All paragraphs are separated by an empty line.

Markup is comprised of:

heading levels defines document structure

Some interactive help on markup is available, by typing sisu and selecting markup or sisu --help markup

To check the markup in a file:

18

sisu --identify [filename].sst

For brief descriptive summary of markup history

sisu --query-history

21

1.2 Markup Examples

24

1.2.1 Online

25

Online markup examples are available together with the respective outputs produced from ‹http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/examples.html› or from ‹http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_examples/›

26

There is of course this document, which provides a cursory overview of sisu markup and the respective output produced: ‹http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_markup/›

27

an alternative presentation of markup syntax: /usr/share/doc/sisu/on_markup.txt.gz

28

1.2.2 Installed

29

With SiSU installed sample skins may be found in: /usr/share/doc/sisu/markup-samples (or equivalent directory) and if sisu-markup-samples is installed also under: /usr/share/doc/sisu/markup-samples-non-free

^1. 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. files should be prepared using UTF-8 character encoding
