2~ Name
SiSU - Structured information, Serialized Units - a document publishing system.
2~ Description
Information creating pdf output with sisu (and related to the sisu_pdf dependency package, which is a dummy package to install dependencies needed for SiSU to generate pdfs (primarily related to LaTeX), sisu_pdf being part of SiSU - man sisu).
SiSU generates LaTeX which is converted by LaTeX tools to pdf.
2~ Synopsis
_1 sisu -pv [filename/wildcard]
2~ Commands
!_ sisu -pv [filename/wildcard]
creates two pdf documents: vertical (portrait.pdf) and; horizontal (landscape.pdf). SiSU generates LaTeX output which is converted to pdf if the appropriate LaTeX dependencies are met on the system.
!_ sisu -pv --papersize-a4 [filename/wildcard]
overrides the default papersize set to A4. Preset alternative sizes include: 'A4', U.S. 'letter' and 'legal' and book sizes 'A5' and 'B5' (system defaults to A4).
2~ Setting Paper Size
The paper-size may be set to any of the following sizes: 'A4', U.S. 'letter' and 'legal' and book sizes: 'A5' and 'B5'
# The preset default if not otherwise given in the configuration file or elsewhere is A4.
# The default paper size may be set in the configuration file sisurc.yml. See sisu_configuration:
code{
#% papersize, (LaTeX/pdf) current values A4, US_letter, book_b5, book_a5, US_legal
default:
papersize: 'A4'
}code
# Paper size may be set in a document header:
code{
@papersize: (A4|US_letter|book_B5|book_A5|US_legal)
}code
# or provided with additional command line parameter, e.g.
_1 sisu -pv --papersize-a4 [filename/wildcard]
