<b>SiSU</b> currently "understands" three XML input representations -
or more accurately, converts from three forms of XML to native
<b>SiSU</b> markup for processing. The three types correspond to SAX
(structure described), DOM (structure embedded, whole document must be
read before structure is correctly discernable) and node based (a tree)
forms of XML document structure representation. Problem is I use them
very seldom and check that all is as it should be with them seldom, so
I would not be surprised if something breaks there, but as far as I
know they are working. I will check and add an XML markup help page
before the next release. There already is a bit of information in the
man page under the title <b>SiSU</b> VERSION CONVERSION

1.6 LaTeX claims to be a document preparation system for high-quality
typesetting. Can the same be said about SiSU?
</text>
</object>
<object id="36">
<ocn>36</ocn>
<text class="norm">
<b>SiSU</b> is not really about type-setting.
</text>
</object>
<object id="37">
<ocn>37</ocn>
<text class="norm">
LaTeX is the ultimate computer instruction type-setting language for
paper based publication.
</text>
</object>
<object id="38">
<ocn>38</ocn>
<text class="norm">
LaTeX is able to control just about everything that happens on page and
pixel, position letters kerning, space variation between characters,
words, paragraphs etc. formula.
</text>
</object>
<object id="39">
<ocn>39</ocn>
<text class="norm">
<b>SiSU</b> is not really about type-setting at all. It is about a
lightweight markup instruction that provides enough information for an
abstraction of the documents structure and objects, from which
different forms of representation of the document can be generated.
</text>
</object>
<object id="40">
<ocn>40</ocn>
<text class="norm">
<b>SiSU</b> with very little markup instruction is able to produce
relatively high quality pdf by virtue of being able to generate usable
default LaTeX; it produces "quality" html by generating the html
directly; likewise it populates an SQL database in a useful way with
the document in object sized chunks and its meta-data. But <b>SiSU</b>
works on an abstraction of the document's structure and content and
custom builds suitable uniform output. The html for browser viewing and
pdf for paper viewing/publishing are rather different things with
different needs for layout - as indeed is what is needed to store
information in a database in searchable objects.
</text>
</object>
<object id="41">
<ocn>41</ocn>
<text class="norm">
The pdfs or html produced for example by open office based on open
document format and other office/word processor suits usually attempt
to have similar looking outputs - your document rendered in html looks
much the same, or in pdf... sisu is less this way, it seeks to have a
starting point with as little information about appearance as possible,
and to come up with the best possible appearance for each output that
can be derived based on this minimal information.
</text>
</object>
<object id="42">
<ocn>42</ocn>
<text class="norm">
Where there are large document sets, it provides consistency in
appearance in each output format for the documents.
</text>
</object>
<object id="43">
<ocn>43</ocn>
<text class="norm">
The excuse for going this way is, it is a waste of time to think much
about appearance when working on substantive content, it is the
substantive content that is relevant, not the way it looks beyond the
basic informational tags - and yet you want to be able to take
advantage of as many useful different ways of representing documents as
are available, and for various types of output to to be/look as good as
it can for each medium/format in which it is presented, (with different
mediums having different focuses) and <b>SiSU</b> tries to achieve this
from minimal markup.

1.7 How do I create GIN or GiST index in Postgresql for use in SiSU

<object id="45">
