1. Skins
4
Skins modify the default appearance of document output on a document, directory, or site wide basis. Skins are looked for in the following locations:
5
./_sisu/skin
6
~/.sisu/skin
7
/etc/sisu/skin
8
Within the skin directory are the following the default sub-directories for document skins:
9
./skin/doc
10
./skin/dir
11
./skin/site
12
A skin is placed in the appropriate directory and the file named skin_[name].rb
13
The skin itself is a ruby file which modifies the default appearances set in the program.

1.1
1.1 Document Skin
15
Documents take on a document skin, if the header of the document specifies a skin to be used.
16
@skin: skin_united_nations
17
1.2
1.2 Directory Skin
18
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).
19
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.

1.3 Site Skin
