Document Skins - configuration

  2

1. Skins

  3

Skins modify the default appearance of document output on a document, directory, or site wide basis. Skins are looked for in the following locations:

  4

./_sisu/skin

  5

~/.sisu/skin

  6

/etc/sisu/skin

  7

Within the skin directory are the following the default sub-directories for document skins:

  8

./skin/doc

  9

./skin/dir

  10

./skin/site

  11

A skin is placed in the appropriate directory and the file named skin_[name].rb

  12

The skin itself is a ruby file which modifies the default appearances set in the program.

  13

1.1 Document Skin

  14

Documents take on a document skin, if the header of the document specifies a skin to be used.

  15

  @skin: skin_united_nations

  16

1.2 Directory Skin

  17

A directory may be mapped on to a particular skin, so all documents within that directory take on a particular appearance. If a skin exists in the skin/dir with the same name as the document directory, it will automatically be used for each of the documents in that directory, (except where a document specifies the use of another skin, in the skin/doc directory).

  18

A personal habit is to place all skins within the doc directory, and symbolic links as needed from the site, or dir directories as required.

  19

1.3 Site Skin

  20

A site skin, modifies the program default skin.

  21

1.4 Sample Skins

  22

With SiSU installed sample skins may be found in:

  23

/etc/sisu/skin/doc and /usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/doc

  24

(or equivalent directory) and if sisu-markup-samples is installed also under:

  25

/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/non-free/_sisu/skin/doc

  26

Samples of list.yml and promo.yml (which are used to create the right column list) may be found in:
