Prepare documents for +.B SiSU +using your text editor of choice, then use +.B SiSU +to generate various output document formats. + +.BR +From a single lightly prepared document (plain-text +.I 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. +.B SiSU +produces: plain-text, +.I HTML, +.I XHTML, +.I XML, +.I EPUB, +.I ODF: +.I ODT +(Opendocument), +.I LaTeX, +.I PDF, +and populates an +.I SQL +database ( +.I PostgreSQL +or +.I SQLite +) with text objects, roughly, paragraph sized chunks so that document searches +are done at this level of granularity. + +.BR +Outputs share a common citation numbering system, associated with text objects +and any semantic meta-data provided about the document. + +.BR + +.B SiSU +also provides concordance files, document content certificates and manifests of +generated output.

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. +.SH GLOSSARY + + +.BR +Using the section name 1~!glossary results in the Glossary being treated +specially as such, and placed after the auto-generated endnote section (before +the bibliography/list of references if there is one). + +.BR +The Glossary is ordinary text marked up in a manner deemed suitable for that +purpose. e.g. with the term in bold, possibly with a hanging indent. +.nf +1~!glossary~ [Note: heading marker::required title missing] + +_0_1 *{GPL}* An abbreviation that stands for "General Purpose License." ... + +_0_1 [provide your list of terms and definitions] +.fi + + +.BR +In the given example the first line is not indented subsequent lines are by one +level, and the term to be defined is in bold text. +.SH BOOK INDEX + + +.BR +To make an index append to paragraph the book index term relates to it, using +an equal sign and curly braces. + +.BR +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. +.nf + Paragraph containing main term and sub-term. + ={Main term:sub-term} +.fi + + +.BR +The index syntax starts on a new line, but there should not be an empty line +between paragraph and index markup. + +.BR +The structure of the resulting index would be: +.nf + Main term, 1 + sub-term, 1 +.fi + + +.BR +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. +.nf + Paragraph containing main term, second term and sub-term. + ={first term; second term: sub-term} +.fi + + +.BR +The structure of the resulting index would be: +.nf + First term, 1, + Second term, 1, + sub-term, 1 +.fi + + +.BR +If multiple sub-terms appear under one paragraph, they are separated under the +main term heading from each other by a pipe symbol. +.nf + 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 +.fi + + +.BR +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: +.nf + Main term, 1, + sub-term, 1-3, + second sub-term, 1, + Another term, 1 +.fi + +.SH COMPOSITE DOCUMENTS MARKUP + + +.BR +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 +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 +regular markup file, or +.B .ssi +(insert/information) A secondary file of the composite document is built prior +to processing with the same prefix and the suffix +.B ._sst + +.BR +basic markup for importing a document into a master document +.nf +<< filename1.sst + +<< filename2.ssi +.fi + + +.BR +The form described above should be relied on.

They may make reference to and contain images (for example), which are +stored in the directory beneath them _sisu/image. 〔b¤SiSU +.I 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 SISU TEXT - REGULAR FILES (.SST) + + +.BR +The most common form of document in +.B SiSU, +see the section on +.B SiSU +markup. +.SH 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 +.SH 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 (.sst). Since sisu -5.5.0 (6.1.0) .ssi files can like .ssm files +include other .sst or .ssm files. .ssi files cannot be called by the sisu +processor directly and can only be incorporated in other documents. Making a +file a .ssi file is a quick and convenient way of breaking up a document that +is to be included in a master document, and flagging that the file to be +incorporated .ssi is not intended that the file should be processed on its own. +.SH 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) +.TP +.B SiSU +.I 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. + +.BR +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 +documents. + +.BR +The command to create a sisupod is: + +.BR + sisu -S [filename] + +.BR +Alternatively, make a pod of the contents of a whole directory: + +.BR + sisu -S + +.BR + +.B SiSU +processing can be done directly against a sisupod; which may be located locally +or on a remote server for which a url is provided. + +.BR +<http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/sisu_commands> + +.BR +<http://www.sisudoc.org/sisu/sisu_manual> +.SH CONFIGURATION + +.SH CONFIGURATION FILES + +.SH CONFIG.YML + + +.BR + +.B SiSU +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. + +.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/v7/sisurc.yml + +.BR + ./_sisu/sisurc.yml + +.BR + ~/.sisu/v7/sisurc.yml + +.BR + ~/.sisu/sisurc.yml + +.BR + /etc/sisu/v7/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 SISU_DOCUMENT_MAKE + + +.BR +Most sisu document headers relate to metadata, the exception is the @make: +header which provides processing related information. The default contents of +the @make header may be set by placing them in a file sisu_document_make. + +.BR +The search order is as for resource configuration: + +.BR + ./_sisu/v7/sisu_document_make + +.BR + ./_sisu/sisu_document_make + +.BR + ~/.sisu/v7/sisu_document_make + +.BR + ~/.sisu/sisu_document_make + +.BR + /etc/sisu/v7/sisu_document_make + +.BR + /etc/sisu/sisu_document_make + +.BR +A sample sisu_document_make can be found in the _sisu/ directory under along +with the provided sisu markup samples. +.SH CSS - CASCADING STYLE SHEETS (FOR HTML, XHTML AND XML) + + +.BR +CSS files to modify the appearance of +.B SiSU +html, +.I XHTML +or +.I 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 + +.I HTML: +html. css + +.BR + +.I XML +DOM: dom.css + +.BR + +.I XML +SAX: sax.css + +.BR + +.I 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.[^12] +.SH ORGANISING CONTENT - DIRECTORY STRUCTURE AND MAPPING + + +.BR + +.B SiSU +v3 has new options for the source directory tree, and output directory +structures of which there are 3 alternatives. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE DIRECTORY + + +.BR +The document source directory is the directory in which sisu processing +commands are given. It contains the sisu source files (.sst .ssm .ssi), or (for +sisu v3 may contain) subdirectories with language codes which contain the sisu +source files, so all English files would go in subdirectory en/, French in fr/, +Spanish in es/ and so on. ISO 639-1 codes are used (as varied by po4a). A list +of available languages (and possible sub-directory names) can be obtained with +the command "sisu --help lang" The list of languages is limited to langagues +supported by XeTeX polyglosia. +.SH GENERAL DIRECTORIES + +.nf + ./subject_name/ + +% files stored at this level e.g. sisu_manual.sst or +% for sisu v3 may be under language sub-directories +% e.g. + + ./subject_name/en + + ./subject_name/fr + + ./subject_name/es + + ./subject_name/_sisu + + ./subject_name/_sisu/css + + ./subject_name/_sisu/image +.fi + +.SH DOCUMENT OUTPUT DIRECTORY STRUCTURES + +.SH OUTPUT DIRECTORY ROOT + + +.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 ALTERNATIVE OUTPUT STRUCTURES + + +.BR +There are 3 possibile output structures described as being, by language, by +filetype or by filename, the selection is made in sisurc.yml +.nf +#% output_dir_structure_by: language; filetype; or filename +output_dir_structure_by: language #(language & filetype, preferred?) +#output_dir_structure_by: filetype +#output_dir_structure_by: filename #(default, closest to original v1 & v2) +.fi + +.SH BY LANGUAGE + + +.BR +The by language directory structure places output files + +.BR +The by language directory structure separates output files by language code +(all files of a given language), and within the language directory by filetype. + +.BR +Its selection is configured in sisurc.yml + +.BR +output_dir_structure_by: language +.nf + |-- en + |-- epub + |-- hashes + |-- html + | |-- viral_spiral.david_bollier + | |-- manifest + | |-- qrcode + | |-- odt + | |-- pdf + | |-- sitemaps + | |-- txt + | |-- xhtml + | `-- xml + |-- po4a + | `-- live-manual + | |-- po + | |-- fr + | `-- pot + `-- _sisu + |-- css + |-- image + |-- image_sys -> ../../_sisu/image_sys + `-- xml + |-- rnc + |-- rng + `-- xsd +.fi + + +.BR +#by: language subject_dir/en/manifest/filename.html +.SH BY FILETYPE + + +.BR +The by filetype directory structure separates output files by filetype, all +html files in one directory pdfs in another and so on.

Documents are prepared in a +single +.I UTF-8 +file using a minimalistic mnemonic syntax. Typical literature, documents like +"War and Peace" require almost no markup, and most of the headers are optional. + +.BR +- markup is easily readable/parsable by the human eye, (basic markup is simpler +and more sparse than the most basic +.I HTML +) , [this may also be converted to +.I XML +representations of the same input/source document]. + +.BR +- 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 +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 that browser viewing, +paper publication, sql search etc.] (html, epub, xml, odf, latex, pdf, sql) + +.BR +- 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: + +.BR +* +.I HTML +- both as a single scrollable text and a segmented document + +.BR +* +.I XHTML + +.BR +* +.I EPUB + +.BR +* +.I XML +- both in sax and dom style xml structures for further development as required + +.BR +* +.I ODT +- Open Document Format text, the iso standard for document storage + +.BR +* +.I LaTeX +- used to generate pdf + +.BR +* +.I PDF +(via +.I LaTeX +) + +.BR +* +.I SQL +- population of an sql database ( +.I PostgreSQL +or +.I SQLite +) , (at the same object level that is used to cite text within a document) + +.BR +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 +.I LaTeX, +databases populated with documents at an individual object/paragraph level, +making possible +.I granular search +(and related possibilities)) + +.BR +- 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, +.I HTML, +.I EPUB, +xml, sqlite, postgresql) , this numbering system can be used to reference +content. + +.BR +- Granular search within documents. +.I 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]. + +.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, epub in 2009 and in future html5 output +sometime in future, without modification of existing prepared texts + +.BR +* +.I SQL +search aside, documents are generated as required and static once generated. + +.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) + +.BR +- document source ( +.I plaintext +utf-8) if shared on the net may be used as input and processed locally to +produce the different document outputs + +.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 + +.BR +- generated document outputs may automatically be posted to remote sites. + +.BR +- for basic document generation, the only software dependency is +.B Ruby, +and a few standard Unix tools (this covers +.I plaintext, +.I HTML, +.I EPUB, +.I XML, +.I ODF, +.I LaTeX +) . To use a database you of course need that, and to convert the +.I LaTeX +generated to pdf, a latex processor like tetex or texlive. + +.BR +- as a developers tool it is flexible and extensible + +.BR +Syntax highlighting for +.B SiSU +markup is available for a number of text editors. + +.BR + +.B SiSU +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 search of content + +.BR +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) ... + +.BR +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. +.TP +.BI *1. +square brackets + +.BR +.TP +.BI *2. +square brackets + +.BR +.TP +.BI +1. +square brackets + +.BR +.TP +.BI 1. +<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/man/> + +.BR +.TP +.BI 2. +<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/man/sisu.1.html> + +.BR +.TP +.BI 3. +From sometime after SiSU 0.58 it should be possible to describe SiSU markup +using SiSU, which though not an original design goal is useful. + +.BR +.TP +.BI 4. +files should be prepared using UTF-8 character encoding + +.BR +.TP +.BI 5. +a footnote or endnote + +.BR +.TP +.BI 6. +self contained endnote marker & endnote in one + +.BR +.TP +.BI *. +unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote, insert multiple asterisks if required + +.BR +.TP +.BI **. +another unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote + +.BR +.TP +.BI *3. +editors notes, numbered asterisk footnote/endnote series + +.BR +.TP +.BI +2. +editors notes, numbered plus symbol footnote/endnote series + +.BR +.TP +.BI 7. +<http://www.sisudoc.org/> + +.BR +.TP +.BI 8. +<http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/> + +.BR +.TP +.BI 9. +Table from the Wealth of Networks by Yochai Benkler +<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/the_wealth_of_networks.yochai_benkler> + +.BR +.TP +.BI 10. +for which you may alternatively use the full form author: title: and year: + +.BR +.TP +.BI 11. +Quixote and Panza, Taming Windmills (1605), pp 1000 - 1001 also, Benkler, Wealth of Networks (2006), p 1 + +.BR +.TP +.BI 12. +SiSU has worked this way in the past, though this was dropped as it was +thought the complexity outweighed the flexibility, however, the balance was +rather fine and this behaviour could be reinstated. + +.BR +.TP +.BI 13. +<http://www.postgresql.org/> <http://advocacy.postgresql.org/> +<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postgresql> + +.BR +.TP +.BI 14. +<http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sqlite> + +.BR +.TP +.BI 15. +<http://search.sisudoc.org> + +.BR +.TP +.BI 16. +(which could be extended further with current back-end).
