44. FAQ - Frequently Asked/Answered Questions
44.1 Why are urls produced with the -v (and -u) flag that point to a web server on port 8081 ?
44.2 I cannot find my output, where is it?
44.3 I do not get any pdf output, why?
44.4 Where is the latex (or some other interim) output?
44.5 Why isn't SiSU markup XML
44.6 LaTeX claims to be a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. Can the same be said about SiSU?
44.7 Can the SiSU markup be used to prepare for a LaTex automatic building of an index to the work?
44.8 Can the conversion from SiSU to LaTeX be modified if we have special needs for the LaTeX, or do we need to modify the LaTeX manually?
44.9 How do I create GIN or GiST index in Postgresql for use in SiSU
44.10 Are there some examples of using Ferret Search with a SiSU repository?
Have you had any reports of building SiSU from tar on Mac OS 10.4?

41.1 Skins
41.2 CSS
"Skins" may be used to change various aspects related to the output documents appearance, including such things as the url for the home page on which the material will be published, information on the credit band, and for html documents colours and icons used in navigation bars. Skins are ruby files which permit changing of the default values set within the program for SiSU output.
There are a few examples provided, on untarring the source tarball:
conf/sisu/skin/doc/
data/doc/sisu/markup-samples/samples/_sisu/skin/doc/
and on installation under:
/etc/sisu/skin/doc/
/usr/share/doc/sisu-markup-samples/v2/samples/_sisu/skin/doc
The following paths are searched:
./_sisu/skin
~/.sisu/skin
/etc/sisu/skin
Skins under the searched paths in a per document directory, a per directory directory, or a site directory, named:
doc [may be specified individually in each document]
dir [used if identifier part of name matches markup directory name]
site
It is usual to place all skins in the document directory, with symbolic links as required from dir or site directories.
The appearance of html and XML related output can be changed for an ouput collection directory by prepareing and placing a new css file in one of the sisu css directories searched in the sisu configuration path. These are located at:
_./_sisu/css
~/.sisu/css
and
/etc/sisu/css
The contents of the first directory found in the search path are copied to the corresponding sisu output directory with the commnd:
sisu -CC
The SiSU standard css files for SiSU output are:
dom.css html.css html_tables.css index.css sax.css xhtml.css
A document may specify its own/bespoke css file using the css header.
