WHAT IS SISU? -

1. INTRODUCTION - WHAT IS SISU? - -

SiSU is a framework for document structuring, publishing (in multiple -open standard formats) 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 -(including the population of sql databases) that (can) share a common numbering -system for the citation of text within a document. -

SiSU is developed under -an open source, software libre license (GPL3). Its use case for development -is to cope with medium to large document sets with evolving markup related -technologies, which should be prepared once, and for which you want multiple -output formats that can be updated and a common mechanism for cross-output-format -citation, and search. -

SiSU both defines a markup syntax and provides an -engine that produces open standards format outputs from documents prepared -with 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 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. -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. -

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 -SiSU markup applied to a document, SiSU custom builds (to take advantage -of the strengths of different ways of representing documents) various standard -open output formats including plain text, HTML, XHTML, XML, OpenDocument, -LaTeX or PDF files, and populate an SQL database with objects[^1] (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 works (finalized texts as opposed to -works that are frequently changed or updated) for which it provides a fixed -means of reference of content. -

In preparing a 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[^2] the different forms -of output requested. -

SiSU works with an abstraction of the document based -on its structure which is comprised of its structure (or frame)[^3] and -the objects[^4] it contains, which enables 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 well 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. -

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. SiSU provides the flexibility of outputing documents -in multiple non-proprietary open formats including html, pdf[^5] and the -ISO standard ODF.[^6] Whilst 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 SiSU can be migrated to other document formats. Further -security is provided by the fact that the software itself, 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. SiSU permits new forms -of output to be added as they become important, (Open Document Format text -was added in 2006 when it became an ISO standard for office applications -and the archival of documents), 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). -

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. -

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 SiSU offers great possibilities. -

SiSU is primarily for published works, -which can take advantage of the citation system to reliably reference its -documents. 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 SiSU -

For more see: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu -> - -

2.3 DOCUMENT PROCESSING COMMAND FLAGS -

-

- -
-a [filename/wildcard]
-
produces plaintext -with Unix linefeeds and without markup, (object numbers are omitted), has -footnotes at end of each paragraph that contains them [  -A  for  equivalent - dos  (linefeed)  output  file] [see  -e  for (Options include: --endnotes for endnotes ---footnotes for footnotes at the end of each paragraph --unix for unix linefeed -(default) --msdos for msdos linefeed) -

- -
-b [filename/wildcard]
-
produces xhtml/XML -output for browser viewing (sax parsing). -

- -
-C [--init-site]
-
configure/initialise -shared output directory files initialize shared output directory (config -files such as css and dtd files are not updated if they already exist unless -modifier is used). -C --init-site configure/initialise site more extensive than --C on its own, shared output directory files/force update, existing shared -output config files such as css and dtd files are updated if this modifier -is used. -

- -
-CC
-
configure/initialise shared output directory files initialize -shared output directory (config files such as css and dtd files are not -updated if they already exist unless modifier is used). The equivalent of: --C --init-site configure/initialise site, more extensive than -C on its own, -shared output directory files/force update, existing shared output config -files such as css and dtd files are updated if -CC is used. -

- -
-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). -

- -
-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. -

- -
-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; ---import [filename]; --update [filename]; --remove [filename]; see database section -below. -

- -
-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 -

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

- -
-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]. -

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

- -
-i [filename/wildcard] -
-
produces man page of file, not suitable for all outputs. -

- -
-L
-
prints license -information. -

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

- -
-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 -

- -
-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. -

- -
-n -[filename/wildcard/url]
-
skip meta-markup (building of -m which is otherwise -assumed by most processing flags. -

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

- -
-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). -

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

- -
-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 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 -

- -
-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 -

- -
-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). -

- -
-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. 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]. - -

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

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

-

- -
-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 -

- -
-u [filename/wildcard] -
-
provides url mapping of output files for the flags requested for processing, - -

also see -U -

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

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

- -
-v
-
on its own, provides SiSU version information -

- -
-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 -

- -
-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 and search -H;  also,  note  -F  webrick  ]. -

- -
-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) -

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

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

- -
-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]) -

- -
-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. - -

- -
-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. - -

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

- -
--harvest *.ss[tm]
-
makes two lists of sisu output based -on the sisu markup documents in a directory: list of author and authors -works (year and titles), and; list by topic with titles and author. Makes -use of header metadata fields (author, title, date, topic_register). Can -be used with maintenance (-M) and remote placement (-R) flags. -

-
-3. COMMAND -LINE MODIFIERS -

-

- -
--no-ocn
-
[with  -h  -H  or  -p] switches off object citation numbering. -Produce output without identifying numbers in margins of html or LaTeX/pdf -output. -

- -
--no-annotate
-
strips output text of editor endnotes[^*1] denoted by - -

asterisk or dagger/plus sign -

- -

-
strips output text of editor endnotes[^*2] - -

denoted by asterisk sign -

- -
--no-dagger

-4. DATABASE COMMANDS -

dbi - database interface - -

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

-

- -
-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. -

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

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

-
-5. SHORTCUTS, SHORTHAND FOR MULTIPLE FLAGS -

-

- -
--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. -

In the data directory run sisu -mh filename or wildcard -eg. cisg.sst documents. -

Running sisu (alone without any flags, filenames -or wildcards) brings up the interactive help, as does any sisu command -that is not recognised. Enter to escape. -

6. HELP -

6.1 SISU MANUAL -

The most -up to date information on sisu should be contained in the sisu_manual, -available at: -

<http://sisudoc.org/sisu/sisu_manual/ ->
- -

The manual can be generated from source, found respectively, either -within the SiSU tarball or installed locally at: -

./data/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/sisu_manual/
- -

/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/sisu_manual/
- -

move to the respective directory and type e.g.: -

sisu sisu_manual.ssm
- -

6.2 SISU MAN PAGES -

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

man sisu
- -

man sisu_markup
- -

man sisu_commands
- -

Most SiSU man pages are generated directly from sisu documents that -are used to prepare the sisu manual, the sources files for which are located -within the SiSU tarball at: -

./data/doc/sisu/sisu_manual/
- -

Once installed, directory equivalent to: -

/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_manual/
- -

Available man pages are converted back to html using man2html: -

/usr/share/doc/sisu/html/
- -

./data/doc/sisu/html/
- -

An online version of the sisu man page is available here: -

* various -sisu man pages <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/man/ -> [^7] -

* sisu.1 <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/man/sisu.1.html -> -[^8] -

6.3 SISU BUILT-IN INTERACTIVE HELP -

This is particularly useful for -getting the current sisu setup/environment information: -

sisu --help
- -

sisu --help [subject]
- -

sisu --help commands
- -

sisu --help markup
- -

sisu --help env [for  feedback  on  the  way  your  system  is
- setup  with  regard  to  sisu]
- -

sisu -V [environment  information,  same  as  above  command]
- -

sisu (on its own provides version and some help information)
- -

Apart from real-time information on your current configuration the SiSU -manual and man pages are likely to contain more up-to-date information than -the sisu interactive help (for example on commands and markup). -

NOTE: -Running the command 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. -

6.4 HELP SOURCES -

7. INTRODUCTION TO SISU MARKUP[^9] -

7.1 SUMMARY -

SiSU source documents -are plaintext (UTF-8)[^10] files -

All paragraphs are separated by an empty -line. -

Markup is comprised of: -

* at the top of a document, the document -header made up of semantic meta-data about the document and if desired additional -processing instructions (such an instruction to automatically number headings -from a particular level down) -

* followed by the prepared substantive -text of which the most important single characteristic is the markup of -different heading levels, which define the primary outline of the document -structure. Markup of substantive text includes: -

* heading levels defines -document structure
- -

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

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

* footnotes/endnotes
- -

* linked text and images
- -

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

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

markup or sisu --help markup -

To check the markup in a file: -

sisu --identify -[filename].sst
- -

For brief descriptive summary of markup history -

sisu --query-history
- -

or if for a particular version: -

sisu --query-0.38
- -

7.2 MARKUP EXAMPLES -

7.2.1 ONLINE -

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

There is of course this -document, which provides a cursory overview of sisu markup and the respective -output produced: <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup/ -> -

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

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

7.2.2 INSTALLED -

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 -

8. MARKUP OF HEADERS -

- Headers contain either: semantic meta-data about a document, which can -be used by any output module of the program, or; processing instructions. - -

Note: the first line of a document may include information on the markup -version used in the form of a comment. Comments are a percentage mark at -the start of a paragraph (and as the first character in a line of text) -followed by a space and the comment: -

-


-

  % this would be a comment

-9. MARKUP OF SUBSTANTIVE TEXT -

9.1 HEADING - -

LEVELS -

Heading levels are :A~ ,:B~ ,:C~ ,1~ ,2~ ,3~ ... :A - :C being part -/ section headings, followed by other heading levels, and 1 -6 being headings -followed by substantive text or sub-headings. :A~ usually the title :A~? -conditional level 1 heading (used where a stand-alone document may be imported -into another) -

:A~ [heading  text] Top level heading [this  usually  has - similar  content  to  the  ] NOTE: the heading levels described here are in -0.38 notation, see heading -

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

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

1~ [heading  text] Top level heading preceding -substantive text of document or sub-heading 2, the heading level that would -normally be marked 1. or 2. or 3. etc. in a document, and the level on which -sisu by default would break html output into named segments, names are -provided automatically if none are given (a number), otherwise takes the - -

form 1~my_filename_for_this_segment -

2~ [heading  text] Second level heading -preceding substantive text of document or sub-heading 3, the heading level -that would normally be marked 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.3 or 2.1 etc. in a document. -

-3~ [heading  text] Third level heading preceding substantive text of document, -that would normally be marked 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 or 1.2.1 or 2.1.1 etc. in a document - -

-


-

  1~filename level 1 heading,
-  % the primary division such as Chapter that is followed by substantive
-text, and may be further subdivided (this is the level on which by default
-html segments are made)
-
-

9.2 FONT ATTRIBUTES -

markup example: -

-


-

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

resulting output: -

normal text emphasis bold text underscore italics -<cite>citation</cite> ^superscript^  [subscript] <ins>inserted text</ins> <del>strikethrough</del> - -

normal text -

-

bold text -

underscore -

italics -

<cite>citation</cite> -

- ^superscript^ -

[subscript] -

<ins>inserted text</ins> -

<del>strikethrough</del> - -

9.3 INDENTATION AND BULLETS -

markup example: -

-


-

  ordinary paragraph
-  _1 indent paragraph one step
-  _2 indent paragraph two steps
-  _9 indent paragraph nine steps
-
-

-

resulting output: -

ordinary paragraph -

indent paragraph one step
- -

indent paragraph two steps
- -

indent paragraph nine steps
- -

markup example: -

-


-

  _* bullet text
-  _1* bullet text, first indent
-  _2* bullet text, two step indent
-
-

resulting output: -

* bullet text -

* bullet text, first indent
- -

* bullet text, two step indent
- -

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

markup example: -

-


-

  # numbered list                numbered list 1., 2., 3, etc.
-  _# numbered list numbered list indented a., b., c., d., etc.
-
-

9.4 FOOTNOTES / ENDNOTES -

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. -

markup example: -

-


-

  ~{ a footnote or endnote }~
-
-

resulting output: -

[^11] -

markup example: -

-


-

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

resulting output: -

normal text[^12] continues -

markup example: -

-


-

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

resulting output: -

normal text [^*] continues -

normal text [^**] continues - -

-

markup example: -

-


-

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

resulting output: -

normal text [^*3] continues -

normal text [^+2] continues - -

-

Alternative endnote pair notation for footnotes/endnotes: -

-


-

  % note the endnote marker
-  normal text~^ continues
-  ^~ endnote text following the paragraph in which the marker occurs
-
-

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

- -

9.5 LINKS -

9.5.1 NAKED URLS WITHIN TEXT, DEALING WITH URLS -

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). -

markup example: -

-


-

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

resulting output: -

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

An - -

escaped url without decoration -

markup example: -

-


-

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

resulting output: -

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

deb - -

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

where a code block -is used there is neither decoration nor hyperlinking, code blocks are discussed - -

later in this document -

resulting output: -

-


-

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

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

markup example: - -

-


-

  about { SiSU }http://url.org markup
-
-

9.5.2 LINKING TEXT -

resulting output: -

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

markup -

A shortcut notation is available so the url link may also be provided - -

automatically as a footnote -

markup example: -

-


-

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

resulting output: -

about SiSU <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/ -> [^13] markup -

- -

9.5.3 LINKING IMAGES -

markup example: -

-


-

  { tux.png 64x80 }image
-  % various url linked images
-  {tux.png 64x80
-  {GnuDebianLinuxRubyBetterWay.png 100x101
-  {~^ ruby_logo.png
-
-

resulting output: -

[ tux.png ] -

tux.png 64x80 -

[  ruby_logo  (png  missing) - ] [^14] -

GnuDebianLinuxRubyBetterWay.png 100x101 and Ruby -

linked url footnote - -

shortcut -

-


-

  {~^  [text  to  link] }http://url.org
-  % maps to: {  [text  to  link] }http://url.org ~{ http://url.org }~
-  % which produces hyper-linked text within a document/paragraph, with an
-endnote providing the url for the text location used in the hyperlink
-
-

-


-

  text marker *~name
-
-

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

9.6 GROUPED TEXT -

9.6.1 - -

TABLES -

Tables may be prepared in two either of two forms -

markup example: - -

-


-

  table{ c3; 40; 30; 30;
-  This is a table
-  this would become column two of row one
-  column three of row one is here
-  And here begins another row
-  column two of row two
-  column three of row two, and so on
-  }table
-
-

resulting output: -

 [table  omitted,  see  other  document  formats]
- -

a second form may be easier to work with in cases where there is not - -

much information in each column -

markup example: [^15] -

-

9.6.4 CODE -

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. -

A code-block is treated as -an object and given a single object number. [an more than 100 times in last -month. option  to  number  each  line  of  code  may  be  considered  at more than -100 times in last month. some  later  time] -

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

9.7 BOOK INDEX -

To make an index append to paragraph the book index term -relates to it, using an equal sign and curly braces. -

Currently two levels -are provided, a main term and if needed a sub-term. Sub-terms are separated -from the main term by a colon. -

-


-

    Paragraph containing main term and sub-term.
-    ={Main term:sub-term}
-
-

The index syntax starts on a new line, but there should not be an empty -line between paragraph and index markup. -

The structure of the resulting -index would be: -

-


-

    Main term, 1
-      sub-term, 1
-
-

Several terms may relate to a paragraph, they are separated by a semicolon. -If the term refers to more than one paragraph, indicate the number of paragraphs. - -

-


-

    Paragraph containing main term, second term and sub-term.
-    ={first term; second term: sub-term}
-
-

The structure of the resulting index would be: -

-


-

    First term, 1,
-    Second term, 1,
-      sub-term, 1
-
-

If multiple sub-terms appear under one paragraph, they are separated under -the main term heading from each other by a pipe symbol. -

-


-

    Paragraph containing main term, second term and sub-term.
-    ={Main term:sub-term+1|second sub-term
-    A paragraph that continues discussion of the first sub-term
-
-

The plus one in the example provided indicates the first sub-term spans -one additional paragraph. The logical structure of the resulting index would -be: -

-


-

    Main term, 1,
-      sub-term, 1-3,
-      second sub-term, 1,
-
-

10. COMPOSITE DOCUMENTS MARKUP -

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

A secondary file of the composite document is built prior to processing - -

with the same prefix and the suffix ._sst -

basic markup for importing a - -

document into a master document -

-


-

  << filename1.sst
-  << filename2.ssi
-
-

The form described above should be relied on. Within the Vim editor it -results in the text thus linked becoming hyperlinked to the document it -is calling in which is convenient for editing. Alternative markup for importation -of documents under consideration, and occasionally supported have been. - -

-


-

  << filename.ssi
-  <<{filename.ssi}
-  % using textlink alternatives
-  << |filename.ssi|@|^|
-
-

MARKUP SYNTAX HISTORY -

11. NOTES RELATED TO FILES-TYPES AND MARKUP SYNTAX - -

0.38 is substantially current, depreciated 0.16 supported, though file - -

names were changed at 0.37 -

* sisu --query=[sisu  version  [0.38] or ’history] - -

provides a short history of changes to SiSU markup -

0.57 (2007w34/4) -SiSU 0.57 is the same as 0.42 with the introduction of some a shortcut to -use the headers @title and @creator in the first heading [expanded  using - the  and  @author:] -

-


-

  :A~ @title by @author
-
-

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

.B SiSU
- 0.52 -

or, backward compatible using the comment marker: -

%
- SiSU 0.38 -

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

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

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

SiSU 0.42 is -the same as 0.38 with the introduction of some additional endnote types, - -

Introduces some variations on endnotes, in particular the use of the - -

asterisk -

-


-

  ~{* for example for describing an author }~ and ~{** for describing a
-second author }~
-
-

* for example for describing an author -

** for describing a second author - -

and -

-


-

  ~[*  my  note  ]~ or ~[+  another  note  ]~
-
-

which numerically increments an asterisk and plus respectively -

*1 my - -

note +1 another note -

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) -

SiSU -0.38 introduced alternative experimental header and heading/structure markers, - -

-


-

  @headername: and headers :A~ :B~ :C~ 1~ 2~ 3~
-
-

as the equivalent of: -

-


-

  0~headername and headers 1~ 2~ 3~ 4~ 5~ 6~
-
-

The internal document markup of SiSU 0.16 remains valid and standard Though - -

note that SiSU 0.37 introduced a new file naming convention -

SiSU has in -effect two sets of levels to be considered, using 0.38 notation A-C headings/levels, -pre-ordinary paragraphs /pre-substantive text, and 1-3 headings/levels, levels -which are followed by ordinary text. This may be conceptualised as levels -A,B,C, 1,2,3, and using such letter number notation, in effect: A must -exist, optional B and C may follow in sequence (not strict) 1 must exist, -optional 2 and 3 may follow in sequence i.e. there are two independent heading -level sequences A,B,C and 1,2,3 (using the 0.16 standard notation 1,2,3 -and 4,5,6) on the positive side: the 0.38 A,B,C,1,2,3 alternative makes -explicit an aspect of structuring documents in SiSU that is not otherwise -obvious to the newcomer (though it appears more complicated, is more in -your face and likely to be understood fairly quickly); the substantive -text follows levels 1,2,3 and it is ’nice’ to do most work in those levels - -

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

SiSU 0.37 introduced new -file naming convention, using the file extensions .sst .ssm and .ssi to replace -.s1 .s2 .s3 .r1 .r2 .r3 and .si
- -

this is captured by the following file ’rename’ instruction: -

-


-

  rename ’s/.s[123]$/.sst/’ *.s{1,2,3}
-  rename ’s/.r[123]$/.ssm/’ *.r{1,2,3}
-  rename ’s/.si$/.ssi/’ *.si
-
-

The internal document markup remains unchanged, from SiSU 0.16 -

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

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

file -

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

to be relied upon -

0.20.4 (2005w33/4) header 0~links -

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 -

SiSU 0.16 (0.15 development branch) introduced the use of -

the -header 0~ and headings/structure 1~ 2~ 3~ 4~ 5~ 6~ -

in place of the 0.1 -header, heading/structure notation -

SiSU 0.1 headers and headings structure -represented by header 0{~ and headings/structure 1{ 2{ 3{ 4{~ 5{ 6{ -

12. -SISU FILETYPES -

SiSU has plaintext and binary filetypes, and can process -either type of document. -

12.1 .SST .SSM .SSI MARKED UP PLAIN TEXT -

SiSU documents -are prepared as plain-text (utf-8) files with SiSU markup. They may make reference -to and contain images (for example), which are stored in the directory -beneath them _sisu/image. 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.
- -

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. - -

SiSU source markup can be shared with the command: -

sisu -s [filename]
- -

12.1.1 SISU TEXT - REGULAR FILES (.SST) -

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

<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup -> - -

<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_manual -> -

12.1.2 SISU MASTER FILES (.SSM) -

Composite -documents which incorporate other SiSU documents which may be either regular -SiSU text .sst which may be generated independently, or inserts prepared -solely for the purpose of being incorporated into one or more master documents. - -

The mechanism by which master files incorporate other documents is described -as one of the headings under under SiSU markup in the SiSU manual. -

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. -

Note: a secondary file of the composite document -is built prior to processing with the same prefix and the suffix ._sst [^16] - -

<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup -> -

<http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_manual -> - -

12.1.3 SISU INSERT FILES (.SSI) -

Inserts are documents prepared solely for -the purpose of being incorporated into one or more master documents. They -resemble regular SiSU text files except they are ignored by the 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. -

12.2 SISUPOD, -ZIPPED BINARY CONTAINER (SISUPOD.ZIP, .SSP) -

A sisupod is a zipped SiSU -text file or set of SiSU text files and any associated images that they -contain (this will be extended to include sound and multimedia-files) -

-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. -

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 SiSU documents. -

The command to create -a sisupod is: -

sisu -S [filename]
- -

Alternatively, make a pod of the contents of a whole directory: -

-sisu -S
- -

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. -

13. EXPERIMENTAL ALTERNATIVE INPUT -REPRESENTATIONS -

13.1 ALTERNATIVE XML -

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. -

convert from sst to simple xml representations (sax, -dom and node): -

sisu --to-sax [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxs [filename/wildcard]
- -

sisu --to-dom [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxd [filename/wildcard]
- -

sisu --to-node [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxn [filename/wildcard]
- -

-

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

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

or the same: -

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

13.1.1 XML SAX REPRESENTATION -

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

sisu --to-sax [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxs [filename/wildcard]
- -

To convert from any sisu xml representation back to sst -

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

or the same: -

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

13.1.2 XML DOM REPRESENTATION -

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

sisu --to-dom [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxd [filename/wildcard]
- -

To convert from any sisu xml representation back to sst -

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

or the same: -

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

13.1.3 XML NODE REPRESENTATION -

To convert from sst to simple xml (node) -representation: -

sisu --to-node [filename/wildcard] or sisu --to-sxn [filename/wildcard]
- -

To convert from any sisu xml representation back to sst -

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

or the same: -

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

14. CONFIGURATION -

14.1 DETERMINING THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION -

Information -on the current configuration of SiSU should be available with the help -command: -

sisu -v
- -

which is an alias for: -

sisu --help env
- -

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

14.2 CONFIGURATION FILES (CONFIG.YML) -

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. -

The SiSU configuration file is a yaml file, which -means indentation is significant. -

SiSU resource configuration is determined -by looking at the following files if they exist: -

./_sisu/sisurc.yml
- -

~/.sisu/sisurc.yml
- -

/etc/sisu/sisurc.yml
- -

The search is in the order listed, and the first one found is used. -

- In the absence of instructions in any of these it falls back to the internal -program defaults. -

Configuration determines the output and processing directories -and the database access details. -

If SiSU is installed a sample sisurc.yml - -

may be found in /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml -

15. SKINS -

Skins modify the default -appearance of document output on a document, directory, or site wide basis. -Skins are looked for in the following locations: -

./_sisu/skin
- -

~/.sisu/skin
- -

/etc/sisu/skin
- -

Within the skin directory are the following the default sub-directories -for document skins: -

./skin/doc
- -

./skin/dir
- -

./skin/site
- -

A skin is placed in the appropriate directory and the file named skin_[name].rb - -

The skin itself is a ruby file which modifies the default appearances -set in the program. -

15.1 DOCUMENT SKIN -

Documents take on a document skin, -if the header of the document specifies a skin to be used. -

-


-

  @skin: skin_united_nations
-
-

15.2 DIRECTORY SKIN -

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). -

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. - -

15.3 SITE SKIN -

A site skin, modifies the program default skin. -

15.4 SAMPLE - -

SKINS -

With SiSU installed sample skins may be found in: -

/etc/sisu/skin/doc -and
- /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/doc
- -

(or equivalent directory) and if sisu-markup-samples is installed also -under: -

/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/non-free/_sisu/skin/doc
- -

Samples of list.yml and promo.yml (which are used to create the right -column list) may be found in: -

/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/yml -(or equivalent
- directory)
- -

16. CSS - CASCADING STYLE SHEETS (FOR HTML, XHTML AND XML) -

CSS files -to modify the appearance of 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. -

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. - -

HTML: html.css -

XML DOM: dom.css -

XML SAX: sax.css -

XHTML: xhtml.css -

- The default homepage may use homepage.css or html.css -

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.[^17] -

17. ORGANISING CONTENT -

17.1 DIRECTORY STRUCTURE - -

AND MAPPING -

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) -

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. - -

17.2 ORGANISING CONTENT -

18. HOMEPAGES -

SiSU is about the ability to auto-generate -documents. Home pages are regarded as custom built items, and are not created -by SiSU 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: -

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) - -

2. through providing what you want as the home page in a skin, -

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. -

18.1 HOME PAGE AND OTHER CUSTOM BUILT - -

PAGES IN A SUB-DIRECTORY -

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: -

sisu -CC
- -

18.2 HOME PAGE WITHIN A SKIN -

Skins are described in a separate section, -but basically are a file written in the programming language 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. -

- 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 -

-


-

    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
-
-

19. MARKUP AND OUTPUT EXAMPLES -

19.1 MARKUP EXAMPLES -

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

Some markup with syntax highlighting may be found under <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax -> -but is not as up to date. -

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. -

20. -SISU SEARCH - INTRODUCTION -

SiSU output can easily and conveniently be -indexed by a number of standalone indexing tools, such as Lucene, Hyperestraier. - -

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. -

In addition to this 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. -

21. SQL -

21.1 POPULATING SQL TYPE DATABASES - -

SiSU feeds sisu markupd documents into sql type databases PostgreSQL[^18] -and/or SQLite[^19] database together with information related to document -structure. -

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: -

* one containing semantic -(and other) headers, including, title, author,
- subject, (the Dublin Core...);
- -

* another the substantive texts by individual
- 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
- -

* a third containing endnotes cross-referenced back to the paragraph -from
- which they are referenced (both in formatted and clean text versions -for
- searching).
- -

* 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.
- -

There is of course the possibility to add further structures. -

At this -level 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. -

Being able to search a relational -database at an object level with the SiSU citation system is an effective -way of locating content generated by SiSU 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). -

24.1 SEARCH - DATABASE FRONTEND SAMPLE, UTILISING -DATABASE AND SISU FEATURES, INCLUDING OBJECT CITATION NUMBERING (BACKEND -CURRENTLY POSTGRESQL) -

Sample search frontend <http://search.sisudoc.org -> -[^20] A small database and sample query front-end (search from) that makes -use of the citation system, object citation numbering to demonstrates functionality.[^21] - -

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. -

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.[^22] -

-24.2 SEARCH FORM -

-

- -
sisu -F
-
generates a sample search form, which must - -

be copied to the web-server cgi directory -

- -
sisu -F --webserv-webrick
-
generates -a sample search form for use with the webrick server, which must be copied - -

to the web-server cgi directory -

- -
sisu -Fv
-
as above, and provides some information - -

on setting up hyperestraier -

- -
sisu -W
-
starts the webrick server which should - -

be available wherever sisu is properly installed -

The generated search - -

form must be copied manually to the webserver directory as instructed -

-

-
-25. HYPERESTRAIER -

See the documentation for hyperestraier: -

<http://hyperestraier.sourceforge.net/ ->
- -

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

man estcmd
- -

on sisu_hyperestraier: -

man sisu_hyperestraier
- -

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

NOTE: the examples that follow assume that sisu output is placed in - -

the directory /home/ralph/sisu_www -

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

estcmd gather -sd [index  name] [directory - path  to  index]
- -

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

cd /home/ralph/sisu_www
- -

estcmd gather -sd casket /home/ralph/sisu_www
- -

you may use the ’find’ command together with ’egrep’ to limit indexing to -particular document collection directories within the web server directory: - -

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

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

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. -

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

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

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 -
- -

(B) to set up the search form -

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

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

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

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

[see  estraier  documentation  for  paths]
- -

(ii) edit estseek.conf, with attention to the lines starting ’indexname:’ -and ’replace:’: -

indexname: /home/ralph/sisu_www/casket
- -

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

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

(C) to test using webrick, start webrick: -

sisu -W
- -

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

26.2 SYNOPSIS -

sisu_webrick [port] -

or -

sisu -W [port] - -

26.3 DESCRIPTION -

sisu_webrick is part of SiSU (man sisu) sisu_webrick -starts Ruby ’s Webrick web-server and points it to the directories to which -SiSU output is written, providing a list of these directories (assuming -SiSU is in use and they exist). -

The default port for sisu_webrick is set -to 8081, this may be modified in the yaml file: ~/.sisu/sisurc.yml a sample -of which is provided as /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml (or in the equivalent directory -on your system). -

26.4 SUMMARY OF MAN PAGE -

sisu_webrick, may be started -on it’s own with the command: sisu_webrick [port] or using the sisu command -with the -W flag: sisu -W [port] -

where no port is given and settings are - -

unchanged the default port is 8081 -

26.5 DOCUMENT PROCESSING COMMAND FLAGS - -

sisu -W [port] starts Ruby Webrick web-server, serving SiSU output directories, -on the port provided, or if no port is provided and the defaults have not - -

been changed in ~/.sisu/sisurc.yaml then on port 8081 -

27. REMOTE SOURCE DOCUMENTS -

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 SiSU -documents can either be sisu marked up files in plaintext .sst or .ssm or; -zipped sisu files, sisupod.zip or filename.ssp -

.sst / .ssm - sisu text files - -

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. -

-


-

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

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

NOTE: to set up a remote machine to serve SiSU -documents in this way, images should be in the directory relative to the - -

document source ../_sisu/image -

sisupod - zipped sisu files -

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. -

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. -

-


-

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

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

REMOTE DOCUMENT OUTPUT -

28. REMOTE OUTPUT -

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

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. -

-


-

  sisu -3R sisu_remote.sst
-
-

28.1 COMMANDS -

-

- -
-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 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 -

- -
-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 - -

-28.2 CONFIGURATION -

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

29. REMOTE SERVERS -

As SiSU is generally operated using the command line, -and works within a Unix type environment, 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. -

30. QUICKSTART - GETTING STARTED HOWTO - -

30.1 INSTALLATION -

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

30.1.1 DEBIAN INSTALLATION - -

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

-


-

    aptitude update
-    aptitude install sisu-complete
-
-

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

-


-

  #/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
-
-

The aptitude commands become: -

-


-

    aptitude update
-    aptitude install sisu-complete sisu-markup-samples
-
-

If there are newer versions of SiSU upstream of the Debian archives, - -

they will be available by adding the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list - -

-


-

  #/etc/apt/sources.list
-    deb http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free
-    deb-src http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free
-
-

repeat the aptitude commands -

-


-

    aptitude update
-    aptitude install sisu-complete sisu-markup-samples
-
-

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. -

30.1.2 RPM INSTALLATION -

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

They may be downloaded from: -

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

as root type: -

rpm -i [rpm  package  name]
- -

30.1.3 INSTALLATION FROM SOURCE -

To install SiSU from source check information -at: -

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

* download the source package -

* Unpack the source -

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: -

For basic use -SiSU is only dependent on the programming language in which it is written -Ruby , and 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)[^23] or converting LaTeX to pdf. -

setup.rb -

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

-


-

      ruby setup.rb config
-      ruby setup.rb setup
-      #[and  as  root:]
-      ruby setup.rb install
-
-

further information on setup.rb is available from: -

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

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

-

The root directory of the unpacked SiSU as root type: -

ruby install -base
- -

or for a more complete installation: -

ruby install
- -

or -

ruby install base
- -

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. -

Further - -

information on -

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

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

For a list of alternative actions you may type: -

ruby install help
- -

ruby install -T
- -

30.2 TESTING SISU, GENERATING OUTPUT -

To check which version of sisu -is installed: -

sisu -v -

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

- -

or -

-

change directory to the appropriate one: -

cd /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg - -

30.2.1 BASIC TEXT, PLAINTEXT, HTML, XML, ODF -

Having moved to the directory -that contains the markup samples (see instructions above if necessary), - -

choose a file and run sisu against it -

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

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

30.2.2 LATEX / PDF -

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

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

against it -

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

sisu -3 free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst -

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 -

30.2.3 RELATIONAL DATABASE - POSTGRESQL, SQLITE - -

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

Assuming you have - -

the database installed and the requisite permissions -

sisu --sqlite --recreate - -

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

sisu --pgsql --recreate -

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

30.3 GETTING HELP -

NOTE: -

[  .B  SiSU  parses  files  with  long  lines  or  line  breaks, but,  display - linewrap  (without  line-breaks)  is  a  convenient editor  feature  to  have  for - sisu  markup] -

32. HOW DOES SISU WORK? -

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. 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). -

33. SUMMARY OF FEATURES -

* 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 headers -are optional. -

* 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]. - -

* 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. 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  paper  publication,  sql  search  etc.] (html, -xml, odf, latex, pdf, sql) -

* 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: -

* html - both as a single scrollable text and a segmented document
- -

* xhtml
- -

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

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

* LaTeX - used to generate pdf
- -

* pdf (via LaTeX)
- -

* sql - population of an sql database, (at the same object level that -is
- used to cite text within a document)
- -

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)) -

* -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. -

* 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]. -

* 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 (open document text) module in 2006 -and in future html5 output sometime in future, without modification of - -

existing prepared texts -

* SQL search aside, documents are generated as -required and static once generated. -

* 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) - -

* document source (plaintext utf-8) if shared on the net may be used as - -

input and processed locally to produce the different document outputs -

- * 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 - -

* generated document outputs may automatically be posted to remote sites. - -

* for basic document generation, the only software dependency is 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. -

* as a developers - -

tool it is flexible and extensible -

Syntax highlighting for SiSU markup -is available for a number of text editors. -

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 -

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)... -

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. -
