1. Introduction to SiSU Markup  ¹ 

  3

1.1 Summary

  4

SiSU source documents are plaintext (UTF-8)  ²  files

  5

All paragraphs are separated by an empty line.

  6

Markup is comprised of:

  14

  15

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

  16

1.2 Markup Examples

  17

1.2.1 Online

  18

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/>

  19

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/>

  20

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

  21

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

  22

1.2.2 Installed

  23

With 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

  24

2. Markup of Headers

  25

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.

  26

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:

  27

  % this would be a comment

  28

2.1 Sample Header

  29

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

  30

  % SiSU 0.57

  @title: SiSU

  @subtitle: Markup [0.58]

  @creator: Ralph Amissah

  @rights: Copyright (C) Ralph Amissah 2007, part of SiSU documentation, License GPL 3

  @type: information

  @subject: ebook, epublishing, electronic book, electronic publishing, electronic document, electronic citation, data structure, citation systems, search

  @date.created: 2002-08-28

  @date.issued: 2002-08-28

  @date.available: 2002-08-28

  @date.modified: 2007-09-16

  @date: 2007-09-16

  @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)

2.2 Available Headers

  32

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

  33

@indentifier: information or instructions

  34

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

  35

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.

  36

This is a sample header

  37

% SiSU 0.38 [declared file-type identifier with markup version]

  38

@title: [title text] This is the title of the document and used as such, this header is the only one that is mandatory

3. Markup of Substantive Text

  82

3.1 Heading Levels

  83

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)

  84

: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

  85

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

  86

:C~ [heading text] Third level heading [this is a heading level divider]

  87

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

  88

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.

  89

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

  90

  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)

  91

3.2 Font Attributes

  92

markup example:

  93

  normal text !{emphasis}! *{bold text}* _{underscore}_ /{italics}/ "{citation}" ^{superscript}^ ,{subscript}, +{inserted text}+

  normal text

  !{emphasis}!

  *{bold text}*

  _{underscore}<br />
  /{italics}/

  "{citation}"

  ^{superscript}^

  ,{subscript},

  +{inserted text}+

  -{strikethrough}-

  94

resulting output:

  95

normal text emphasis bold text underscore italics citation ^superscript _subscript inserted text strikethrough

  96

normal text

  97

emphasis

  98

bold text

  99

underscore

  100

italics

  101

citation

  102

^superscript

  103

_subscript

  104

inserted text

  105

strikethrough

  106

3.3 Indentation and bullets

  107

markup example:

  108

  ordinary paragraph

  _1 indent paragraph one step

  _2 indent paragraph two steps

  _9 indent paragraph nine steps

  109

resulting output:

  110

ordinary paragraph

  111

indent paragraph one step

  112

indent paragraph two steps

  113

indent paragraph nine steps

  114

markup example:

  115

  _* bullet text

  _1* bullet text, first indent

  _2* bullet text, two step indent

  116

resulting output:

  117

  118

  119

  120

Numbered List (not to be confused with headings/titles, (document structure))

  121

markup example:

  122

  # numbered list                numbered list 1., 2., 3, etc.

  _# numbered list numbered list indented a., b., c., d., etc.

  123

3.4 Footnotes / Endnotes

  124

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.

  125

markup example:

  126

  ~{ a footnote or endnote }~

  127

resulting output:

  128

  ³ 

  129

markup example:

  130

  normal text~{ self contained endnote marker & endnote in one }~ continues

  131

resulting output:

  132

normal text  ⁴  continues

  133

markup example:

  134

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

  normal text ~{** another unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote }~ continues

  135

resulting output:

  136

normal text   ^*  continues

  137

normal text   ^**  continues

  138

markup example:

  139

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

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

  140

resulting output:

  141

normal text   ^*1  continues

  142

normal text   ⁺¹  continues

  143

Alternative endnote pair notation for footnotes/endnotes:

  144

  % note the endnote marker "~^"

  normal text~^ continues

  ^~ endnote text following the paragraph in which the marker occurs

  145

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

  146

3.5 Links

  147

3.5.1 Naked URLs within text, dealing with urls

  148

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).

  149

markup example:

  150

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

  151

resulting output:

  152

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

  153

An escaped url without decoration

  154

markup example:

  155

  normal text _http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu continues

  deb _http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free

  156

resulting output:

  157

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

  158

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

  159

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

  160

resulting output:

  161

  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

  162

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

  163

markup example:

  164

  about { SiSU }http://url.org markup

  165

3.5.2 Linking Text

  166

resulting output:

  167

about SiSU markup

  168

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

  169

markup example:

  170

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

  171

resulting output:

  172

about SiSU   ⁵  markup

  173

3.5.3 Linking Images

  174

markup example:

  175

  {tux.png 64x80 }image

  % various url linked images

  {tux.png 64x80 "a better way" }http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/

  {GnuDebianLinuxRubyBetterWay.png 100x101 "Way Better - with Gnu/Linux, Debian and Ruby" }http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/

  {~^ ruby_logo.png "Ruby" }http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

  176

resulting output:

  177

  178

Gnu/Linux - a better way

  179

[ ruby_logo (png missing) ]   ⁶ 

  180

Way Better - with Gnu/Linux, Debian and Ruby

  181

linked url footnote shortcut

  182

  {~^ [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

  183

  text marker *~name

  184

note at a heading level the same is automatically achieved by providing names to headings 1, 2 and 3 i.e. 2~[name] and 3~[name] or in the case of auto-heading numbering, without further intervention.

  185

3.6 Grouped Text

  186

3.6.1 Tables

  187

Tables may be prepared in two either of two forms

  188

markup example:

  189

  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

  190

resulting output:

  191

  192

a second form may be easier to work with in cases where there is not much information in each column

  193

markup example:  ⁷ 

  194

3.6.4 Code

  214

Code tags are used to escape regular sisu markup, and have been used extensively within this document to provide examples of SiSU markup. You cannot however use code tags to escape code tags. They are however used in the same way as group or poem tags.

  215

A code-block is treated as an object and given a single object number. [an option to number each line of code may be considered at some later time]

  216

use of code tags instead of poem compared, resulting output:

4. Composite documents markup

  219

It is possible to build a document by creating a master document that requires other documents. The documents required may be complete documents that could be generated independently, or they could be markup snippets, prepared so as to be easily available to be placed within another text. If the calling document is a master document (built from other documents), it should be named with the suffix .ssm Within this document you would provide information on the other documents that should be included within the text. These may be other documents that would be processed in a regular way, or markup bits prepared only for inclusion within a master document .sst regular markup file, or .ssi (insert/information) A secondary file of the composite document is built prior to processing with the same prefix and the suffix ._sst

  220

basic markup for importing a document into a master document

  221

  << |filename1.sst|@|^|

  << |filename2.ssi|@|^|

  222

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.

  223

  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>

5. Notes related to Files-types and Markup Syntax

  226

0.38 is substantially current, depreciated 0.16 supported, though file names were changed at 0.37

  227

0.52 (2007w14/6) declared document type identifier at start of text/document:

  228

SiSU 0.52

  229

or, backward compatible using the comment marker:

  230

% SiSU 0.38

  231

variations include 'SiSU (text|master|insert) [version]' and 'sisu-[version]'

  232

0.51 (2007w13/6) skins changed (simplified), markup unchanged

  233

0.42 (2006w27/4) * (asterisk) type endnotes, used e.g. in relation to author

  234

0.38 (2006w15/7) introduced new/alternative notation for headers, e.g. @title: (instead of 0~title), and accompanying document structure markup, :A,:B,:C,1,2,3 (maps to previous 1,2,3,4,5,6)

  235

0.37 (2006w09/7) introduced new file naming convention, .sst (text), .ssm (master), .ssi (insert), markup syntax unchanged

  236

0.35 (2005w52/3) sisupod, zipped content file introduced

  237

0.23 (2005w36/2) utf-8 for markup file

  238

0.22 (2005w35/3) image dimensions may be omitted if rmagick is available to be relied upon

  239

0.20.4 (2005w33/4) header 0~links

  240

0.16 (2005w25/2) substantial changes introduced to make markup cleaner, header 0~title type, and headings [1-6]~ introduced, also percentage sign (%) at start of a text line as comment marker

  241

Endnotes

 ^1. 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.

 ^2. files should be prepared using UTF-8 character encoding

 ^3. a footnote or endnote

 ^4. self contained endnote marker & endnote in one

 ^* unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote, insert multiple asterisks if required

 ^** another unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote

 ^*1. editors notes, numbered asterisk footnote/endnote series

 ^+1. editors notes, numbered asterisk footnote/endnote series
