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]<br>
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]<br>
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]
