37. Getting Help

  1464

An online manual of sorts should be available at:

  1465

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

  1466

The manual pages provided with SiSU are also available online, and there is an interactive help, which is being superseded by the man page, and possibly some document which contains this component.

  1467

37.1 SiSU "man" pages

  1468

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

  1469

man sisu

  1470

The SiSU man pages can be viewed online at:  ⁹⁹ 

  1471

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

  1472

  1473

  1475

  1477

37.2 SiSU built-in help

  1478

sisu --help

  1479

sisu --help [subject]

  1480

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

  1481

sisu -V [same as above command]

  1482

sisu --help commands

  1483

sisu --help markup

  1484

37.3 Command Line with Flags - Batch Processing

  1485

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

  1486

In the data directory run sisu -mh filename or wildcard eg. "sisu -h cisg.sst" or "sisu -h *.{sst,ssm}" to produce html version of all documents.

With regard to SiSU man pages the formatting generated for markup syntax is not quite right, for that you might prefer the links under:
