footnote See .: Quixote, Don; Panza, Sancho /{Taming Windmills, Keeping True}/ (1605) :. *SiSU* will parse for a number of patterns within the delimiters to try make out the authors, title, date etc. and from that create a Bibliography. This is more limited than the previously described method of preparing a tagged bibliography, and using an id within text to identify the work, which also lends itself to greater consistency. BOOK INDEX .......... To make an index append to paragraph the book index term relates to it, using an equal sign and curly braces. 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. Paragraph containing main term and sub-term. ={Main term:sub-term} The index syntax starts on a new line, but there should not be an empty line between paragraph and index markup. The structure of the resulting index would be: Main term, 1 sub-term, 1 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. Paragraph containing main term, second term and sub-term. ={first term; second term: sub-term} The structure of the resulting index would be: First term, 1, Second term, 1, sub-term, 1 If multiple sub-terms appear under one paragraph, they are separated under the main term heading from each other by a pipe symbol. Paragraph containing main term, second term and sub-term. ={Main term: sub-term+2|second sub-term; Another term } A paragraph that continues discussion of the first sub-term 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: Main term, 1, sub-term, 1-3, second sub-term, 1, Another term, 1 COMPOSITE DOCUMENTS MARKUP -------------------------- 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 *.ssm* Within this document you would provide information on the other documents that should be included within the text. These may be other documents that would be processed in a regular way, or markup bits prepared only for inclusion within a master document *.sst* regular markup file, or *.ssi* (insert/information) A secondary file of the composite document is built prior to processing with the same prefix and the suffix *._sst* basic markup for importing a document into a master document << filename1.sst << filename2.ssi 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.
