sisu binary package in Ubuntu Bionic amd64
SiSU is a lightweight markup based, command line oriented, document
structuring, publishing and search, static content tool for document
collections.
.
With minimal preparation of a plain-text (UTF-8) file, using sisu markup syntax
in your text editor of choice, SiSU can generate various document formats, most
of which share a common object numbering system for locating content, including
plain text, HTML, XHTML, XML, EPUB, OpenDocument text (ODF:ODT), LaTeX, PDF
files, and populate an SQL database with objects (roughly paragraph-sized
chunks) so searches may be performed and matches returned with that degree of
granularity. Think of being able to finely match text in documents, using
common object numbers, across different output formats and across languages if
you have translations of the same document. For search, your criteria is met
by these documents at these locations within each document (equally relevant
across different output formats and languages). To be clear (if obvious) page
numbers provide none of this functionality. Object numbering 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. Document outputs can also share provided semantic meta-data.
.
SiSU also provides concordance files, document content certificates and
manifests of generated output and the means to make book indexes that make use
of its object numbering.
.
Syntax highlighting and folding (outlining) files are provided for the Vim and
Emacs editors.
.
Dependencies for various features are taken care of in sisu related packages.
The package sisu-complete installs the whole of SiSU.
.
Additional document markup samples are provided in the package
sisu-markup-
the substantive content of the marked up documents provided is that provided
by the author or original publisher.
.
SiSU uses utf-8 & parses left to right. Currently supported languages:
am bg bn br ca cs cy da de el en eo es et eu fi fr ga gl he hi hr hy ia is it
ja ko la lo lt lv ml mr nl nn no oc pl pt pt_BR ro ru sa se sk sl sq sr sv ta
te th tk tr uk ur us vi zh (see XeTeX polyglossia & cjk)
.
SiSU works well under po4a translation management, for which an administrative
sample Rakefile is provided with sisu_manual under markup-samples.
