    <b>SiSU</b> both defines a markup syntax and provides an engine that produces open standards format outputs from documents prepared with <b>SiSU</b> markup. From a single lightly prepared document sisu custom builds several standard output formats which share a common (text object) numbering system for citation of content within a document (that also has implications for search). The sisu engine works with an abstraction of the document's structure and content from which it is possible to generate different forms of representation of the document. Significantly <b>SiSU</b> markup is more sparse than html and outputs which include html, LaTeX, landscape and portrait pdfs, Open Document Format (ODF), all of which can be added to and updated. <b>SiSU</b> is also able to populate SQL type databases at an object level, which means that searches can be made with that degree of granularity. Results of objects (primarily paragraphs and headings) can be viewed directly in the database, or just the object numbers shown - your search criteria is met in these documents and at these locations within each document.

    Source document preparation and output generation is a two step process: (i) document source is prepared, that is, marked up in sisu markup syntax and (ii) the desired output subsequently generated by running the sisu engine against document source. Output representations if updated (in the sisu engine) can be generated by re-running the engine against the prepared source. Using <b>SiSU</b> markup applied to a document, <b>SiSU</b> custom builds various standard open output formats including plain text, HTML, XHTML, XML, OpenDocument, LaTeX or PDF files, and populate an SQL database with objects&nbsp;<a name="-3" href="#_3">&nbsp;<sup>3</sup>&nbsp;</a>  (equating generally to paragraph-sized chunks) so searches may be performed and matches returned with that degree of granularity ( e.g. your search criteria is met by these documents and at these locations within each document). Document output formats share a common object numbering system for locating content. This is particularly suitable for "published" works (finalized texts as opposed to works that are frequently changed or updated) for which it provides a fixed means of reference of content.

    In preparing a <b>SiSU</b> document you optionally provide semantic information related to the document in a document header, and in marking up the substantive text provide information on the structure of the document, primarily indicating heading levels and footnotes. You also provide information on basic text attributes where used. The rest is automatic, sisu from this information custom builds&nbsp;<a name="-4" href="#_4">&nbsp;<sup>4</sup>&nbsp;</a>  the different forms of output requested.

    <b>SiSU</b> works with an abstraction of the document based on its structure which is comprised of its frame&nbsp;<a name="-5" href="#_5">&nbsp;<sup>5</sup>&nbsp;</a>  and the objects&nbsp;<a name="-6" href="#_6">&nbsp;<sup>6</sup>&nbsp;</a>  it contains, which enables <b>SiSU</b> to represent the document in many different ways, and to take advantage of the strengths of different ways of presenting documents. The objects are numbered, and these numbers can be used to provide a common base for citing material within a document across the different output format types. This is significant as page numbers are not suited to the digital age, in web publishing, changing a browser's default font or using a different browser means that text appears on different pages; and in publishing in different formats, html, landscape and portrait pdf etc. again page numbers are of no use to cite text in a manner that is relevant against the different output types. Dealing with documents at an object level together with object numbering also has implications for search.

    One of the challenges of maintaining documents is to keep them in a format that would allow users to use them without depending on a proprietary software popular at the time. Consider the ease of dealing with legacy proprietary formats today and what guarantee you have that old proprietary formats will remain (or can be read without proprietary software/equipment) in 15 years time, or the way the way in which html has evolved over its relatively short span of existence. <b>SiSU</b> provides the flexibility of outputing documents in multiple non-proprietary open formats including html, pdf&nbsp;<a name="-7" href="#_7">&nbsp;<sup>7</sup>&nbsp;</a>  and the ISO standard ODF.&nbsp;<a name="-8" href="#_8">&nbsp;<sup>8</sup>&nbsp;</a>  Whilst <b>SiSU</b> relies on software, the markup is uncomplicated and minimalistic which guarantees that future engines can be written to run against it. It is also easily converted to other formats, which means documents prepared in <b>SiSU</b> can be migrated to other document formats. Further security is provided by the fact that the software itself, <b>SiSU</b> is available under GPL3 a licence that guarantees that the source code will always be open, and free as in libre which means that that code base can be used updated and further developed as required under the terms of its license. Another challenge is to keep up with a moving target. <b>SiSU</b> permits new forms of output to be added as they become important, (Open Document Format text was added in 2006), and existing output to be updated (html has evolved and the related module has been updated repeatedly over the years, presumably when the World Wide Web Consortium (w3c) finalises html 5 which is currently under development, the html module will again be updated allowing all existing documents to be regenerated as html 5).
