WHAT IS SISU?

1. INTRODUCTION \- WHAT IS SISU?
.BR

.BR
.B SiSU
is a system for document markup, publishing (in multiple open standard
formats) and search

.BR
.B SiSU
[^1] is a[^2] framework for document structuring, publishing and search,
comprising of (a) a lightweight document structure and presentation markup
syntax and (b) an accompanying engine for generating standard document format
outputs from documents prepared in sisu markup syntax, which is able to produce
multiple standard outputs that (can) share a common numbering system for the
citation of text within a document.

.BR
.B SiSU
is developed under an open source, software libre license (GPL3). 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.

.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.

.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.

.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).

.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.

.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.

.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
.

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. SUMMARY OF FEATURES
.BR

.BR
* sparse/minimal markup (clean utf\-8 source texts). Documents are prepared in
a single UTF\-8 file using a minimalistic mnemonic syntax. Typical literature,
documents like \"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 HTML), \ [this \ may \ also \ be \
converted \ to \ 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, 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
  * html \- both as a single scrollable text and a segmented document

.BR
  * xhtml

.BR
  * XML \- both in sax and dom style xml structures for further development as
  required

.BR
  * ODF \- open document format, the iso standard for document storage

.BR
  * LaTeX \- used to generate pdf

.BR
  * pdf (via LaTeX)

.BR
  * sql \- population of an sql database, (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 LaTeX,
databases populated with documents at an individual object/paragraph level,
making possible 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, HTML, xml, sqlite, postgresql), this numbering system can be
used to reference content.

.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].

.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

.BR
* 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 (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 plaintext, HTML, XML, ODF,
LaTeX). To use a database you of course need that, and to convert the LaTeX
generated to pdf, a latex processor like tetex or texlive.

.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.

is installed on your system usual man commands should be available, try:

.BR
  man sisu

.BR
  man sisu_markup

.BR
  man sisu_commands

.BR
Most

.BR
.B SiSU
.B SiSU
is a document publishing system, that from a simple single marked\-up
document, produces multiple of output formats including: plaintext, html,
LaTeX, pdf, xhtml, XML, info, and SQL (PostgreSQL and SQLite), which share
numbered text objects (\"object citation numbering\") and the same document
structure information. For more see: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu>

if \ \-CC \ is \ used. \

.TP
.B \ \-c \ \ [filename/wildcard]
screen toggle ansi screen colour on or off depending on default set (unless
\-c flag is used: if sisurc colour default is set to \'true\', output to screen
will be with colour, if sisurc colour default is set to \'false\' or is
undefined screen output will be without colour).

.TP
.B \ \-D \ \ [instruction] \ [filename]
database postgresql ( \-\-pgsql may be used instead) possible instructions,
include: \-\-createdb; \-\-create; \-\-dropall; \-\-import \ [filename];
\-\-update \ [filename]; \-\-remove \ [filename]; see database section below.

.TP
.B \ \-d \ \ [\-\-db\-[database \ type \ (sqlite|pg)]] \-\-[instruction] \
[filename]
database type default set to sqlite, (for which \-\-sqlite may be used
instead) or to specify another database \-\-db\-[pgsql, \ sqlite] (however see
\-D) possible instructions include: \-\-createdb; \-\-create; \-\-dropall;

database section below.

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

.TP
.B \ \-H \ \ [filename/wildcard]
produces html without link suffixes (.html .pdf etc.) (\"Hide\"). Requires an
appropriately configured web server. \ [behaviour \ switched \ after \ 0.35 \
see \ \-h].

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

.TP
.B \ \-I \ \ [filename/wildcard]
produces texinfo and info file, (view with pinfo).

.TP
.B \ \-L
\ prints \ license \ information. \

.TP
.B \ \-M \ \ [filename/wildcard/url]
maintenance mode files created for processing preserved and their locations
indicated. (also see \-V)

.TP
.B \ \-m \ \ [filename/wildcard/url]
assumed for most other flags, creates new meta\-markup file, (the metaverse )
that is used in all subsequent processing of other output. This step is assumed
for most processing flags. To skip it see \-n

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

.TP
.B \ \-n \ \ [filename/wildcard/url]
skip meta\-markup (building of \"metaverse\"), this skips the equivalent of
\-m which is otherwise assumed by most processing flags.

.TP
.B \ \-o \ \ [filename/wildcard/url]
output basic document in opendocument file format (opendocument.odt).

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

.TP
.B \ \-q \ \ [filename/wildcard]
quiet less output to screen.

.TP
.B \ \-R \ \ [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 \-r

.TP
.B \ \-r \ \ [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 \-R

.TP
.B \ \-S
\ 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).

.TP
.B \ \-S \ \ [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.
.B 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].

.TP
.B \ \-s \ \ [filename/wildcard]
copies sisu markup file to output directory.

.TP
.B \ \-t \ \ [filename/wildcard \ (*.termsheet.rb)]
standard form document builder, preprocessing feature

.TP
.B \ \-U \ \ [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

.TP
.B \ \-u \ \ [filename/wildcard]
provides url mapping of output files for the flags requested for processing,
also see \-U

.TP
.B \ \-V
\ on \ its \ own, \ provides
.B \ SiSU
\ version \ and \ environment \ information \ (sisu \ \-\-help \ env) \

.TP
.B \ \-V \ \ [filename/wildcard]
even more verbose than the \-v flag. (also see \-M)

.TP
.B \ \-v
\ on \ its \ own, \ provides
.B \ SiSU
\ version \ information \

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

.TP
.B \ \-W
\ 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 \ ].

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

.TP
.B \ \-X \ \ [filename/wildcard]
produces XML output with deep document structure, in the nature of dom.

.TP
.B \ \-x \ \ [filename/wildcard]
produces XML output shallow structure (sax parsing).

.TP
.B \ \-Y \ \ [filename/wildcard]
produces a short sitemap entry for the document, based on html output and the
sisu_manifest. \-\-sitemaps generates/updates the sitemap index of existing
sitemaps. (Experimental, \ [g,y,m \ announcement \ this \ week])

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

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

.TP
.B \ \-z \ \ [filename/wildcard]
produces php (zend) \ [this \ feature \ is \ disabled \ for \ the \ time \
being]

.SH
6. COMMAND LINE MODIFIERS

dbi \- database interface

.BR
\-D or \-\-pgsql set for postgresql \-d or \-\-sqlite default set for sqlite
\-d is modifiable with \-\-db=[database \ type \ (pgsql \ or \ sqlite)]

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

.TP
.B \ \-Dv \ \-\-import
\ \ [filename/wildcard] imports data specified to postgresql db (rb.dbi) \ [
\ \-dv \ \-\-import \ sqlite \ equivalent]

.TP
.B \ \-Dv \ \-\-update
\ \ [filename/wildcard] updates/imports specified data to postgresql db
(rb.dbi) \ [ \ \-dv \ \-\-update \ sqlite \ equivalent]

.TP
.B \ \-D \ \-\-remove
\ \ [filename/wildcard] removes specified data to postgresql db (rb.dbi) \ [
\ \-d \ \-\-remove \ sqlite \ equivalent]

.TP
.B \ \-D \ \-\-dropall
\ kills \ data\" \ and \ drops \ (postgresql \ or \ sqlite) \ db, \ tables \
& \ indexes \ \ [ \ \-d \ \-\-dropall \ sqlite \ equivalent]

.BR
The v in e.g. \-Dv is for verbose output.

.SH
8. SHORTCUTS, SHORTHAND FOR MULTIPLE FLAGS
.BR

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

.TP
.B \ \-0 \ to \ \-5 \ \ [filename \ or \ wildcard]
Default shorthand mappings (note that the defaults can be changed/configured
in the sisurc.yml file):

.TP
.B \ \-0
\ \-mNhwpAobxXyYv \ \ [this \ is \ the \ default \ action \ run \ when \ no \
options \ are \ give, \ i.e. \ on \ \'sisu \ \ [filename]\']

.B \ \-4
\ \-mNhwpAobxXDyY \ \-\-import \

.TP
.B \ \-5
\ \-mNhwpAobxXDyY \ \-\-update \

.BR
add \-v for verbose mode and \-c for color, e.g. sisu \-2vc \ [filename \ or \
wildcard]

.BR
consider \-u for appended url info or \-v for verbose output

.SH
8.0.1 COMMAND LINE WITH FLAGS \- BATCH PROCESSING

.BR
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.

.BR
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.

9. INTRODUCTION TO SISU MARKUP[^15]
.BR

.SH
9.1 SUMMARY

.BR
.B SiSU
source documents are plaintext (UTF\-8)[^16] files

.BR
All paragraphs are separated by an empty line.

.BR
Markup is comprised of:

.BR
* 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)

.BR
* 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:

.BR
  * heading levels defines document structure

.BR
  * text basic attributes, italics, bold etc.

.BR
  * grouped text (objects), which are to be treated differently, such as code
  blocks or poems.

.BR
  * footnotes/endnotes

.BR
  * linked text and images

.BR
  * paragraph actions, such as indent, bulleted, numbered\-lists, etc.

.BR
Some interactive help on markup is available, by typing sisu and selecting
markup or sisu \-\-help markup

.SH
9.2 MARKUP EXAMPLES

.SH
9.2.1 ONLINE

.BR
Online markup examples are available together with the respective outputs
produced from <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/2.html> or from
<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_examples/>

.BR
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/>

.BR
Some example marked up files are available as html with syntax highlighting for
viewing: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax>

.BR
an alternative presentation of markup syntax:
<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/on_markup.txt>

.SH
9.2.2 INSTALLED

.BR
With
.B SiSU
installed sample skins may be found in:
/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg (or equivalent directory) and if
sisu\-markup\-samples is installed also under:
/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/non\-free

.SH
10. MARKUP OF HEADERS
.BR

.BR
Headers consist of semantic meta\-data about a document, which can be used by
any output module of the program; and may in addition include extra processing
instructions.

.BR
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:


.nf
  % this would be a comment
.fi

.SH
10.1 SAMPLE HEADER

.BR
This current document has a header similar to this one (without the comments):

  @level: new=C; break=1; num_top=1
  % comment: in this @level header num_top=1 starts automatic heading numbering at heading level 1 (numbering continues 3 levels down); the new and break instructions are used by the LaTeX/pdf and odf output to determine where to put page breaks (that are not used by html output or say sql database population).
  @skin: skin_sisu_manual
  % skins modify the appearance of a document and are placed in a sub\-directory under ./_sisu/skin ~/.sisu/skin or /etc/sisu/skin. A skin may affect single documents that request them, all documents in a directory, or be site\-wide. (A document is affected by a single skin)

10.2 AVAILABLE HEADERS

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

.BR
.B @indentifier:
information or instructions

.BR
where the \"identifier\" is a tag recognised by the program, and the
\"information\" or \"instructions\" belong to the tag/indentifier specified

.BR
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.

.BR

.SH
11.1 HEADING LEVELS

.BR
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)

.BR
.B :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

.BR
.B :B~ \ [heading \ text]
Second level heading \ [this \ is \ a \ heading \ level \ divider]

.BR
.B :C~ \ [heading \ text]
Third level heading \ [this \ is \ a \ heading \ level \ divider]

.BR
.B 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

.BR
.B 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.

.BR
.B 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


.nf
  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)

11.4 FOOTNOTES / ENDNOTES

.BR
Footnotes and endnotes not distinguished in markup. They are automatically
numbered. Depending on the output file format (html, odf, pdf etc.), the
document output selected will have either footnotes or endnotes.

.BR
.B markup example:


.nf
  ~{ a footnote or endnote }~

.B markup example:


.nf
  normal text ~{* unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote, insert multiple asterisks if required }~ continues
  normal text ~{** another unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote }~ continues
.fi

.BR
.B resulting output:

.BR
normal text \ [^*] continues

.BR
normal text \ [^**] continues

.BR
.B markup example:


.nf
  normal text ~[* \ editors \ notes, \ numbered \ asterisk \ footnote/endnote \ series \ ]~ continues
  normal text ~[+ \ editors \ notes, \ numbered \ asterisk \ footnote/endnote \ series \ ]~ continues

.BR
.B Alternative endnote pair notation for footnotes/endnotes:


.nf
.nf
  % note the endnote marker \"~^\"
  normal text~^ continues
  ^~ endnote text following the paragraph in which the marker occurs
.fi

.BR
the standard and pair notation cannot be mixed in the same document

.SH
11.5 LINKS

.SH
11.5.1 NAKED URLS WITHIN TEXT, DEALING WITH URLS

.BR
urls are found within text and marked up automatically. A url within text is
automatically hyperlinked to itself and by default decorated with angled
braces, unless they are contained within a code block (in which case they are
passed as normal text), or escaped by a preceding underscore (in which case the
decoration is omitted).

.BR
.B markup example:


.nf
  normal text http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu continues
.fi

.BR
.B resulting output:

.BR
normal text <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu> continues

.BR
An escaped url without decoration

.BR
.B markup example:


.nf
  normal text http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu continues
  deb http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non\-free
.fi

.BR
.B resulting output:

.BR
normal text http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu continues

.BR
deb http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non\-free

.BR
where a code block is used there is neither decoration nor hyperlinking, code
blocks are discussed later in this document

.BR
.B resulting output:


.nf
  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
.fi

.BR
To link text or an image to a url the markup is as follows

.BR
.B markup example:


.nf
  about { SiSU }http://url.org markup
.fi

.SH
11.5.2 LINKING TEXT

.BR
.B resulting output:

.BR
about SiSU <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/> markup

.BR
A shortcut notation is available so the url link may also be provided
automatically as a footnote

.BR
.B markup example:


.nf
  about {~^ SiSU }http://url.org markup
.fi

.BR
.B resulting output:

.BR
about SiSU <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/> \ [^19] markup

.nf
  {~^ \ [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
.fi


.nf
  text marker *~name

Tables may be prepared in two either of two forms

.BR
.B markup example:


.nf
  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

however used in the same way as group or poem tags.

12. COMPOSITE DOCUMENTS MARKUP
.BR

.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. Within the Vim editor it results
in the text thus linked becoming hyperlinked to the document it is calling in
which is convenient for editing. Alternative markup for importation of
documents under consideration, and occasionally supported have been.


.nf
  r{filename}
  {filename.ssi}require
  << {filename.ssi}
  % using textlink alternatives
  |filename.ssi|@|^|require
  << |filename.ssi|@|^|
  % using thlnk alternatives
  <url:filename.ssi>require
  << <url:filename.ssi>

14. 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]

The most common form of document in
.B SiSU
, see the section on
.B SiSU
markup.

.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]

.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. 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.

15. EXPERIMENTAL ALTERNATIVE INPUT REPRESENTATIONS
.BR

.SH
15.1 ALTERNATIVE XML

.BR
.B SiSU
offers alternative XML input representations of documents as a proof of
concept, experimental feature. They are however not strictly maintained, and
incomplete and should be handled with care.

.BR
.B convert from sst to simple xml representations (sax, dom and node):

.BR
  sisu \-\-to\-sax \ [filename/wildcard] or sisu \-\-to\-sxs \
  [filename/wildcard]

.BR
  sisu \-\-to\-dom \ [filename/wildcard] or sisu \-\-to\-sxd \
  [filename/wildcard]

.BR
  sisu \-\-to\-node \ [filename/wildcard] or sisu \-\-to\-sxn \
  [filename/wildcard]

.BR
.B convert to sst from any sisu xml representation (sax, dom and node):

.BR
  sisu \-\-from\-xml2sst \ [filename/wildcard \ \ [.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]

.BR
or the same:

.BR
  sisu \-\-from\-sxml \ [filename/wildcard \ \ [.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]

.SH
15.1.1 XML SAX REPRESENTATION

.BR
To convert from sst to simple xml (sax) representation:

.BR
  sisu \-\-to\-sax \ [filename/wildcard] or sisu \-\-to\-sxs \
  [filename/wildcard]

.BR
To convert from any sisu xml representation back to sst

.BR
  sisu \-\-from\-xml2sst \ [filename/wildcard \ \ [.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]

.BR
or the same:

.BR
  sisu \-\-from\-sxml \ [filename/wildcard \ \ [.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]

.SH
15.1.2 XML DOM REPRESENTATION

.BR
To convert from sst to simple xml (dom) representation:

.BR
  sisu \-\-to\-dom \ [filename/wildcard] or sisu \-\-to\-sxd \
  [filename/wildcard]

.BR
To convert from any sisu xml representation back to sst

.BR
  sisu \-\-from\-xml2sst \ [filename/wildcard \ \ [.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]

.BR
or the same:

.BR
  sisu \-\-from\-sxml \ [filename/wildcard \ \ [.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]

.SH
15.1.3 XML NODE REPRESENTATION

.BR

.BR
or the same:

.BR
  sisu \-\-from\-sxml \ [filename/wildcard \ \ [.sxs.xml,.sxd.xml,sxn.xml]]

.SH
16. CONFIGURATION
.BR

.SH
16.1 DETERMINING THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION

.BR
Information on the current configuration of
.B SiSU
should be available with the help command:

.BR
  sisu \-v

.BR
which is an alias for:

.BR
  sisu \-\-help env

.BR
Either of these should be executed from within a directory that contains sisu
markup source documents.

.SH
16.2 CONFIGURATION FILES (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/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
        <<HOME <html>
  <head></head>
  <doc>
  <p>this is my new homepage.</p>
  </doc>
  </html>
  HOME
      end
    end
.fi

.SH
21. MARKUP AND OUTPUT EXAMPLES
.BR

.SH
21.1 MARKUP EXAMPLES

.BR
Current markup examples and document output samples are provided at
<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/2.html>

.BR
Some markup with syntax highlighting may be found under
<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax> 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).

to demonstrates functionality.[^27]

.BR
.B SiSU
can provide information on which documents are matched and at what locations
within each document the matches are found. These results are relevant across
all outputs using object citation numbering, which includes html, XML, LaTeX,
PDF and indeed the SQL database. You can then refer to one of the other outputs
or in the SQL database expand the text within the matched objects (paragraphs)
in the documents matched.

.BR
Note you may set results either for documents matched and object number
locations within each matched document meeting the search criteria; or display
the names of the documents matched along with the objects (paragraphs) that
meet the search criteria.[^28]

.BR

.BR
See the documentation for hyperestraier:

.BR
  /usr/share/doc/hyperestraier/index.html

.BR

.BR
on sisu_hyperestraier:

.BR
  man sisu_hyperestraier

.BR
  /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup/sisu_hyperestraier/index.html

.BR
NOTE: the examples that follow assume that sisu output is placed in the
directory /home/ralph/sisu_www

.BR
(A) to generate the index within the webserver directory to be indexed:

.BR
  estcmd gather \-sd \ [index \ name] \ [directory \ path \ to \ index]

.BR
the following are examples that will need to be tailored according to your
needs:

.BR
  cd /home/ralph/sisu_www

.BR
  estcmd gather \-sd casket /home/ralph/sisu_www

.BR
you may use the \'find\' command together with \'egrep\' to limit indexing to
particular document collection directories within the web server directory:

.BR
  find /home/ralph/sisu_www \-type f | egrep
  \'/home/ralph/sisu_www/sisu/.+?.html$\' |estcmd gather \-sd casket \-

.BR
Check which directories in the webserver/output directory (~/sisu_www or
elsewhere depending on configuration) you wish to include in the search index.

.BR
As sisu duplicates output in multiple file formats, it it is probably
preferable to limit the estraier index to html output, and as it may also be
desirable to exclude files \'plain.txt\', \'toc.html\' and
\'concordance.html\', as these duplicate information held in other html output
e.g.

.BR
  find /home/ralph/sisu_www \-type f | egrep
  \'/sisu_www/(sisu|bookmarks)/.+?.html$\' | egrep \-v
  \'(doc|concordance).html$\' |estcmd gather \-sd casket \-

.BR
from your current document preparation/markup directory, you would construct a
rune along the following lines:

.BR
  find /home/ralph/sisu_www \-type f | egrep \'/home/ralph/sisu_www/([specify \
  first \ directory \ for \ inclusion]|[specify \ second \ directory \ for \
  inclusion]|[another \ directory \ for \ inclusion? \ ...])/.+?.html$\' |
  egrep \-v \'(doc|concordance).html$\' |estcmd gather \-sd
  /home/ralph/sisu_www/casket \-

.BR
(B) to set up the search form

.BR
(i) copy estseek.cgi to your cgi directory and set file permissions to 755:

.BR
  sudo cp \-vi /usr/lib/estraier/estseek.cgi /usr/lib/cgi\-bin

.BR
  sudo chmod \-v 755 /usr/lib/cgi\-bin/estseek.cgi

.BR
  sudo cp \-v /usr/share/hyperestraier/estseek.* /usr/lib/cgi\-bin

.BR
  \ [see \ estraier \ documentation \ for \ paths]

.BR
(ii) edit estseek.conf, with attention to the lines starting \'indexname:\' and
\'replace:\':

.BR
  indexname: /home/ralph/sisu_www/casket

.BR
  replace: ^file:///home/ralph/sisu_www{{!}}http://localhost

.BR
  replace: /index.html?${{!}}/

.BR
(C) to test using webrick, start webrick:

.BR
  sisu \-W

.BR
and try open the url: <http://localhost:8081/cgi\-bin/estseek.cgi>

29. REMOTE SOURCE DOCUMENTS
.BR

.BR
.B SiSU
processing instructions can be run against remote source documents by
providing the url of the documents against which the processing instructions
are to be carried out. The remote
.B SiSU
documents can either be sisu marked up files in plaintext .sst or .ssm or;
zipped sisu files, sisupod.zip or filename.ssp

.BR
.B .sst / .ssm \- sisu text files

.BR
.B SiSU
can be run against source text files on a remote machine, provide the
processing instruction and the url. The source file and any associated parts
(such as images) will be downloaded and generated locally.


.nf
  sisu \-3 http://[provide \ url \ to \ valid \ .sst \ or \ .ssm \ file]
.fi

.BR
Any of the source documents in the sisu examples page can be used in this way,
see <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/2.html> and use the url for the desired
document.

.BR
NOTE: to set up a remote machine to serve
.B SiSU
documents in this way, images should be in the directory relative to the
document source ../_sisu/image

.BR
.B sisupod \- zipped sisu files

.BR
A sisupod is the zipped content of a sisu marked up text or texts and any other
associated parts to the document such as images.

.BR
.B SiSU
can be run against a sisupod on a (local or) remote machine, provide the
processing instruction and the url, the sisupod will be downloaded and the
documents it contains generated locally.


.nf
  sisu \-3 http://[provide \ url \ to \ valid \ sisupod.zip \ or \ .ssp \ file]
.fi

.BR
Any of the source documents in the sisu examples page can be used in this way,
see <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/2.html> and use the url for the desired
document.

.SH
REMOTE DOCUMENT OUTPUT
.BR

.SH
30. REMOTE OUTPUT
.BR

.BR
Once properly configured
.B SiSU
output can be automatically posted once generated to a designated remote
machine using either rsync, or scp.

.BR
In order to do this some ssh authentication agent and keychain or similar tool
will need to be configured. Once that is done the placement on a remote host
can be done seamlessly with the \-r (for scp) or \-R (for rsync) flag, which
may be used in conjunction with other processing flags, e.g.


.nf
  sisu \-3R sisu_remote.sst
.fi

.SH
30.1 COMMANDS

.TP
.B \ \-R \ \ [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 \-r

.TP
.B \ \-r \ \ [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 \-R

.SH
30.2 CONFIGURATION

.BR
[expand \ on \ the \ setting \ up \ of \ an \ ssh\-agent \ / \ keychain]

.SH
31. REMOTE SERVERS
.BR

.BR
As
.B SiSU
is generally operated using the command line, and works within a Unix type
environment,
.B SiSU
the program and all documents can just as easily be on a remote server, to
which you are logged on using a terminal, and commands and operations would be
pretty much the same as they would be on your local machine.

.SH
32. QUICKSTART \- GETTING STARTED HOWTO
.BR

.SH
32.1 INSTALLATION

.BR
Installation is currently most straightforward and tested on the
.B Debian
platform, as there are packages for the installation of sisu and all
requirements for what it does.

.SH
32.1.1 DEBIAN INSTALLATION

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


.nf
    aptitude update
    aptitude install sisu\-complete
.fi

.BR
The following /etc/apt/sources.list setting permits the download of additional
markup samples:


.nf
  #/etc/apt/sources.list
    deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non\-free contrib
    deb\-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non\-free contrib
  d
.fi

.BR
The aptitude commands become:


.nf
    aptitude update
    aptitude install sisu\-complete sisu\-markup\-samples
.fi

.BR
If there are newer versions of
.B SiSU
upstream of the
.B Debian
archives, they will be available by adding the following to your
/etc/apt/sources.list


.nf
  #/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
.fi

.BR
repeat the aptitude commands


.nf
    aptitude update
    aptitude install sisu\-complete sisu\-markup\-samples
.fi

.BR
Note however that it is not necessary to install sisu\-complete if not all
components of sisu are to be used. Installing just the package sisu will
provide basic functionality.

.SH
32.1.2 RPM INSTALLATION

.BR
RPMs are provided though untested, they are prepared by running alien against
the source package, and against the debs.

.BR
They may be downloaded from:

.BR
  <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#rpm>

.BR
as root type:

.BR
  rpm \-i \ [rpm \ package \ name]

.SH
32.1.3 INSTALLATION FROM SOURCE

.BR
To install
.B SiSU
from source check information at:

.BR
  <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html#current>

.BR
* download the source package

.BR
* Unpack the source

.BR
Two alternative modes of installation from source are provided, setup.rb (by
Minero Aoki) and a rant(by Stefan Lang) built install file, in either case: the
first steps are the same, download and unpack the source file:

.BR
For basic use
.B SiSU
is only dependent on the programming language in which it is written
.B Ruby
, and
.B SiSU
will be able to generate html, various XMLs, including ODF (and will also
produce LaTeX). Dependencies required for further actions, though it relies on
the installation of additional dependencies which the source tarball does not
take care of, for things like using a database (postgresql or sqlite)[^29] or
converting LaTeX to pdf.

.BR
.B setup.rb

.BR
This is a standard ruby installer, using setup.rb is a three step process. In
the root directory of the unpacked
.B SiSU
as root type:


.nf
      ruby setup.rb config
      ruby setup.rb setup
      #[and \ as \ root:]
      ruby setup.rb install
.fi

.BR
further information on setup.rb is available from:

.BR
  <http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/>

.BR
  <http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/setup/doc/usage.html>

.BR
.B \"install\"

.BR
The \"install\" file provided is an installer prepared using \"rant\". In the
root directory of the unpacked
.B SiSU
as root type:

.BR
  ruby install base

.BR
or for a more complete installation:

.BR
  ruby install

.BR
or

.BR
  ruby install base

.BR
This makes use of Rant (by Stefan Lang) and the provided Rantfile. It has been
configured to do post installation setup setup configuration and generation of
first test file. Note however, that additional external package dependencies,
such as tetex\-extra are not taken care of for you.

.BR
Further information on \"rant\" is available from:

.BR
  <http://make.rubyforge.org/>

.BR
  <http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=615>

.BR
For a list of alternative actions you may type:

.BR
  ruby install help

.BR
  ruby install \-T

.SH
32.2 TESTING SISU, GENERATING OUTPUT

.BR
To check which version of sisu is installed:

.BR
sisu \-v

.BR
Depending on your mode of installation one or a number of markup sample files
may be found either in the directory:

.BR
...

.BR
or

.BR
...

.BR
change directory to the appropriate one:

.BR
cd /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg

.SH
32.2.1 BASIC TEXT, PLAINTEXT, HTML, XML, ODF

.BR
Having moved to the directory that contains the markup samples (see
instructions above if necessary), choose a file and run sisu against it

.BR
sisu \-NhwoabxXyv free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst

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

.SH
32.2.2 LATEX / PDF

.BR
Assuming a LaTeX engine such as tetex or texlive is installed with the required
modules (done automatically on selection of sisu\-pdf in
.B Debian
)

.BR
Having moved to the directory that contains the markup samples (see
instructions above if necessary), choose a file and run sisu against it

.BR
sisu \-pv free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst

.BR
sisu \-3 free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst

.BR
should generate most available output formats: html including a concordance
file, opendocument text format, plaintext, XHTML and various forms of XML, and
OpenDocument text and pdf

.SH
32.2.3 RELATIONAL DATABASE \- POSTGRESQL, SQLITE

.BR
Relational databases need some setting up \- you must have permission to create
the database and write to it when you run sisu.

.BR
Assuming you have the database installed and the requisite permissions

.BR
sisu \-\-sqlite \-\-recreate

.BR
sisu \-\-sqlite \-v \-\-import
free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst

.BR
sisu \-\-pgsql \-\-recreate

.BR
sisu \-\-pgsql \-v \-\-import
free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst

.SH
