+## Prerequisites
+
+In most cases, ⛩️📰 书社 aims to require only functionality which is
+  present in all Posix‐compliant 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.
+
+### `file`
+
+This is a Posix utility, but ⛩️📰 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 ⛩️📰 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 not included in the Linux Standard Base or
+  installed by default in many distributions.
+Only `ustar` format support is required.
+
+### `uudecode` and `uuencode`
+
+These are Posix utilities, but 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
+  can be installed to access them.

+### `xmlcatalog` and `xmllint`

+  (e·g by the name `libxml2-utils`).

-
-It is **strongly recommended** that all templates in parsers other than

+Alternatively, you can set the `@书社:supported-media-types` attribute
+  on the root element of the parser to override media type support
+  detection.
+
+Even when `@书社:supported-media-types` is set, it is a requirement
+  that each parser transform any `<html:script>` elements with a
+  `@type` which matches their registered types into something else.
+Otherwise the parser will be stuck in an endless loop.

+  this sense operate on the same basic principles as transforms
+  (described below).
+The major distinction between X·M·L parsers and transforms is where in
+  the process the transformation happens:
+Parsers are applied *prior* to embedding (and can be used to generate
+  embeds); transforms are applied *after*.

+  transforms :⁠—
+
+- **`BUILDTIME`:**
+  The current time.
+
+- **`CKSUM`:**
+  The checksum of the source file (⅌ `cksum`).
+
+- **`IDENTIFIER`:**
+  The ⛩️📰 书社 identifier of the source file (a u·r·i beginning with
+    `about:shushe`).
+
+- **`SRCREV`:**
+  The value of the `SRCREV` variable (if present).
+
+- **`SRCTIME`:**
+  The time at which the source file was last modified.
+  Due to limitations in Posix, this time will only have minute
+    precision if the file was modified in the last six months, and will
+    only have day precision if the file is older.
+  Users should not expect this value to be particularly stable.
+
+- **`THISREV`:**
+  The value of the `THISREV` variable (if present).
+
+The following params are only available in transforms :⁠—
+
+- **`CATALOG`:**
+  The path of the catalog file (within `BUILDDIR`).
+
+- **`PATH`:**
+  The path of the output file (within `DESTDIR`).

+Output wrapping can be entirely disabled by adding a
+  `@书社:disable-output-wrapping` attribute to the top‐level element in
+  the result tree.
+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).
+
+## Applying Attributes
+
+The `<书社:apply-attributes>` element will apply any attributes on the
+  element to the element(s) it wraps.
+It is especially useful in combination with embeds.
+
+The `<书社:apply-attributes-to-root>` element will apply any attributes
+  on the element to the root node of the final transformation result.
+It is especially useful in combination with output wrapping.
+
+In both cases, attributes from various sources are combined with
+  white·space between them.
+Attribute application takes place after all ordinary transforms have
+  completed.
+
+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.
