    58 <a href="http://zermelo.dcs.ed.ac.uk/~proofgen/">Proof General</a> is
    59 a generic Emacs interface for proof assistants, including Isabelle
    60 (both for the classic and Isar version).  Proof General is suitable
    61 for use by pacifists and Emacs militants alike. Its most prominent
    62 feature is script management, providing a metaphor of <em>live proof
    63 script editing</em>.
