   Isabelle/jEdit is an emerging Prover IDE based on advanced
wenzelm@45682
    25
   technology of Isabelle/Scala.  It provides a metaphor of continuous
wenzelm@45682
    26
   proof checking of a versioned collection of theory sources, with
wenzelm@45682
    27
   instantaneous feedback in real-time and rich semantic markup
wenzelm@45682
    28
   associated with the formal text.

   The classic Isabelle user interface is Proof General by David
wenzelm@41844
    31
   Aspinall and others.  It is a generic Emacs interface for proof
wenzelm@48676
    32
   assistants, including Isabelle.  Its main feature is script
wenzelm@48676
    33
   management, providing a metaphor of stepwise proof script editing
wenzelm@48676
    34
   and partial locking of the buffer.
