\chapter{Syntax of Isabelle Theories}\label{app:TheorySyntax}
Chapter~\ref{sec:ref-defining-theories} explains the meanings of these
constructs.  The syntax obeys the following conventions:
\begin{itemize}
\item {\tt Typewriter font} denotes terminal symbols.
\item $id$, $tid$, $nat$, $string$ and $text$ are the lexical classes of
  identifiers, type identifiers, natural numbers, \ML\ strings (with their
  quotation marks, but without the need for \verb$\$ at the end of a line and
  the beginning of the next line) and arbitrary \ML\ text.  The first three
  are fully defined in \iflabelundefined{Defining-Logics}%
    {{\it The Isabelle Reference Manual}, chapter `Defining Logics'}%
    {Chap.\ts\ref{Defining-Logics}}.
\end{itemize}
Comments in theories take the form {\tt (*} {\it text\/} {\tt*)}, where
{\it text\/} should not contain the character sequence {\tt*)}.
