1~commands Commands Summary

2~ Description

SiSU is a document publishing system, that from a simple single marked-up document, produces multiple output formats including: plaintext, HTML, XHTML, XML, EPUB, ODT (OpenDocument (ODF) text), LaTeX, PDF, info, and SQL (PostgreSQL and SQLite), which share text object numbers ("object citation numbering") and the same document structure information. For more see: http://sisudoc.org or http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu

% 2~ Summary of man page

% This man page covers a number of subjects in brief, including: document processing command flags; document markup (basic markup and headers); configuration files; directory structure; skins; document naming; interactive help and other information.

2~ Document Processing Command Flags

!_ -[0-9] [filename/wildcard] \\
see --act

!_ --ao [filename/wildcard/url] \\
assumed for most other flags, creates new intermediate files for processing (abstract objects, document abstraction) that is used in all subsequent processing of other output. This step is assumed for most processing flags. To skip it see -n. Alias -m.
={ SiSU command:abstract objects|document abstraction|--ao|--dal|-m (document abstraction) }

!_ --act[s0-9] [filename/wildcard] \\
--act0 to --act9 configurable shortcuts for multiple flags, -0 to -9 synonyms, configure in sisurc.yml; sisu default action on a specified file where no flag is provided is --act0; --act or --acts for information on current actions ascribed to --act0 to --act9

configure/initialise shared output directory files initialize shared output directory (config files such as css and dtd files are not updated if they already exist unless modifier is used).

ReST (rST restructured text) smart text (not available)
={ SiSU command:rst output (not available)|--rst (not available) }

!_ --rsync [filename/wildcard] \\
copies sisu output files to remote host using rsync. This requires that sisurc.yml has been provided with information on hostname and username, and that you have your "keys" and ssh agent in place. Note the behavior of rsync different if -R is used with other flags from if used alone. Alone the rsync --delete parameter is sent, useful for cleaning the remote directory (when -R is used together with other flags, it is not). Also see --scp. Alias -R

Optional additional parameters: --db-user='www-data'. The samples are dumped in the present work directory which must be writable, (with screen instructions given that they be copied to the cgi-bin directory). Alias -F

!_ --sha512 \\
set hash digest where used to sha512
={ SiSU command:digests output sha512|--digests --sha512 }

!_ --sqlite-[instruction] [filename] \\
database type set to SQLite, this produces one of two possible databases, without additional database related instructions it produces a discreet SQLite file for the document processed; with additional instructions it produces a common SQLite database of all processed documents that (come from the same document preparation directory and as a result) share the same output directory base path (possible instructions include: --sqlite-createdb; --sqlite-create; --sqlite-dropall; --sqlite-import [filename]; --sqlite-update [filename]; --sqlite-remove [filename]); see database section below.
={ SiSU command:sqlite|--sqlite|--sqlite-update|--sqlite-remove;output:sqlite command;sqlite:command }

!_ --sisupod \\
produces a sisupod a zipped sisu directory of markup files including sisu markup source files and the directories local configuration file, images and skins. Note: this only includes the configuration files or skins contained in ./_sisu not those in ~/.sisu -S [filename/wildcard] option. Note: (this option is tested only with zsh). Alias -S
={ SiSU command:sisupod (bundled sisu document source)|--sisupod }

!_ --sisupod [filename/wildcard] \\
produces a zipped file of the prepared document specified along with associated images, by default named sisupod.zip they may alternatively be named with the filename extension .ssp This provides a quick way of gathering the relevant parts of a sisu document which can then for example be emailed. A sisupod includes sisu markup source file, (along with associated documents if a master file, or available in multilingual versions), together with related images and skin. SiSU commands can be run directly against a sisupod contained in a local directory, or provided as a url on a remote site. As there is a security issue with skins provided by other users, they are not applied unless the flag --trust or --trusted is added to the command instruction, it is recommended that file that are not your own are treated as untrusted. The directory structure of the unzipped file is understood by sisu, and sisu commands can be run within it. Note: if you wish to send multiple files, it quickly becomes more space efficient to zip the sisu markup directory, rather than the individual files for sending). See the -S option without [filename/wildcard]. Alias -S
={ SiSU command:sisupod (bundled sisu document source)|--sisupod|-S (sisupod, sisu markup source);output:sisupod command;sisupod:command  }

!_ --source [filename/wildcard] \\
copies sisu markup file to output directory. Alias -s
={ SiSU command:sisu markup source|--source|-s  (sisu markup source text);output:source command;source:command  }

={ SiSU command:html strict|--html --strict }

!_ -T [filename/wildcard (*.termsheet.rb)] \\
standard form document builder, preprocessing feature

!_ -t [filename/wildcard] \\
see --txt

The default assumes sisu_webrick is running and provides webrick url mappings where appropriate, but these can be switched to file system paths in sisurc.yml. Alias -U
={ SiSU command:urls to generated output|--urls|-U  (urls to generated output) }

!_ -V \\
on its own, provides SiSU version and environment information (sisu --help env)

!_ -V [filename/wildcard] \\

on its own, provides SiSU version information

!_ -v [filename/wildcard] \\

see --manifest

!_ -Z [filename/wildcard] \\

!_ --pg -v --createall \\
initial step, creates required relations (tables, indexes) in existing PostgreSQL database (a database should be created manually and given the same name as working directory, as requested) (rb.dbi) [ -dv --createall SQLite equivalent] it may be necessary to run sisu -Dv --createdb initially NOTE: at the present time for PostgreSQL it may be necessary to manually create the database. The command would be 'createdb [database name]' where database name would be SiSU_[present working directory name (without path)]. Please use only alphanumerics and underscores.

The -v is for verbose output.

2~ Command Line with Flags - Batch Processing

In the data directory run sisu -mh filename or wildcard eg. "sisu -h cisg.sst" or "sisu -h *.{sst,ssm}" to produce html version of all documents.

Running sisu (alone without any flags, filenames or wildcards) brings up the interactive help, as does any sisu command that is not recognised. Enter to escape.
