+.B [\-mhwpxXv...] [
+.I filename/wildcard
+.B ]
+.\"%% Description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A document publishing system, that from a simple single marked\-up document,
+produces a multitude of output formats including: html, latex, pdf, info, and
+sql output, which can be cross referenced as having the same document structure
+and text object numbering, "object citation numbering". Features include its\'
+simple syntax; the semantic identification of documents using the Dublin Core;
+document management; built to be associated with a revision control system;
+text object numbering for the identification of a texts location in any of the
+output formats, easy skinning on a site wide, or per document basis, ... for
+more see 
+.I man 1 sisu
+or 
+.I <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu>
+.PP
+.B SiSU is an alternative way of publishing and managing documents.
+.\"%% Installation
+.SH INSTALLATION
+.PP
+Up to date information on SiSU downloads, and their installation should be
+available from:
+.I <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/download.html>
+or at:
+.I <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sisu_download/download.html>
+.PP
+There you should find links to the latest source tarball, and instructions on
+how to install SiSU.
+.PP
+Sample marked up documents are are available at
+.I /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg
+or equivalent directory, or online at
+.I <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/markup.html>
+or for viewing in html with syntax highlighting from
+.I <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/syntax>
+.PP
+A syntax table is provided at 
+.I /usr/share/doc/sisu/on_markup.txt
+or equivalent, and online at
+.I <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/on_markup.txt>
+.PP
+.I man 1 sisu
+has a syntax table along with processing commands.
+.PP
+SiSU also provides some help via the command: 
+.I sisu \-\-help
+and selecting an appropriate subject, e.g.
+.PP
+.I sisu \-\-help commands
+.PP
+.I sisu \-\-help markup
+.PP
+.I sisu \-\-help headers
+.PP
+.I sisu \-\-help env
+.PP
+The rest of this note is on post installation setup
+.\"%% Post Installation Setup
+.SH Post Installation Setup \- Quick start
+.PP
+After installation of sisu-complete, move to the document samples directory
+.PP
+  cd /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg
+.PP
+and run
+.PP
+  sisu \-1 free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst
+.PP
+or the same:
+.PP
+  sisu  \-NhwpoabxXyv free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst
+.PP
+look at output results, see the "sisu_manifest" page created for the document
+.PP
+To generate an online document move to a writable directory, (create a work
+directory and cd into it) as the file will be downloaded there and e.g.
+.PP
+.I sisu \-1 http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/gpl2.fsf/gpl2.fsf.sst
+.PP
+.I sisu \-3 http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/free_culture.lawrence_lessig/free_culture.lawrence_lessig.sst
+.PP
+examine source document, vim has syntax highlighting support
+.PP
+gvim free_as_in_freedom.rms_and_free_software.sam_williams.sst
+.PP
+additional markup samples in
+.I <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/SiSU/2.html>
+.PP
+it should also be possible to run sisu against sisupods (prepared zip files, created by running the command sisu -S [filename]), whether stored locally or remotely.
+.PP
+.I sisu \-3 http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/free_culture.lawrence_lessig/sisupod.zip
+.PP
+there is a security issue associated with the running of document skins that are not your own, so these are turned of by default, and the use of the following command, which switches on the associated skin is not recommended:
+.PP
+.I sisu \-3 \-\-trust http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/free_culture.lawrence_lessig/sisupod.zip
+.PP
+For help
+.I man sisu
+.PP
+.I sisu \-\-help
+.PP
+.I sisu \-\-help env
+for the way sisu "sees/maps" your system
+.PP
+.I sisu \-\-help commands
+for list of commands and so on
+.PP
+.\"%% B. Generate a (local) document from a markup/work directory.
+.B Document markup directory
+.PP
+Perhaps the easiest way to begin is to create a directory for sisu marked up
+documents within your home directory, and copy the file structure (and document
+samples) provided in the document sample directory:
+.I mkdir ~/sisu_test
+.PP
+.I cd ~/sisu_test
+.PP
+.I cp \-a /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/* ~/sisu_test/.
+.PP
+.B \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
+.PP
+.B Tip: 
+the markup syntax examples may be of interest 
+.I <http://www.jus.uio.no/sisu/sample/>
+.PP
+.B Tip:
+.I sisu \-U [sisu markup filename]
+should printout the different possible outputs and where sisu would place them.
+.PP
+.B Tip: 
+if you want to toggle ansi color add 
+.I c
+to your flags.
