<b>PIDE</b> is a novel framework for sophisticated Prover IDEs, |
| 45098 | 19 |
based on Isabelle/Scala technology that is integrated with Isabelle. |
| 47741 | 20 |
It is built around a concept of |
| 45098 | 21 |
<em>asynchronous document processing</em>, which is supported |
22 |
natively by the <em>parallel proof engine</em> implemented in Isabelle/ML. |
|
23 |

<b>Isabelle/jEdit</b> is an example application within the PIDE |
|
27 |
framework — it illustrates many of the ideas in a realistic |
|
28 |
manner, ready to be used right now in Isabelle applications. |

<h2>The Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE</h2> |
|
41 |
||
42 |
<p> |
|
43 |
Isabelle/jEdit consists of some plugins for the well-known jEdit text |
|
44 |
editor framework (http://www.jedit.org), according to the following |
|
45 |
principles. |
|
46 |
</p> |
|
| 39591 | 47 |
|
48 |
<ul> |
|
49 |
||
| 39738 | 50 |
<li>The original jEdit look-and-feel is generally preserved, although |
51 |
some default properties have been changed to accommodate Isabelle |
|
| 40894 | 52 |
(e.g. the text area font).</li> |
| 39736 | 53 |
|
| 39738 | 54 |
<li>Formal Isabelle/Isar text is checked asynchronously while editing. |
55 |
The user is in full command of the editor, and the prover refrains |
|
56 |
from locking portions of the buffer etc.</li> |
|
| 39591 | 57 |
|
| 39738 | 58 |
<li>Prover feedback works via tooltips, syntax highlighting, colors, |
59 |
boxes etc. based on semantic markup provided by Isabelle in the |
|
60 |
background.</li> |
|
61 |
||
62 |
<li>Using the mouse together with the modifier key <tt>C</tt> |
|
63 |
(<tt>CONTROL</tt> on Linux or Windows, |
|
| 45097 | 64 |
<tt>COMMAND</tt> on Mac OS X) exposes additional information.</li> |
| 39736 | 65 |
|
| 39738 | 66 |
<li>Dockable panels (e.g. <em>Output</em>) are managed as independent |
67 |
windows by jEdit, which also allows multiple instances.</li> |
|
| 39591 | 68 |
|
| 45098 | 69 |
<li>Prover process and source files are managed by the Scala layer on |
70 |
the editor side. The prover experiences a mostly timeless and |
|
71 |
stateless environment of formal document content.</li> |
|
72 |

<li>The MacOSX plugin for jEdit disrupts regular C-X/C/V operations, |

| 45097 | 199 |
<li><tt>Font.createFont</tt> mangles the font family of non-regular |

fonts, e.g. bold. IsabelleText font files need to be |

202 |
this has to be repeated whenever fonts shipped with Isabelle are |

203 |
updated!</li> |

| 44700 | 204 |
|
205 |
<li>Missing glyphs are collected from other fonts (like Emacs, |
|
| 45097 | 206 |
Firefox). This is actually an advantage over the Oracle JVM on |
