## Nomenclature
The name <i lang="cmn-Hans">书社</i> was chosen to play on this pun, as
it is intended as a publishing program for webshrines.

+In Ascii environments, ⛩📰 书社 should be written `Shushe`, following
the pinyin transliteration.
+## Prerequisites
+
+In most cases, ⛩📰 书社 aims to require only functionality which is
+ present in all Posix‐compliant (`POSIX.1-2001`) operating systems.
+There are a few exceptions.
+Details on particular programs are given below; if a program is not
+ listed, it is assumed that any Posix‐compliant implementation will
+ work.
+
+### `diff`
+
+This is a Posix utility, but ⛩📰 书社 depends on functionality
+ introduced after `POSIX.1-2001` (the `-u` option, introduced in
+ `POSIX.1-2008`).
+Macintosh systems somewhat interestingly implement this option
+ correctly in legacy mode (`COMMAND_MODE=legacy`) but incorrectly by
+ default (despite claiming `POSIX.1-2008` conformance for this
+ utility).
+[Note this erroneous comment claiming nanosecond & timezone are
+ extensions rather than standardized.][rdar-92753335]
+Despite this, the default Macintosh implementation will still work with
+ ⛩📰 书社, with the caveat that the timestamp will only include a
+ fractional component when a Posix⹀compliant (e·g, Macintosh legacy or
+ G·N·U) implementation is used.
+
+### `file`
+
+This is a Posix utility, but it was considered optional in
+ `POSIX.1-2001` (altho it was made mandatory in `POSIX.1-2008`) and
+ ⛩📰 书社 currently depends on unspecified behaviour.
+It requires support for the following additional options :—
+
+- **`-C`**, when supplied with `-m`, must be useable to compile a
+ `.mgc` magicfile for use with future invocations of `file`.
+
+- **`--files-from`** must be useable to provide a file that `file`
+ should read file·names from, and `-` must be useable in this
+ context to specify the standard input.
+
+- **`--mime-type`** must cause `file` to print the internet media type
+ of the file with no charset parameter.
+
+- **`--separator`** must be useable to set the separator that `file`
+ uses to separate file names from types.
+
+These options are implemented by the
+ [Fine Free File Command](https://darwinsys.com/file/), which is used
+ by most operating systems.
+
+### `git`
+
+This is not a Posix utility.
+Usage of `git` is optional, but recommended (and activated by default).
+To disable it, set `GIT=`.
+
+### `make`
+
+This is a Posix utility, but it is considered an optional Software
+ Development utility and ⛩📰 书社 currently depends on unspecified
+ behaviour.
+⛩📰 书社 requires specifically the G·N·U version of `make`, and
+ depends on functionality present in version 3.81 or later.
+It is not expected to work in previous versions, or with other
+ implementations of Make.
+
+### `pax`
+
+This is a Posix utility, but it is not included in the Linux Standard
+ Base or installed by default in many distributions.
+⛩📰 书社 only requires support for the `ustar` format.
+
+### `uudecode` and `uuencode`
+
+These are Posix utilities, but they were considered optional in
+ `POSIX.1-2001` (altho they are made mandatory in `POSIX.1-2008`) and
+ they are not included in the Linux Standard Base or installed by
+ default in many distributions.
+The G·N·U [Sharutils](https://www.gnu.org/software/sharutils/) package
+ provides one implementation.
+
+### `xmlcatalog` and `xmllint`
+
+These are not a Posix utilities.
+They are a part of `libxml2`, but may need to be installed separately
+ on some platforms (e·g by the name `libxml2-utils`).
+
+### `xsltproc`
+
+This is not a Posix utility.
+It is a part of `libxslt`, but may need to be installed separately on
+ some platforms.

+- A `@书社:parsed-by` attribute, giving a space‐separated list of
+ parsers which parsed the node.

- - A `@书社:media-type` attribute, giving the identified media type of

+This behaviour can be customized by setting the `@书社:destination`
+ attribute on the root element, whose value can give a different path.
+This attribute is read after parsing, but before transformation (where
+ it is silently dropped).
## Embedding
Embedding takes place after parsing but before transformation, so
parsers are able to generate their own embeds.

+⛩📰 书社 will add a few attributes to toplevel result elements, both
+ in the main document and any embedded documents, during the expansion
+ phase prior to the main transformation.
+These include :—
+
+- A `@书社:cksum` attribute giving the `cksum` checksum of the

+
+- A `@书社:mtime` attribute giving the last modified time of the
+ corresponding source file.
+
+- A `@书社:identifier` attribute giving the ⛩📰 书社 identifier
+ (i·e, starting with `about:shushe?`) of the corresponding source

+ embedded documents).
+ These attributes are used to scope any nested `<html:meta>` elements

## Transforms

after all necessary parsing and embedding has taken place.

attributes from the embed during the transformation phase.
+- **`transforms/serialization.xslt`:**
+ Replaces `<书社:serialize-xml>` elements with the (escaped)
+ serialized X·M·L of their contents.
+ This replacement happens during the finalization phase, after most
+ other transformations have taken place.
+
+ If a `@with-namespaces` attribute is provided, any name·space nodes
+ on the toplevel serialized elements whose U·R·I’s correspond to the
+ definitions of the provided prefixes, as defined for the
+ `<书社:serialize-xml>` element, will be declared using name·space
+ attributes on the serialized elements.
+ Otherwise, only name·space nodes which _differ_ from the definitions
+ on the `<书社:serialize-xml>` element will be declared.
+ The string `#default` may be used to represent the default
+ name·space.
+ Multiple prefixes may be provided, separated by white·space.
+
+ When it comes to name·spaces used internally by ⛩📰 书社, the
+ prefix used by ⛩📰 书社 may be declared _in addition to_ the
+ prefix(es) used in the source document(s).
+ It is not possible to selectively only declare one prefix for a
+ name·space to the exclusion of others.
+
+ `<书社:raw-output>` elements may be used inside of
+ `<书社:serialize-xml>` elements to inject raw output into the
+ serialized X·M·L.
+
The following are recommendations on effective creation of
transforms :—
It is likely an error if two transforms have templates which match
the same element (unless the templates have different priority).
-- Namespace templates (with `@name` or `@mode`) whenever possible.
+- Name·space templates (with `@name` or `@mode`) whenever possible.
- Set `@exclude-result-prefixes` on the root `xslt:transform` element
- to reduce the number of declared namespaces in the final result.
+ to reduce the number of declared name·spaces in the final result.
## Global Params
- **`BUILDTIME`:**
The current time.

- **`SRCREV`:**

- The time at which the source file was last modified.

-The following params are only available in transforms :—
-
-- **`CATALOG`:**
- The path of the catalog file (within `BUILDDIR`).

## Output Wrapping
-⛩️📰 书社 will wrap the final output of the transforms in appropriate
- `<html:html>` and `<html:body>` elements, so it is not necessary for
- transforms to do this explicitly.
-After performing the initial transform, ⛩️📰 书社 will match the root
- node of the result in the following modes to fill in areas of the
+Provided at least one toplevel result element belongs to the H·T·M·L
+ namespace, ⛩📰 书社 will wrap the final output of the transforms in
+ appropriate `<html:html>` and `<html:body>` elements, so it is not
+ necessary for transforms to do this explicitly.
+If a toplevel result element _is_ a `<html:html>` and `<html:body>`
+ element, it will be merged with the one that ⛩📰 书社 creates.
+Consequently, wrapping the result in a `<html:body>` element can be
+ used to enable wrapping for non‐H·T·M·L content, when desired.
+
+As a part of this process, after performing the initial transform
+ ⛩📰 书社 will match in the following modes to fill in areas of the
wrapper :—
- **`书社:header`:**
The result of matching in this mode is inserted into the
`<html:head>` of the output.
-In addition to being called with the transform result, each of these
- modes will additionally be called with a `<xslt:include>` element
- corresponding to each transform.
-If a transform has a `<书社:id>` top‐level element whose value is an
- i·r·i, its `<xslt:include>` element will have a corresponding
- `@书社:id` attribute.
-This mechanism can be used to allow transforms to insert content
- without matching any elements in the result; for example, the
- following transform adds a link to a stylesheet to the `<html:head>`
- of every page :—
+The document being matched will contain the full transform result
+ prior to wrapping as well as an `<书社:id>` element for each
+ transform.
+The latter elements can be matched to enable transforms to provide
+ content _without_ matching any elements in the result; for example,
+ the following transform adds a link to a stylesheet to the
+ `<html:head>` of every page :—
```xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
version="1.0"
>
<书社:id>example:add-stylesheet-links.xslt</书社:id>
- <template match="xslt:include[@书社:id='example:add-stylesheet-links.xslt']" mode="书社:metadata">
+ <template match="书社:id[string(.)='example:add-stylesheet-links.xslt']" mode="书社:metadata">
<html:link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style.css"/>
</template>
</transform>
Output wrapping can be entirely disabled by adding a
`@书社:disable-output-wrapping` attribute to the top‐level element in
the result tree.
-This attribute will also prevent wrapping non‐H·T·M·L embeds with an
- `<html:div>`.
+It will not be performed on outputs whose root elements are
+ `<书社:archive>`, `<书社:base64-binary>`, or `<书社:raw-text>`
+ (described below), or on result trees which do not contain a toplevel
+ element in the H·T·M·L namespace.
## Applying Attributes
In both cases, attributes from various sources are combined with
white·space between them.
-Attribute application takes place after all ordinary transforms have
- completed.
+Attribute application takes place after each stage of the
+ transformation, including after the initial embedding phase.
-Both elements ignore attributes in the `xml:` namespace, except for
+Both elements ignore attributes in the `xml:` name·space, except for
`@xml:lang`, which ignores all but the first definition (including
any already present on the root element).
On H·T·M·L and S·V·G elements, `@lang` has the same behaviour as
`@xml:lang`.
+## Other Kinds of Output
+
+There are a few special elements in the `书社:` name·space which, if
+ they appear as the toplevel element in a transformation result, cause
+ ⛩📰 书社 to produce something other than an X·M·L file.
+They are :—
+
+- **`<书社:archive>`:**
+ Each child element with a `@书社:archived-as` attribute will be
+ archived as a separate file in a resulting tarball (this attribute
+ gives the file name).
+ These elements will be processed the same as the root elements of any
+ other file (e·g, they will be wrapped; they can themselves specify
+ non X·M·L output types, ⁊·c).
+ Other child elements will be ignored.
+
+ If the `<书社:archive>` element is given an `@书社:expanded`
+ attribute, rather than producing a tarball ⛩📰 书社 will output
+ the directory which expanding the tarball would produce.
+ This mechanism can be used to generate multiple files from a single
+ source, provided all of the files are contained with·in the same
+ directory.
+
+- **`<书社:base64-binary>`:**
+ The text nodes in the transformation result will, after removing all
+ Ascii whitespace, be treated as a Base·64 string, which is then
+ decoded.
+
+- **`<书社:raw-text>`:**
+ A plaintext (U·T·F‐8) file will be produced from the text nodes in
+ the transformation result.
