\chapter{Syntax of Isabelle Theories}\label{app:TheorySyntax}

Below we present the full syntax of theory definition files as
provided by {\Pure} Isabelle --- object-logics may add their own
sections.  \S\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 $longident$ are the lexical
  classes of identifiers, type identifiers, natural numbers, quoted
  strings (without the need for \verb$\$\dots\verb$\$ between lines)
  and long qualified \ML{} identifiers.
  The categories $id$, $tid$, $nat$ are fully defined in \iflabelundefined{Defining-Logics}%
  {{\it The Isabelle Reference Manual}, chapter `Defining Logics'}%
  {\S\ref{Defining-Logics}}.
  
\item $text$ is all text from the current position to the end of file,
  $verbatim$ is any text enclosed in \verb.{|.\dots\verb.|}.
  
\item Comments in theories take the form {\tt (*}\dots{\tt*)} and may
  be nested, just as in \ML.
\end{itemize}
