1 SiSU - Skins,
Ralph Amissah 2 Document Skins - configuration 3 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. 14 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 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. 20 1.3 Site Skin 21 A site skin, modifies the program default skin. 22 1.4 Sample Skins 23 With SiSU installed sample skins may be found in: 24 /etc/sisu/skin/doc and /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/doc 25 (or equivalent directory) and if sisu-markup-samples is installed also under: 26 /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/non-free/_sisu/skin/doc 27 Samples of list.yml and promo.yml (which are used to create the right column list) may be found in: 28 /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/yml (or equivalent directory)
