Abstract
By now the reader should have become su.ciently acquainted with elementary theory development in Isabelle/HOL. The followingin terlude describes how to present theories in a typographically pleasing manner. Isabelle provides a rich infrastructure for concrete syntax of the underlying π-calculus language (see Sect. 4.1), as well as document preparation of theory texts based on existingPD F-LATEX technology (see Sect. 4.2).
As pointed out by Leibniz more than 300 years ago, notions are in principle more important than notations, but suggestive textual representation of ideas is vital to reduce the mental effort to comprehend and apply them.
