 In Ascii environments, ⛩️📰 书社 should be written `Shushe`, following

+## 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.
+
+### `date`
+
+This is a Posix utility, but ⛩️📰 书社 currently depends on
+  unspecified behaviour.
+When the G·N·U version of `stat` is being used, then the G·N·U version
+  of `date` is also expected.
+
+### `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.
+
+### `stat`
+
+This is not a Posix utility, and nor is it particularly portable.
+To get around incompatibilities, ⛩️📰 书社 attempts to recognize G·N·U
+  `stat` by searching for the string `GNU` when invoked with the
+  `--version` option, and falls back to B·S·D behaviour otherwise.
+
+### `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.
+
+### `xargs`
+
+This is a Posix utility, but ⛩️📰 书社 currently depends on
+  unspecified behaviour.
+It requires support for the `-0` flag, which must disable the special
+  quote and whitespace handling of `xargs` in favour of null‐terminated
+  strings.
+
+### `xmlcatalog` and `xmllint`
+
+These are not a Posix utilities.
+They is a part of `libxml2`, but may need to be installed separately
+  (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.

+## Pagination
+
+It is possible to have a single source file produce multiple output
+  files via `<书社:page>` elements, whose `@name` gives the name of the
+  page.
+If a parsed document has a `@书社:destination` which contains `%s`,
+  the `%s` will be replaced with the `@name` for each `<书社:page>` (and
+  removed for the main output).
+Otherwise, the `@name` is inserted before the first period of the
+  filename (or at the end of the filename for those with no period).
+If `<书社:page>`s do not have a `@name`, they are numbered
+  sequentially.
+The destination of pages must be in the same directory as their parent.
+
+Pagination essentially forms a limited convenience for the more
+  sophisticated technique of creating an archive with ⛩️📰 书社 and
+  then unarchiving it.
+Pages are, from Make’s point of view, untracked side·effects of
+  installing the main output, meaning they cannot be targeted directly
+  and will not appear in `make list` or `make listout`.
+They are intended solely for the like of indices and feeds, for which
+  convenience and necessity outweigh their flaws.
