SISU - CONFIGURATION, RALPH AMISSAH  
<p> CONFIGURATION OF ENVIRONMENT  
<p> 1. CONFIGURATION
 
<p> 1.1 DETERMINING THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION 
<p>  Information on the current
configuration of <b>SiSU</b> should be available with the help command: 
<p>    sisu
-v<br>
 
<p>  which is an alias for: 
<p>    sisu --help env<br>
 
<p>  Either of these should be executed from within a directory that contains
sisu markup source documents. 
<p> 1.2 CONFIGURATION FILES (CONFIG.YML) 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b>
configration parameters are adjusted in the configuration file, which can
be used to override the defaults set. This includes such things as which
directory interim processing should be done in and where the generated
output should be placed. 
<p>  The <b>SiSU</b> configuration file is a yaml file, which
means indentation is significant. 
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> resource configuration is determined
by looking at the following files if they exist: 
<p>    ./_sisu/sisurc.yml<br>
 
<p>    ~/.sisu/sisurc.yml<br>
 
<p>    /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml<br>
 
<p>  The search is in the order listed, and the first one found is used. 
<p>
 In the absence of instructions in any of these it falls back to the internal
program defaults. 
<p>  Configuration determines the output and processing directories
and the database access details. 
<p>  If <b>SiSU</b> is installed a sample sisurc.yml

<p>may be found in /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml 
<p> CONFIGURATION OF DOCUMENTS  
<p> 2. SKINS
 
<p>  Skins modify the default appearance of document output on a document,
directory, or site wide basis. Skins are looked for in the following locations:

<p>    ./_sisu/skin<br>
 
<p>    ~/.sisu/skin<br>
 
<p>    /etc/sisu/skin<br>
 
<p>  <b>Within the skin directory</b> are the following the default sub-directories
for document skins: 
<p>    ./skin/doc<br>
 
<p>    ./skin/dir<br>
 
<p>    ./skin/site<br>
 
<p>  A skin is placed in the appropriate directory and the file named skin_[name].rb

<p>  The skin itself is a ruby file which modifies the default appearances
set in the program. 
<p> 2.1 DOCUMENT SKIN 
<p>  Documents take on a document skin,
if the header of the document specifies a skin to be used. 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>  @skin: skin_united_nations
</pre>
<p> 2.2 DIRECTORY SKIN 
<p>  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). 
<p>  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.

<p> 2.3 SITE SKIN 
<p>  A site skin, modifies the program default skin. 
<p> 2.4 SAMPLE

<p>SKINS 
<p>  With <b>SiSU</b> installed sample skins may be found in: 
<p>    /etc/sisu/skin/doc
and<br>
   /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/doc<br>
 
<p>  (or equivalent directory) and if sisu-markup-samples is installed also
under: 
<p>    /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/non-free/_sisu/skin/doc<br>
 
<p>  Samples of list.yml and promo.yml (which are used to create the right
column list) may be found in: 
<p>    /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/yml
(or equivalent<br>
   directory)<br>
 
<p> 3. HOMEPAGES  
<p>  <b>SiSU</b> is about the ability to auto-generate documents. Home
pages are regarded as custom built items, and are not created by <b>SiSU</b> 
<b>SiSU</b> has a default home page, which will not be appropriate for use with
other sites, and the means to provide your own home page instead in one
of two ways as part of a site&rsquo;s configuration, these being: 
<p>  1. through
placing your home page and other custom built documents in the subdirectory
_sisu/home/ (this probably being the easier and more convenient option)

<p>  2. through providing what you want as the home page in a skin, 
<p>  Document
sets are contained in directories, usually organised by site or subject.
Each directory can/should have its own homepage. See the section on directory
structure and organisation of content. 
<p> 3.1 HOME PAGE AND OTHER CUSTOM BUILT

<p>PAGES IN A SUB-DIRECTORY 
<p>  Custom built pages, including the home page index.html
may be placed within the configuration directory _sisu/home/ in any of
the locations that is searched for the configuration directory, namely
./_sisu; ~/_sisu; /etc/sisu From there they are copied to the root of the
output directory with the command: 
<p>    sisu -CC<br>
 
<p> 3.2 HOME PAGE WITHIN A SKIN 
<p>  Skins are described in a separate section,
but basically are a file written in the programming language <b>Ruby</b> that
may be provided to change the defaults that are provided with sisu with
respect to individual documents, a directories contents or for a site. 
<p>
 If you wish to provide a homepage within a skin the skin should be in
the directory _sisu/skin/dir and have the name of the directory for which
it is to become the home page. Documents in the directory commercial_law
would have the homepage modified in skin_commercial law.rb; or the directory

<p>poems in skin_poems.rb 
<p> 
<p> <br>
<pre>    class Home
      def homepage
        # place the html content of your homepage here, this will become
index.html
        &lt;&lt;HOME &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;doc&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;this is my new homepage.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/doc&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  HOME
      end
    end
