:B~ SiSU Markup
={ SiSU markup:test }

1~markup Introduction to SiSU Markup~{ From sometime after SiSU 0.58 it should be possible to describe SiSU markup using SiSU, which though not an original design goal is useful. }~

2~ Summary

This is the D version of the program sisu on which the markup it uses is based.

SiSU source documents are plaintext (UTF-8)~{ files should be prepared using UTF-8 character encoding }~ files
={ SiSU markup:description }

All paragraphs are separated by an empty line.

Markup is comprised of: *~markup-summary { * }#internal-links

_* at the top of a document, the document header made up of semantic meta-data about the document and if desired additional processing instructions (such an instruction to automatically number headings from a particular level down)

_* followed by the prepared substantive text of which the most important single characteristic is the markup of different heading levels, which define the primary outline of the document structure. Markup of substantive text includes:

_1* heading levels defines document structure

_1* text basic attributes, italics, bold etc.

_1* grouped text (objects), which are to be treated differently, such as code blocks or poems.

_1* footnotes/endnotes

_1* linked text and images

_1* paragraph actions, such as indent, bulleted, numbered-lists, etc.

2~ Markup Rules, document structure and metadata requirements
={ SiSU markup:rules and requirements }

minimal content/structure requirement, minimum being:

metadata

``` code
title: "SiSU Spine"
  subtitle: "Markup"

creator:
  author: "Amissah, Ralph"
```

levels

``` code
A~ (level A [title])

1~ (at least one level 1 [segment/(chapter)])
```
={
  output:code markup example;
  SiSU markup output:code block (tic syntax);
  code block:tic syntax
}

structure rules (document heirarchy, heading levels):

there are two sets of heading levels ABCD (title & parts if any) and 123 (segment & subsegments if any)
={ SiSU markup:heading levels }

sisu has the fllowing levels (that may be described as document parts, headings and subheadings):

``` code
A~ [title (& author)]
   - document root, required once (== 1)
   - followed by part B~ or level 1~
   - often written in the form:
     A~ @title @creator
     where title and creator are taken from the document header

B~ [part]
   - part B is followed by a part C~ if there is one or level 1~

C~ [subpart]
   - part C is followed by a part D~ if there is one or level 1~

D~ [subsubpart]
   - part D is followed by level 1~

1~ [heading, segment (chapter)]
   - level 1 required at least once (>= 1)
   - is followed by level 2~ or
     by text which can then be followed
     - by more text or by levels 1~ or 2~ (or relevant part)
   - level 1 in html (and epub) is the basis of a document segment and in a book
     would correspond to a chapter

2~ [sub-heading]
   - followed by level 3~ or
   - by text which can then be followed
     by more text or by levels 1~, 2~ or 3~ (or relevant part)

3~ [sub-sub-heading]
   - followed by text which can be followed
     by more text or by levels 1~, 2~ or 3~ (or relevant part)
```

Rules:

``` code
- level A~ is mandatory, it is the (document root and) title

- there can only be one document root == level/part A~

- heading levels B,C,D, are optional and there may be several of each
  (where all three are used corresponding to e.g. Book, Part, Section)
  - sublevels that are used must follow each other sequentially
    (alphabetically),

- heading levels A~ B~ C~ D~ are followed by other heading levels rather
  than substantive text
  - which may be the subsequent sequential (alphabetic) heading part level
  - or a heading (segment) level 1~

- there must be at least one heading (segment) level 1~
  (the level on which the text is segmented, in a book would correspond
  to the Chapter level)

- additional heading levels 1~ 2~ 3~ are optional and there may be several
  of each

- heading levels 1~ 2~ 3~ are followed by text (which may be followed by
  the same heading level)
  and/or the next lower numeric heading level (followed by text)
  or indeed return to the relevant part level
  (as a corollary to the rules above substantive text/ content
  must be preceded by a level 1~ (2~ or 3~) heading)
```

2~ Markup Examples
={ SiSU markup:locating examples }

3~ Online
={ SiSU markup:examples online }

Markup examples are available in the form of prepared texts that were written
under creative commons license that permit re-publication.

There is of course this document, which is provided with the program and
provides a cursory overview of sisu markup. Running sisu spine against it gives
an overview of the output produced by the program.

1~headers Markup of Headers
={ SiSU markup:headers}

The document header is based on yaml, and is the part of the document preceeding
the document root marked by "A~ [Document title & author]"

The document header contains either: semantic meta-data about the document, or
processing instructions.

Note: the first line of a document may include information on the markup version
used in the form of a comment. Comments within the header section are the hash
symbol at the start of a line (and as the first character in a line of text)
followed by a space and the comment:

code{

# in the header section of a document, this would be a comment

}code
={ output:code markup example;SiSU markup output:code block (curly brace syntax);code block:curly brace syntax }

2~ Sample Header
={ SiSU markup:sample header}

This current document is loaded by a master document that has a header similar to this one:

``` code
# SiSU 8.0

}code

2~ Available Headers
={ SiSU markup:headers available }

Header tags appear at the beginning of a document and provide meta information
on the document (such as the Dublin Core), or information as to how the document
as a whole is to be processed. All header instructions take the form headername:
or on the next line and indented by two spaces subheadername: All Dublin Core
meta tags are available

!_ @identifier:
information or instructions

where the "identifier" is a tag recognised by the program, and the "information"
or "instructions" belong to the tag/identifier specified

Note: a header where used should only be used once; all headers apart from
[title] are optional; the [structure] header is used to describe document
structure, and can be useful to know.

This is a sample header

1~ Markup of Substantive Text
={ SiSU markup:substantive text }

2~heading_levels Heading Levels
={ SiSU markup:heading levels }

Heading levels are :A~ ,:B~ ,:C~ ,1~ ,2~ ,3~ ... :A - :C being part / section
headings, followed by other heading levels, and 1 -6 being headings followed by
substantive text or sub-headings. :A~ usually the title :A~? conditional level 1
heading (used where a stand-alone document may be imported into another)

!_ :A~ [heading text]
Top level heading [this usually has similar content to the title [title] ]
NOTE: the heading levels described here are in 0.38 notation, see heading

!_ :B~ [heading text]
Second level heading [this is a heading level divider]

!_ :C~ [heading text]
Third level heading [this is a heading level divider]

!_ 1~ [heading text]
Top level heading preceding substantive text of document or sub-heading 2, the
heading level that would normally be marked 1. or 2. or 3. etc. in a document,
and the level on which sisu by default would break html output into named
segments, names are provided automatically if none are given (a number),
otherwise takes the form 1~my_filename_for_this_segment

!_ 2~ [heading text]
Second level heading preceding substantive text of document or sub-heading 3 ,
the heading level that would normally be marked 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.3 or 2.1 etc. in
a document.

!_ 3~ [heading text]
Third level heading preceding substantive text of document, that would normally
be marked 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 or 1.2.1 or 2.1.1 etc. in a document

code{

1~filename level 1 heading,

% the primary division such as Chapter that is followed by substantive text, and may be further subdivided (this is the level on which by default html segments are made)

}code

2~ Font Attributes
={ SiSU markup:font attributes }

!_ markup example:

code{

normal text, *{emphasis}*, !{bold text}!, /{italics}/, _{underscore}_, "{citation}",
^{superscript}^, ,{subscript},, +{inserted text}+, -{strikethrough}-, #{monospace}#

# numbered list                numbered list 1., 2., 3, etc.

_# numbered list numbered list indented a., b., c., d., etc.

}code

2~ Hanging Indents
={ SiSU markup:hanging indents;indented text:hanging }

!_ markup example:

code{

_0_1 first line no indent (no hang),
rest of paragraph indented one step

_1_0 first line indented,
rest of paragraph no indent

in each case level may be 0-9

}code

!_ resulting output:

known as live-package.

_0_1 *{live-build}* \\
A collection of scripts used to build customized Debian Livesystems.
/{live-build}/ was formerly known as live-helper, and even earlier known as
live-package.

2~ Footnotes / Endnotes
={ SiSU markup:hanging indents;footnotes;endnotes }

Footnotes and endnotes are marked up at the location where they would be
indicated within a text. They are automatically numbered. The output type
determines whether footnotes or endnotes will be produced

!_ markup example:

code{

~{ a footnote or endnote }~

}code

!_ resulting output:

~{ a footnote or endnote }~

!_ markup example:

code{

normal text~{ self contained endnote marker & endnote in one }~ continues

}code

!_ resulting output:

normal text~{ self contained endnote marker & endnote in one }~ continues

!_ markup example:

code{

normal text ~{* unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote, insert multiple asterisks if required }~ continues

normal text ~{** another unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote }~ continues

}code

!_ resulting output:

normal text ~{* unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote, insert multiple asterisks if required }~ continues

normal text ~{** another unnumbered asterisk footnote/endnote }~ continues

!_ markup example:

code{

normal text ~[* editors notes, numbered asterisk footnote/endnote series ]~ continues

normal text ~[+ editors notes, numbered plus symbol footnote/endnote series ]~ continues

}code

!_ resulting output:

normal text ~[* editors notes, numbered asterisk footnote/endnote series ]~ continues

normal text ~[+ editors notes, numbered plus symbol footnote/endnote series ]~ continues

!_ [discontinued] Alternative binary endnote notation (endnote pair) for footnotes/endnotes:

code{

% note the endnote marker "~^"

normal text~^ continues

^~ endnote text following the paragraph in which the marker occurs

}code

standard (inline) and pair (binary) notation could not be mixed in the same
document.

The reason binary notation was provided as an option was for the conversion of
documents to sisu markup. Many documents were prepared in such a way that
endnotes had been previously marked up in a binary fashion, and this provided a
convenient and faster way to make the document conversion, just reflect those
markup practices. The reason it has been dropped is it adds a slowing step to
something that needs to be done at most once and it prove to be flakey,
unnecessarily so even when kept under version control. It is preferable to do a
two step conversion of the previously marked up document to sisu: first to the
binary/paired footnote markup, then; convert it to the proper form of inline
endnote markup with a dedicated helper conversion program, keeping the resulting
properly marked up text.

2~ Links
={ SiSU markup:links (text, images);links:images|text }

3~ Naked URLs within text, dealing with urls

urls found within text are marked up automatically. A url within text is
automatically hyperlinked to itself and by default decorated with angled braces,
unless they are contained within a code block (in which case they are passed as
normal text), or escaped by a preceding underscore (in which case the decoration
is omitted).

!_ markup example:

code{

normal text https://www.sisudoc.org/ continues

}code

!_ resulting output:

normal text https://www.sisudoc.org/ continues

An escaped url without decoration

!_ markup example:

code{

normal text _https://www.sisudoc.org/ continues

deb _https://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free

}code

!_ resulting output:

normal text _https://www.sisudoc.org/ continues

deb _https://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free

where a code block is used there is neither decoration nor hyperlinking, code
blocks are discussed later in this document

!_ resulting output:

code{

deb https://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free
deb-src https://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/archive unstable main non-free

}code

3~link_text Linking Text
={ SiSU markup:links (text);links:text }

To link text or an image to a url the markup is as follows

!_ markup example:

code{

about { SiSU }https://url.org markup

}code

!_ resulting output:

about { SiSU }https://www.sisudoc.org/ markup

a couple of test urls

https://example.com/Alice&Bob

{ programs I use }https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?packages=zsh+tilix+sakura+tmux+screen+i3-wm+vim+emacs+mosh+ldc

A shortcut notation is available so the url link may also be provided
automatically as a footnote

!_ markup example:

code{

about {~^ SiSU }https://url.org markup

}code

!_ resulting output:

about {~^ SiSU }https://www.sisudoc.org/ markup

Internal document links to a named (anchor) tagged location, including named
headings named inline anchor tags *~an-inline-anchor-tag or an ocn the heading:

code{

1~markup Markup

}code

can be linked to as follows:

code{

to find out more see { Markup }#markup

}code

to find out more see { Markup }#markup

an inline anchor tag is made with the following markup *~internal-links

code{

named inline anchor tags *~an-inline-anchor-tag

}code

and linked to the same way

code{

the link { an inline anchor tag }#an-inline-anchor-tag

}code

the link { an inline anchor tag }#an-inline-anchor-tag or to another part of the
document: { markup summary }#markup-summary

!_ markup example:

code{

about { text links }#link_text

}code

!_ resulting output:

about { text links }#link_text

Shared document collection link

!_ markup example:

code{

about { SiSU book markup examples }:SiSU/examples.html

}code

!_ resulting output:

about { SiSU book markup examples }:SiSU/examples.html

3~ Linking Images
={ SiSU markup:links (images);links:images }

!_ markup example:

code{

{ sm_tux.png 64x80 }image

% various url linked images

{sm_tux.png 64x80 "a better way" }https://www.sisudoc.org/

{sm_GnuDebianLinuxRubyBetterWay.png 100x101 "Way Better - with Gnu/Linux, Debian and Ruby" }https://www.sisudoc.org/

{~^ sm_ruby_logo.png "Ruby" }https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

}code

!_ resulting output:

{ sm_tux.png }image

{ sm_tux.png 64x80 }image

{ sm_tux.png 64x80 "test" }image

{ sm_tux.png }https://www.sisudoc.org/

{ sm_tux.png 64x80 }https://www.sisudoc.org/

{ sm_tux.png 64x80 "Gnu/Linux - a better way" }https://www.sisudoc.org/

{ sm_GnuDebianLinuxRubyBetterWay.png 100x101 "Way Better - with Gnu/Linux, Debian and Ruby" }https://www.sisudoc.org/

{~^ sm_ruby_logo.png "Ruby" }https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

{ sm_d_image.jpg 82x128 "D for me" }https://github.com/dlang-community/d-mans

{~^ sm_d_strip.png "D, hey no fair" }https://github.com/dlang-community/d-mans

!_ linked url footnote shortcut

code{

{~^ [text to link] }https://url.org

% maps to: { [text to link] }https://url.org ~{ https://url.org }~

% which produces hyper-linked text within a document/paragraph, with an endnote providing the url for the text location used in the hyperlink

}code

code{

text marker *~name

}code

note at a heading level the same is automatically achieved by providing names to
headings 1, 2 and 3 i.e. 2~[name] and 3~[name] or in the case of auto-heading
numbering, without further intervention.

3~ Link shortcut for multiple versions of a sisu document in the same directory tree

!_ markup example:

code{

!_ /{"Viral Spiral"}/, David Bollier

{ "Viral Spiral", David Bollier [3sS]}viral_spiral.david_bollier.sst

}code


!_ /{"Viral Spiral"}/, David Bollier

{ "Viral Spiral", David Bollier [3sS]}viral_spiral.david_bollier.sst

2~ Grouped Text / blocked text
={ SiSU markup:grouped text;grouped text;blocked text;text blocks }

There are two markup syntaxes for blocked text, using curly braces or using tics

3~ blocked text curly brace syntax
={ SiSU markup:grouped text;grouped text:curly brace syntax;blocked text:curly brace syntax;text blocks:curly brace syntax }

at the start of a line on its own use name of block type with an opening curly
brace, follow with the content of the block, and close with a closing curly
brace and the name of the block type, e.g.

``` code
code{

this is a code block

}code
```

``` code
poem{

this here is a poem

}poem
```

3~ blocked text tic syntax
={ SiSU markup:grouped text;grouped text:tic syntax;blocked text:tic syntax;text blocks:tic syntax }

code{

``` code

The "group" is different from the "block" mark in that "group" does not preserve
whitespace, the "block" mark does. The text falling within the block is a single
object.

The Road Not Taken Related Poem Content Details

BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The "poem" mark like the "block" preserves whitespace. Text followed by two
newlines are identified as verse and each verse is an object i.e. a poem may
consist of multiple verse each of which is identified as an object, unlike a
text "block" which is identified as a single object.

3~ Code
={ SiSU markup:code block;code block }

"Code" blocks are a single text object, in which the original text is preserved.

Code tags #{ code{ ... }code }# (used as with other group tags described above)
are used to escape regular sisu markup, and have been used extensively within
this document to provide examples of SiSU markup. You cannot however use code
tags to escape code tags. They are however used in the same way as group or poem
tags.

A code-block is treated as an object and given a single object number. [an
option to number each line of code may be considered at some later time]

!_ use of code tags instead of poem compared, resulting output:

2~ Additional breaks - linebreaks within objects, column and page-breaks
={ SiSU markup:breaks (page and line);breaks }

3~ line-breaks
={ SiSU markup:line break;line break }

To break a line within a "paragraph object", two backslashes \\\\ \\ with a space before and a space or newline after them \\ may be used.

code{

To break a line within a "paragraph object",
two backslashes \\ with a space before
and a space or newline after them \\
may be used.

}code

The html break br enclosed in angle brackets (though undocumented) is available
in versions prior to 3.0.13 and 2.9.7 (it remains available for the time being,
but is depreciated).

To draw a dividing line dividing paragraphs, see the section on page breaks.

3~ page breaks
={ SiSU markup:page break;page break }

Page breaks are only relevant and honored in some output formats. A page break
or a new page may be inserted manually using the following markup on a line on
its own:

page new =\\= breaks the page, starts a new page.

page break -\\- breaks a column, starts a new column, if using columns, else breaks the page, starts a new page.

page break line across page -..- draws a dividing line, dividing paragraphs

page break:

code{

-\\-

}code

page (break) new:

code{

=\\=

}code

page (break) line across page (dividing paragraphs):

code{

-..-

}code


2~ Excluding Object Numbers

Object numbers can be switched off by adding a ~# to the end of a text object.

Sometimes it is wished to switch off object numbers for a larger group of text.
In this case it is possible before the group, body of text to be without object
numbers on a new line with nothing else on it to open the un-numbered object
block with --~# and to close the un-numbered block, and restart object numbering
with on a similarly otherwise empty new-line with --+#

code{

--~#

un-numbered object block of text contained here

still un-numbered

--+#

object numbering returns here and for subsequent text objects

to switch of object numbering for a single objct, to the end of the object add ~# like so:~#

}code

2~ Bibliography / References
={ SiSU markup:references|bibliography|citations;references }

There are three ways to prepare a bibliography using sisu (which are mutually
exclusive): (i) manually preparing and marking up as regular text in sisu a list
of references, this is treated as a regular document segment (and placed before
endnotes if any); (ii) preparing a bibliography, marking a heading level
#{1~!biblio}# (note the exclamation mark) and preparing a bibliography using
various metadata tags including for author: title: year: a list of which is
provided below, or; (iii) as an assistance in preparing a bibliography, marking
a heading level #{1~!biblio}# and tagging citations within footnotes for
inclusion, identifying citations and having a parser attempt to extract them and
build a bibliography of the citations provided.

For the heading/section sequence: endnotes, bibliography then book index to
occur, the name biblio or bibliography must be given to the bibliography
section, like so:

code{

1~!biblio

}code

3~ a markup tagged metadata bibliography section

Here instead of writing your full citations directly in footnotes, each time you
have new material to cite, you add it to your bibliography section (if it has
not been added yet) providing the information you need against an available list
of tags (provided below).

The required tags are au: ti: and year: ~{for which you may alternatively use
the full form author: title: and year: }~ an short quick example might be as
follows:

code{

1~!biblio

au: von Hippel, E.
ti: Perspective: User Toolkits for Innovation
lng: (language)
jo: Journal of Product Innovation Management
vo: 18
ed: (editor)
yr: 2001
note:
sn: Hippel, /{User Toolkits}/ (2001)
id: vHippel_2001
% form:

au: Benkler, Yochai
ti: The Wealth of Networks
st: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom
lng: (language)
pb: Harvard University Press
edn: (edition)
yr: 2006
pl: U.S.
url: https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/wealth_of_networks/Main_Page
note:
sn: Benkler, /{Wealth of Networks}/ (2006)
id: Benkler2006

au: Quixote, Don; Panza, Sancho
ti: Taming Windmills, Keeping True
jo: Imaginary Journal
yr: 1605
url: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote
note: made up to provide an example of author markup for an article with two authors
sn: Quixote & Panza, /{Taming Windmills}/ (1605)
id: quixote1605

}code

Note that the section name !biblio (or !bibliography) is required for the
bibliography to be treated specially as such, and placed after the
auto-generated endnote section.

Using this method, work goes into preparing the bibliography, the tags author or
editor, year and title are required and will be used to sort the bibliography
that is placed under the Bibliography section

The metadata tags may include shortname (sn:) and id, if provided, which are
used for substitution within text. Every time the given id is found within the
text it will be replaced by the given short title of the work (it is for this
reason the short title has sisu markup to italicize the title), it should work
with any page numbers to be added, the short title should be one that can easily
be used to look up the full description in the bibliography.

code{

The following footnote~{ quixote1605, pp 1000 - 1001, also Benkler2006 p 1. }~

}code

would be presented as:

Quixote and Panza, /{Taming Windmills}/ (1605), pp 1000 - 1001 also, Benkler,
/{Wealth of Networks}/, (2006) p 1 or rather~{ Quixote and Panza, /{Taming
Windmills}/ (1605), pp 1000 - 1001 also, Benkler, /{Wealth of Networks}/ (2006),
p 1 }~

code{

au: author Surname, FirstNames (if multiple semi-colon separator)
    (required unless editor to be used instead)
ti: title  (required)
st: subtitle
jo: journal
vo: volume
ed: editor (required if author not provided)
tr: translator
src: source (generic field where others are not appropriate)
in: in (like src)
pl: place/location (state, country)
pb: publisher
edn: edition
yr: year (yyyy or yyyy-mm or yyyy-mm-dd) (required)
pg: pages
url: https://url
note: note
id: create_short_identifier e.g. authorSurnameYear
    (used in substitutions: when found within text will be
    replaced by the short name provided)
sn: short name e.g. Author, /{short title}/, Year
    (used in substitutions: when an id is found within text
    the short name will be used to replace it)

}code

3~ Tagging citations for inclusion in the Bibliography

Here whenever you make a citation that you wish be included in the bibliography,
you tag the citation as such using special delimiters (which are subsequently
removed from the final text produced by sisu)

Here you would write something like the following, either in regular text or a footnote

code{

See .: Quixote, Don; Panza, Sancho /{Taming Windmills, Keeping True}/ (1605) :.

}code

SiSU will parse for a number of patterns within the delimiters to try make out
the authors, title, date etc. and from that create a Bibliography. This is more
limited than the previously described method of preparing a tagged bibliography,
and using an id within text to identify the work, which also lends itself to
greater consistency.

2~ Glossary
={ SiSU markup:glossary|Glossary }

Using the section name #{1~!glossary}# results in the Glossary being treated
specially as such, and placed after the auto-generated endnote section (before
the bibliography/list of references if there is one).

The Glossary is ordinary text marked up in a manner deemed suitable for that
purpose. e.g. with the term in bold, possibly with a hanging indent.

code{

1~!glossary

_0_1 *{GPL}* An abbreviation that stands for "General Purpose License." ...

_0_1 [provide your list of terms and definitions]

}code

In the given example the first line is not indented subsequent lines are by one level, and the term to be defined is in bold text.

2~ Book index
={ SiSU markup:book index;book index }

To make an index append to paragraph the book index term relates to it, using an
equal sign and curly braces.

Currently two levels are provided, a main term and if needed a sub-term.
Sub-terms are separated from the main term by a colon.

code{

  Paragraph containing main term and sub-term.
  ={Main term:sub-term}

}code

The index syntax starts on a new line, but there should not be an empty line
between paragraph and index markup.

The structure of the resulting index would be:

code{

  Main term, 1
    sub-term, 1

}code

Several terms may relate to a paragraph, they are separated by a semicolon. If
the term refers to more than one paragraph, indicate the number of paragraphs.

code{

  Paragraph containing main term, second term and sub-term.
  ={first term; second term: sub-term}

}code

The structure of the resulting index would be:

code{

  First term, 1,
  Second term, 1,
    sub-term, 1

}code

If multiple sub-terms appear under one paragraph, they are separated under the
main term heading from each other by a pipe symbol.

code{

  Paragraph containing main term, second term and sub-term.
  ={Main term:
      sub-term+2|second sub-term;
    Another term
   }

  A paragraph that continues discussion of the first sub-term

}code

The plus one in the example provided indicates the first sub-term spans one
additional paragraph. The logical structure of the resulting index would be:

code{

  Main term, 1,
    sub-term, 1-3,
    second sub-term, 1,
  Another term, 1

}code

1~ Composite documents markup
={ SiSU markup:composite documents;composite documents }

It is possible to build a document by creating a master document that requires
other documents. The documents required may be complete documents that could be
generated independently, or they could be markup snippets, prepared so as to be
easily available to be placed within another text. If the calling document is a
master document (built from other documents), it should be named with the suffix
*{.ssm}* Within this document you would provide information on the other
documents that should be included within the text. These may be other documents
that would be processed in a regular way, or markup bits prepared only for
inclusion within a master document *{.sst}* regular markup file, or *{.ssi}*
(insert/information) A secondary file of the composite document is built prior
to processing with the same prefix and the suffix *{._sst}*

basic markup for importing a document into a master document

code{

<< filename1.sst

<< filename2.ssi

}code

The form described above should be relied on. Within the Vim editor it results
in the text thus linked becoming hyperlinked to the document it is calling in
which is convenient for editing.

1~ Substitutions
={ SiSU markup:substitutions;substitutions }

!_ markup example:

code{

The current Debian is ${debian_stable} the next debian will be ${debian_testing}

Configure substitution in _sisu/sisu_document_make

@make:
 :substitute: /${debian_stable}/,'*{Wheezy}*' /${debian_testing}/,'*{Jessie}*'

}code

!_ resulting output:

The current Debian is ${debian_stable} the next debian will be ${debian_testing}

Another test ${sisudoc} ok?

Configure substitution in _sisu/sisu_document_make

1~ Footnote, endnote stress test

Globalisation is to be observed as a trend intrinsic to the world economy.~{ As
Maria Cattaui Livanos suggests in /{The global economy - an opportunity to be
seized}/ in /{Business World}/ the Electronic magazine of the International
Chamber of Commerce (Paris, July 1997) at
https://www.iccwbo.org/html/globalec.htm \\ "Globalization is unstoppable. Even
though it may be only in its early stages, it is already intrinsic to the world
economy. We have to live with it, recognize its advantages and learn to manage
it. \\ That imperative applies to governments, who would be unwise to attempt to
stem the tide for reasons of political expediency. It also goes for companies of
all sizes, who must now compete on global markets and learn to adjust their
strategies accordingly, seizing the opportunities that globalization offers."}~
Rudimentary economics explains this runaway process, as being driven by
competition within the business community to achieve efficient production, and
to reach and extend available markets.~{To remain successful, being in
competition, the business community is compelled to take advantage of the
opportunities provided by globalisation.}~ Technological advancement
particularly in transport and communications has historically played a
fundamental role in the furtherance of international commerce, with the Net,
technology's latest spatio-temporally transforming offering, linchpin of the
"new-economy", extending exponentially the global reach of the business
community. The Net covers much of the essence of international commerce
providing an instantaneous, low cost, convergent, global and borderless:
information centre, marketplace and channel for communications, payments and the
delivery of services and intellectual property. The sale of goods, however,
involves the separate element of their physical delivery. The Net has raised a
plethora of questions and has frequently offered solutions. The increased
transparency of borders arising from the Net's ubiquitous nature results in an
increased demand for the transparency of operation. As economic activities
become increasingly global, to reduce transaction costs, there is a strong
incentive for the "law" that provides for them, to do so in a similar dimension.
The appeal of transnational legal solutions lies in the potential reduction in
complexity, more widely dispersed expertise, and resulting increased transaction
efficiency. The Net reflexively offers possibilities for the development of
transnational legal solutions, having in a similar vein transformed the
possibilities for the promulgation of texts, the sharing of ideas and
collaborative ventures. There are however, likely to be tensions within the
legal community protecting entrenched practices against that which is new, (both
in law and technology) and the business community's goal to reduce transaction
costs. This here https://sisudoc.org/now is a test and repeat { does this work?
}https://www.sisudoc.com/ok.html

Within commercial law an analysis of law and economics may assist in
developing a better understanding of the relationship between commercial
law and the commercial sector it serves.~{ Realists would contend that law
is contextual and best understood by exploring the interrelationships
between law and the other social sciences, such as sociology, psychology,
political science, and economics.}~ "...[T]he importance of the
interrelations between law and economics can be seen in the twin facts
that legal change is often a function of economic ideas and conditions,
which necessitate and/or generate demands for legal change, and that
economic change is often governed by legal change."~{ Part of a section
cited in Mercuro and Steven G. Medema, /{Economics and the Law: from
Posner to Post-Modernism}/ (Princeton, 1997) p. 11, with reference to Karl
N. Llewellyn The Effect of Legal Institutions upon Economics, American
Economic Review 15 (December 1925) pp 655-683, Mark M. Litchman Economics,
the Basis of Law, American Law Review 61 (May-June 1927) pp 357-387, and
W. S. Holdsworth A Neglected Aspect of the Relations between Economic and
Legal History, Economic History Review 1 (January 1927-1928) pp 114-123.}~
In doing so, however, it is important to be aware that there are several
competing schools of law and economics, with different perspectives,
levels of abstraction, and analytical consequences of and for the world
that they model.~{ For a good introduction see Nicholas Mercuro and Steven
G. Medema, /{Economics and the Law: from Posner to Post-Modernism}/
(Princeton, 1997). These include: Chicago law and economics (New law and
economics); New Haven School of law and economics; Public Choice Theory;
Institutional law and economics; Neoinstitutional law and economics;
Critical Legal Studies.}~ This sentence trails test endnote.

Difference?~{ puzzle away }~

* !glossary

head

!_ header
document header, containing document specific (i) metadata information or (ii)
make instructions

!_ (document) structure
relationship between headings and sub-headings, and the objects they contain.
Document structure is extracted from heading levels, which are either:
explicitly marked up, or; determined from a make regex provided in the document
header. Use of document structure allow for the meaningful representation of
documents in alternative ways and the use of ocn permits easy reference across
different output formats.

!_ heading
document heading, each heading is marked indicating its level (in relation to
other headings), and this is used as basis for determininge document structure.
There are 8 levels, which are can be distinguesed as being one of three types:
(i) 1 title level (marked up A or numeric 0); (ii) 3 optional document division
levels, above text separating headings (marked up B - D, or numeric 1 to 3);
(iii) 4 text headings (marked up 1 - 4, or numeric 4 to 7)

!_ levels == heading levels
document heading level, see heading and structure

marked up headings / mark up level

collapsed headings / collapsed levels

numeric levels

!_ dummy heading
a markup level 1 / dummy level 4 that does not exist in the original text that
is manually inserted to maintain the documents structure rule that text follows
a heading of markup level 1 (rather than A to D) (numeric level 4 rather than 0
to 3)

relatives? see ancestors and descendants

document ...

!_ ancestors
heading levels above the current heading level which it logically falls under
and to which it belongs (headings preceding current level under which it occurs)

!_ decendants
decendant headings are sub-headings beneath the current heading level, heading
levels below the current heading level which are derived from it and belong to
it (sub-headings contained beneath current level); decendant objects are the
range of objects contained by a heading (ocn ranges for each heading in document
body)

!_ (document) sections
a document can be divided into 3 parts: front; body and; back. Front matter
includes the table of contents (which is generated from headings) and any parts
of the document that are presented before the document body (this might include
a copyright notice for example). The document body, the substantive part of the
document, all its substantive objects, including: headings, paragraphs, tables,
verse etc. This is followed by optional backmatter: endnotes, generated from
inline markup; glossary, from section using a subset of regular markup, with an
indication that section is to be treated as glossary. Note two things glossary
might do that it does not, there is: no automatic (sorting) alphabetisation of
listing; no creation of term anchor tags (perhaps it should); bibliography,
created from a specially marked up section, with indication that section is to
be treated as bibliography; bookindex generated from dedicated markup appended
to objects providing index terms and the relevant range; blurb made up of
ordinary markup, with indication that section is to be treated as blurb

!_ segment, segmented text
certain forms of output are conveniently segmented, e.g. epub and segmented
html. The document is broken into chunks indicated by markup level 1 heading
(numeric level 4 headings) as the significant level at which the document should
be segmented, and including all decendant objects of that level. For a longer
text/book this will usually the chapter level. (this is significant in e.g. for
epub and segmented html, which are broken by segment, usually chosen to be
chapter)

!_ scroll
the document as a "scroll", e.g. as a single text file, or continuous html
document

!_ object
a unit of text. Objects include: headings; paragraphs; code blocks; grouped
text; verse of poems; tables. Each substantive object is given an object number,
that should make it citable.

!_ ocn (object citation number / citation number)
numbers assigned sequentially to each substantive object of a document. An ocn
has the characteristic of remaining identical across output formats.
Translations should be prepared so number remains identical across objects in
different languages

unnumbered paragraph (place marker at end of paragraph)

% ~#

unnumbered paragraph, delete when not required (place marker at end of
paragraph) [used in dummy headings, eg. sometimes used for segmented html, e.g.
to mark a prologue that is not otherwise identified as such as belonging to its
own segment, segment will be created as such an placed in toc, but will not be
found in scroll versions of the document]

% -#

citation number (see ocn / object citation number)

!_ heading auto-numbering
set in header, switched off in markup level 1~ with an appended minus 1~- or 1~given_segname-


% % add a comment to text, that will be removed prior to processing (place marker at beginning of line)

!_ document abstraction (== internal representation) intermediate step,
preprocessing of document, into abstraction / representation that is used by all
downstream processing, i.e. for all output formats. This allows normalisation,
reducing alternative markup options to common representations, e.g. code blocks
(open and close), tables, ways of instructing that text be bold, shortuct way of
providing and endnote reference to a link

(document) internal representation (== document abstraction)
see document abstraction

node representation

!_ attribute (object attributes)
when the document is abstracted attributes associated with an object, for
example for a: paragraph, indent (hang ... check & add), bulleted, for a: code
block, the language syntax, whether the block is numbered

!_ inline markup
when the document is abstracted, markup that remains embedded in the text, such
as its font face (bold, italic, emphasis, underscore, strike, superscript,
subscript), links, endnotes

sequential all objects backkeeping number?
