\maketitle 

\begin{abstract}
  \emph{Intelligible semi-automated reasoning} (\emph{Isar}) is a generic
  approach to readable formal proof documents.  It sets out to bridge the
  semantic gap between any internal notions of proof based on primitive
  inferences and tactics, and an appropriate level of abstraction for
  user-level work.  The Isar formal proof language has been designed to
  satisfy quite contradictory requirements, being both ``declarative'' and
  immediately ``executable'', by virtue of the \emph{Isar/VM} interpreter.
  
  The current version of Isabelle offers Isar as an alternative proof language
  interface layer.  The Isabelle/Isar system provides an interpreter for the
  Isar formal proof document language.  The input may consist either of
  \emph{proper document constructors}, or \emph{improper auxiliary commands}
  (for diagnostics, exploration etc.).  Proof texts consisting of proper
  document constructors only, admit a purely static reading, thus being
  intelligible later without requiring dynamic replay that is so typical for
  traditional proof scripts.  Any of the Isabelle/Isar commands may be
  executed in single-steps, so basically the interpreter has a proof text
  debugger already built-in.
  
  Employing the Isar instantiation of \emph{Proof~General}, the generic Emacs
  interface for interactive proof assistants of LFCS Edinburgh, we arrive at a
  reasonable environment for \emph{live document editing}.  Thus proof texts
  may be developed incrementally by issuing proper document constructors,
  including forward and backward tracing of partial documents; intermediate
  states may be inspected by diagnostic commands.
  
  The Isar subsystem is tightly integrated into the Isabelle/Pure meta-logic
  implementation.  Theories, theorems, proof procedures etc.\ may be used
  interchangeably between classic Isabelle proof scripts and Isabelle/Isar
  documents.  Isar is as generic as Isabelle, able to support a wide range of
  object-logics.  Currently, the end-user working environment is most complete
  for Isabelle/HOL.
