SiSU is for literary and legal text, also for some social science material. In particular it does not do formula, and is not particularly suited to technical documentation. Despite the latter caveat, some notes will be provided here and added to over time:

2324

20.1 Headers

2325

Headers @headername: provide information related to the document, this may relate to

2326

1. how it is to be processed, such as whether headings are to be numbered, what skin is to be used and markup instructions, such as the document structure, or words to be made bold within the document

2327

2. semantic information about the document including the dublin core

2328

20.2 Font Face

2329

Defaults are set. You may change the face to: bold, italics, underscore, strikethrough, ...

2330

2357

1. preferred endnote markup

2358

here~{ this is an endnote }~

2359

2. alternative markup equivalent, kept because it is possible to search and replace to get markup in existing texts such as Project Gutenberg

2360

here~^
