\chapter{Presenting Theories}
\label{ch:thy-present}

By now the reader should have become sufficiently acquainted with elementary
theory development in Isabelle/HOL.  The following interlude covers the
seemingly ``marginal'' issue of presenting theories in a typographically
pleasing manner.  Isabelle provides a rich infrastructure for concrete syntax
of the underlying $\lambda$-calculus language (see
\S\ref{sec:concrete-syntax}), as well as document preparation of theory texts
based on existing PDF-{\LaTeX} technology (see
\S\ref{sec:document-preparation}).

As pointed out by Leibniz\index{Leibniz, Gottfried Wilhelm} more than 300
years ago, \emph{notions} are in principle more important than
\emph{notations}, but suggestive textual representation of ideas is vital to
reduce the mental effort to comprehend and apply them.
