\begin{abstract}
wenzelm@7167
    40
  \emph{Intelligible semi-automated reasoning} (\emph{Isar}) is a generic
wenzelm@7167
    41
  approach to readable formal proof documents.  It sets out to bridge the
wenzelm@7167
    42
  semantic gap between any internal notions of proof based on primitive
wenzelm@7167
    43
  inferences and tactics, and an appropriate level of abstraction for
wenzelm@7167
    44
  user-level work.  The Isar formal proof language has been designed to
wenzelm@7167
    45
  satisfy quite contradictory requirements, being both ``declarative'' and
wenzelm@7167
    46
  immediately ``executable'', by virtue of the \emph{Isar/VM} interpreter.
wenzelm@7167
    47
  
wenzelm@7167
    48
  The current version of Isabelle offers Isar as an alternative proof language
wenzelm@7167
    49
  interface layer, beyond traditional tactic scripts.  The Isabelle/Isar
wenzelm@7167
    50
  system provides an interpreter for the Isar formal proof document language.
wenzelm@7167
    51
  Isabelle/Isar input may consist either of \emph{proper document
wenzelm@7167
    52
    constructors}, or \emph{improper auxiliary commands} (for diagnostics,
wenzelm@7167
    53
  exploration etc.).  Proof texts consisting of proper document constructors
wenzelm@7335
    54
  only, admit a purely static reading, thus being intelligible later without
wenzelm@7167
    55
  requiring dynamic replay that is so typical for traditional proof scripts.
wenzelm@7167
    56
  Any of the Isabelle/Isar commands may be executed in single-steps, so
wenzelm@7167
    57
  basically the interpreter has a proof text debugger already built-in.
wenzelm@7167
    58
  
wenzelm@7297
    59
  Employing the Isar instantiation of \emph{Proof~General}, the generic Emacs
wenzelm@7167
    60
  interface for interactive proof assistants of LFCS Edinburgh, we arrive at a
wenzelm@7167
    61
  reasonable environment for \emph{live document editing}.  Thus proof texts
wenzelm@7167
    62
  may be developed incrementally by issuing proper document constructors,
wenzelm@7167
    63
  including forward and backward tracing of partial documents; intermediate
wenzelm@7167
    64
  states may be inspected by diagnostic commands.
wenzelm@7167
    65
  
wenzelm@7335
    66
  The Isar subsystem is tightly integrated into the Isabelle/Pure meta-logic
wenzelm@7335
    67
  implementation.  Theories, theorems, proof procedures etc.\ may be used
wenzelm@7335
    68
  interchangeably between Isabelle-classic proof scripts and Isabelle/Isar
wenzelm@7335
    69
  documents.  Isar is as generic as Isabelle, able to support a wide range of
wenzelm@7466
    70
  object-logics.  The current working environment for end-users is setup
wenzelm@7466
    71
  mainly for Isabelle/HOL.
