By now the reader should have become sufficiently acquainted with elementary |
| paulson@12764 | 6 |
theory development in Isabelle/HOL\@. The following interlude describes |
| paulson@12764 | 7 |
how to present theories in a typographically |
| wenzelm@12743 | 8 |
pleasing manner. Isabelle provides a rich infrastructure for concrete syntax |
| wenzelm@12743 | 9 |
of the underlying $\lambda$-calculus language (see |
| paulson@12764 | 10 |
{\S}\ref{sec:concrete-syntax}), as well as document preparation of theory texts
|
| wenzelm@12743 | 11 |
based on existing PDF-{\LaTeX} technology (see
|
| paulson@12764 | 12 |
{\S}\ref{sec:document-preparation}).

As pointed out by Leibniz\index{Leibniz, Gottfried Wilhelm} more than 300
|
| wenzelm@12743 | 15 |
years ago, \emph{notions} are in principle more important than
|
| wenzelm@12743 | 16 |
\emph{notations}, but suggestive textual representation of ideas is vital to
|
| wenzelm@12743 | 17 |
reduce the mental effort to comprehend and apply them. |
