-How to migrate the Coq Reference Manual to Sphinx
-=================================================
-
-# Install Python3 packages (requires Python 3, python3-pip, python3-setuptools)
-
- * pip3 install bs4 sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme pexpect antlr4-python3-runtime sphinxcontrib-bibtex
-
-# You may want to do this under a virtualenv, particularly if you end up with issues finding sphinxcontrib.bibtex. http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/
-
- * pip3 install virtualenv
- * virtualenv coqsphinxing # you may want to use -p to specify the python version
- * source coqsphinxing/bin/activate # activate the virtual environment
-
-# After activating the virtual environment you can run the above pip3 command to install sphinx. You will have to activate the virtual environment before building the docs in your session.
-
-# Add this Elisp code to .emacs, if you're using emacs (recommended):
-
- (defun sphinx/quote-coq-refman-region (left right &optional beg end count)
- (unless beg
- (if (region-active-p)
- (setq beg (region-beginning) end (region-end))
- (setq beg (point) end nil)))
- (unless count
- (setq count 1))
- (save-excursion
- (goto-char (or end beg))
- (dotimes (_ count) (insert right)))
- (save-excursion
- (goto-char beg)
- (dotimes (_ count) (insert left)))
- (if (and end (characterp left)) ;; Second test handles the ::`` case
- (goto-char (+ (* 2 count) end))
- (goto-char (+ count beg))))
-
- (defun sphinx/coqtop (beg end)
- (interactive (list (region-beginning) (region-end)))
- (replace-regexp "^Coq < " " " nil beg end)
- (indent-rigidly beg end -3)
- (goto-char beg)
- (insert ".. coqtop:: all\n\n"))
-
- (defun sphinx/rst-coq-action ()
- (interactive)
- (pcase (read-char "Command?")
- (?g (sphinx/quote-coq-refman-region ":g:`" "`"))
- (?n (sphinx/quote-coq-refman-region ":n:`" "`"))
- (?t (sphinx/quote-coq-refman-region ":token:`" "`"))
- (?m (sphinx/quote-coq-refman-region ":math:`" "`"))
- (?: (sphinx/quote-coq-refman-region "::`" "`"))
- (?` (sphinx/quote-coq-refman-region "``" "``"))
- (?c (sphinx/coqtop (region-beginning) (region-end)))))
-
- (global-set-key (kbd "<f12>") #'sphinx/rst-coq-action)
-
- With this code installed, you can hit "F12" followed by an appropriate key to do quick markup of text
- (this will make more sense once you've started editing the text).
-
-# Fork the Coq repo, if needed:
-
- https://github.com/coq/coq
-
-# Clone the repo to your work machine
-
-# Add Maxime Dénès's repo as a remote:
-
- git remote add sphinx https://github.com/maximedenes/coq.git
-
- (or choose a name other than "sphinx")
-
- Verify with:
-
- git remote -v
-
-# Fetch from the remote
-
- git fetch sphinx
-
-# Checkout the sphinx-doc branch
-
- git checkout sphinx-doc
-
- You should pull from the repo from time to time to keep your local copy up-to-date:
-
- git pull sphinx sphinx-doc
-
- You may want to create a new branch to do your work in.
-
-# Choose a Reference Manual chapter to work on at
-
- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Yo7dV4OI0AY9Di-lsEQ3UTmn5ygGLlhxjym7cTCMCWU
-
-# For each chapter, raw ReStructuredText (the Sphinx format), created by the "html2rest" utility,
- is available in the directory porting/raw-rst/
-
- Elsewhere, depending on the chapter, there should be an almost-empty template file already created,
- which is in the location where the final version should go
-
-# Manually edit the .rst file, place it in the correct location
-
- There are small examples in sphinx/porting/, a larger example in language/gallina-extensions.rst
-
- (N.B.: the migration is a work-in-progress, your suggestions are welcome)
-
- Find the chapter you're working on from the online manual at https://coq.inria.fr/distrib/current/refman/.
- At the top of the file, after the chapter heading, add:
-
- :Source: https://coq.inria.fr/distrib/current/refman/the-chapter-file.html
- :Converted by: Your Name
-
- N.B.: These source and converted-by annotations should help for the migration phase. Later on,
- those annotations will be removed, and contributors will be mentioned in the Coq credits.
-
- Remove chapter numbers
-
- Replace section, subsection numbers with reference labels:
-
- .. _some-reference-label:
-
- Place the label before the section or subsection, followed by a blank line.
-
- Note the leading underscore. Use :ref:`some_reference-label` to refer to such a label; note the leading underscore is omitted.
- Many cross-references may be to other chapters. If the required label exists, use it. Otherwise, use a dummy reference of the form
- `TODO-n.n.n-mnemonic` we can fixup later. Example:
-
- :ref:`TODO-1.3.2-definitions`
-
- We can grep for those TODOs, and the existing subsection number makes it easy to find in the exisyting manual.
-
- For the particular case of references to chapters, we can use a
-convention for the cross-reference name, so no TODO is needed.
-
- :ref:`thegallinaspecificationlanguage`
-
-That is, the chapter label is the chapter title, all in lower-case,
-with no spaces or punctuation. For chapters with subtitles marked with
-a ":", like those for Omega and Nsatz, use just the chapter part
-preceding the ":". These labels should already be in the
-placeholder .rst files for each chapter.
-
-
- You can also label other items, like grammars, with the same syntax. To refer to such labels, not involving a
- section or subsection, use the syntax
-
- :ref:`Some link text <label-name>`
-
- Yes, the angle-brackets are needed here!
-
- For bibliographic references (those in biblio.bib), use :cite:`thecitation`.
-
- Grammars will get mangled by the translation. Look for "productionlist" in the examples, also see
- http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/para.html.
-
- For Coq examples that appear, look at the "coqtop" syntax in porting/tricky-bits.rst. The Sphinx
- script will run coqtop on those examples, and can show the output (or not).
-
- The file replaces.rst contains replacement definitions for some items that are clumsy to write out otherwise.
- Use
-
- .. include:: replaces.rst
-
- to gain access to those definitions in your file (you might need a path prefix). Some especially-important
- replacements are |Cic|, |Coq|, |CoqIDE|, and |Gallina|, which display those names in small-caps. Please use them,
- so that they're rendered consistently.
-
- Similarly, there are some LaTeX macros in preamble.rst that can be useful.
-
- Conventions:
-
- - Keywords and other literal text is double-backquoted (e.g. ``Module``, ``Section``, ``(``, ``,``).
-
- - Metavariables are single-backquotes (e.g. `term`, `ident`)
-
- - Use the cmd directive for Vernacular commands, like:
-
- .. cmd:: Set Printing All.
-
- Within this directive, prefix metavariables (ident, term) with @:
-
- .. cmd:: Add Printing Let @ident.
-
- There's also the "cmdv" directive for variants of a command.
-
- - Use the "exn" and "warn" directives for errors and warnings:
-
- .. exn:: Something's not right.
- .. warn:: You shouldn't do that.
-
- - Use the "example" directive for examples
-
- - Use the "g" role for inline Gallina, like :g:`fun x => x`
-
- - Use code blocks for blocks of Gallina. You can use a double-colon at the end of a line::
-
- your code here
-
- which prints a single colon, or put the double-colon on a newline.
-
-::
-
- your other code here
-
-# Making changes to the text
-
- The goal of the migration is simply to change the storage format from LaTeX to ReStructuredText. The goal is not
- to make any organizational or other substantive changes to the text. If you do notice nits (misspellings, wrong
- verb tense, and so on), please do change them. For example, the programming language that Coq is written in is these days
- called "OCaml", and there are mentions of the older name "Objective Caml" in the reference manual that should be changed.
-
-# Build, view the manual
-
- In the root directory of your local repo, run "make sphinx". You can view the result in a browser by loading the HTML file
- associated with your chapter, which will be contained in the directory doc/sphinx/_build/html/ beneath the repo root directory.
- Make any changes you need until there are no build warnings and the output is perfect. :-)
-
-# Creating pull requests
-
- When your changes are done, commit them, push to your fork:
-
- git commit -m "useful commit message" file
- git push origin sphinx-doc
-
- (or push to another branch, if you've created one). Then go to your GitHub
- fork and create a pull request against Maxime's sphinx-doc
- branch. If your commit is recent, you should see a link on your
- fork's code page to do that. Otherwise, you may need to go to your
- branch on GitHub to do that.
-
-# Issues/Questions/Suggestions
-
- As the migration proceeds, if you have technical issues, have a more general question, or want to suggest something, please contact:
-
- Paul Steckler <steck@stecksoft.com>
- Maxime Dénès <maxime.denes@inria.fr>
-
-# Issues
-
- Should the stuff in replaces.rst go in preamble.rst?
- In LaTeX, some of the grammars add productions to existing nonterminals, like term ++= ... . How to indicate that?

+=============================
+ Documenting Coq with Sphinx
+=============================
+
+..
+ README.rst is auto-generated from README.template.rst and the coqrst docs;
+ use ``doc/tools/coqrst/regen_readme.py`` to rebuild it.
+
+Coq's reference manual is written in `reStructuredText <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html>`_ (“reST”), and compiled with `Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>`_.
+
+In addition to standard reST directives (a directive is similar to a LaTeX environment) and roles (a role is similar to a LaTeX command), the ``coqrst`` plugin loaded by the documentation uses a custom *Coq domain* — a set of Coq-specific directives that define *objects* like tactics, commands (vernacs), warnings, etc. —, some custom *directives*, and a few custom *roles*. Finally, this manual uses a small DSL to describe tactic invocations and commands.
+
+Coq objects
+===========
+
+Our Coq domain define multiple `objects`_. Each object has a *signature* (think *type signature*), followed by an optional body (a description of that object). The following example defines two objects: a variant of the ``simpl`` tactic, and an error that it may raise::
+
+ .. tacv:: simpl @pattern at {+ @num}
+ :name: simpl_at
+
+ This applies ``simpl`` only to the :n:`{+ @num}` occurrences of the subterms
+ matching :n:`@pattern` in the current goal.
+
+ .. exn:: Too few occurrences
+ :undocumented:
+
+Objects are automatically collected into indices, and can be linked to using the role version of the object's directive. For example, you could link to the tactic variant above using ``:tacv:`simpl_at```, and to its exception using ``:exn:`Too few occurrences```.
+
+Names (link targets) are auto-generated for most simple objects, though they can always be overwritten using a ``:name:`` option, as shown above.
+
+- Options, errors, warnings have their name set to their signature, with ``...`` replacing all notation bits. For example, the auto-generated name of ``.. exn:: @qualid is not a module`` is ``... is not a module``, and a link to it would take the form ``:exn:`... is not a module```.
+- Vernacs (commands) have their name set to the first word of their signature. For example, the auto-generated name of ``Axiom @ident : @term`` is ``Axiom``, and a link to it would take the form ``:cmd:`Axiom```.
+- Vernac variants, tactic notations, and tactic variants do not have a default name.
+
+Most objects should have a body (i.e. a block of indented text following the signature, called “contents” in Sphinx terms). Undocumented objects should have the `:undocumented:` flag instead, as shown above. When multiple objects have a single description, they can be grouped into a single object, like this (semicolons can be used to separate the names of the objects)::
+
+ .. cmdv:: Lemma @ident {? @binders} : @type
+ Remark @ident {? @binders} : @type
+ Fact @ident {? @binders} : @type
+ Corollary @ident {? @binders} : @type
+ Proposition @ident {? @binders} : @type
+ :name: Lemma; Remark; Fact; Corollary; Proposition
+
+ These commands are all synonyms of :n:`Theorem @ident {? @binders } : type`.
+
+Notations
+---------
+
+The signatures of most objects can be written using a succinct DSL for Coq notations (think regular expressions written with a Lispy syntax). A typical signature might look like ``Hint Extern @num {? @pattern} => @tactic``, which means that the ``Hint Extern`` command takes a number (``num``), followed by an optional pattern, and a mandatory tactic. The language has the following constructs (the full grammar is in `TacticNotations.g </doc/tools/coqrst/notations/TacticNotations.g>`_):
+
+``@…``
+ A placeholder (``@ident``, ``@num``, ``@tactic``\ …)
+
+``{? …}``
+ an optional block
+
+``{* …}``, ``{+ …}``
+ an optional (``*``) or mandatory (``+``) block that can be repeated, with repetitions separated by spaces
+
+``{*, …}``, ``{+, …}``
+ an optional or mandatory repeatable block, with repetitions separated by commas
+
+``%|``, ``%{``, …
+ an escaped character (rendered without the leading ``%``)
+
+..
+ FIXME document the new subscript support
+
+As an exercise, what do the following patterns mean?
+
+.. code::
+
+ pattern {+, @term {? at {+ @num}}}
+ generalize {+, @term at {+ @num} as @ident}
+ fix @ident @num with {+ (@ident {+ @binder} {? {struct @ident'}} : @type)}
+
+Objects
+-------
+
+Here is the list of all objects of the Coq domain (The symbol :black_nib: indicates an object whose signature can be written using the notations DSL):
+
+``.. cmd::`` :black_nib: A Coq command.
+ Example::
+
+ .. cmd:: Infix "@symbol" := @term ({+, @modifier}).
+
+ This command is equivalent to :n:`…`.
+
+``.. cmdv::`` :black_nib: A variant of a Coq command.
+ Example::
+
+ .. cmd:: Axiom @ident : @term.
+
+ This command links :token:`term` to the name :token:`term` as its specification in
+ the global context. The fact asserted by :token:`term` is thus assumed as a
+ postulate.
+
+ .. cmdv:: Parameter @ident : @term.
+
+ This is equivalent to :n:`Axiom @ident : @term`.
+
+``.. exn::`` :black_nib: An error raised by a Coq command or tactic.
+ This commonly appears nested in the ``.. tacn::`` that raises the
+ exception.
+
+ Example::
+
+ .. tacv:: assert @form by @tactic
+
+ This tactic applies :n:`@tactic` to solve the subgoals generated by
+ ``assert``.
+
+ .. exn:: Proof is not complete
+
+ Raised if :n:`@tactic` does not fully solve the goal.
+
+``.. opt::`` :black_nib: A Coq option.
+ Example::
+
+ .. opt:: Nonrecursive Elimination Schemes
+
+ This option controls whether types declared with the keywords
+ :cmd:`Variant` and :cmd:`Record` get an automatic declaration of the
+ induction principles.
+
+``.. prodn::`` :black_nib: Grammar productions.
+ This is useful if you intend to document individual grammar productions.
+ Otherwise, use Sphinx's `production lists
+ <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/markup/para.html#directive-productionlist>`_.
+
+``.. tacn::`` :black_nib: A tactic, or a tactic notation.
+ Example::
+
+ .. tacn:: do @num @expr
+
+ :token:`expr` is evaluated to ``v`` which must be a tactic value. …
+
+``.. tacv::`` :black_nib: A variant of a tactic.
+ Example::
+
+ .. tacn:: fail
+
+ This is the always-failing tactic: it does not solve any goal. It is
+ useful for defining other tacticals since it can be caught by
+ :tacn:`try`, :tacn:`repeat`, :tacn:`match goal`, or the branching
+ tacticals. …
+
+ .. tacv:: fail @natural
+
+ The number is the failure level. If no level is specified, it
+ defaults to 0. …
+
+``.. thm::`` A theorem.
+ Example::
+
+ .. thm:: Bound on the ceiling function
+
+ Let :math:`p` be an integer and :math:`c` a rational constant. Then
+ :math:`p \ge c \rightarrow p \ge \lceil{c}\rceil`.
+
+``.. warn::`` :black_nib: An warning raised by a Coq command or tactic..
+ Do not mistake this for ``.. warning::``; this directive is for warning
+ messages produced by Coq.
+
+
+ Example::
+
+ .. warn:: Ambiguous path
+
+ When the coercion :token:`qualid` is added to the inheritance graph, non
+ valid coercion paths are ignored.
+
+Coq directives
+==============
+
+In addition to the objects above, the ``coqrst`` Sphinx plugin defines the following directives:
+
+``.. coqtop::`` A reST directive to describe interactions with Coqtop.
+ Usage::
+
+ .. coqtop:: options…
+
+ Coq code to send to coqtop
+
+ Example::
+
+ .. coqtop:: in reset undo
+
+ Print nat.
+ Definition a := 1.
+
+ Here is a list of permissible options:
+
+ - Display options
+
+ - ``all``: Display input and output
+ - ``in``: Display only input
+ - ``out``: Display only output
+ - ``none``: Display neither (useful for setup commands)
+
+ - Behavior options
+
+ - ``reset``: Send a ``Reset Initial`` command before running this block
+ - ``undo``: Send an ``Undo n`` (``n`` = number of sentences) command after
+ running all the commands in this block
+
+ ``coqtop``\ 's state is preserved across consecutive ``.. coqtop::`` blocks
+ of the same document (``coqrst`` creates a single ``coqtop`` process per
+ reST source file). Use the ``reset`` option to reset Coq's state.
+
+``.. coqdoc::`` A reST directive to display Coqtop-formatted source code.
+ Usage::
+
+ .. coqdoc::
+
+ Coq code to highlight
+
+ Example::
+
+ .. coqdoc::
+
+ Definition test := 1.
+
+``.. example::`` A reST directive for examples.
+ This behaves like a generic admonition; see
+ http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#generic-admonition
+ for more details.
+
+ Example::
+
+ .. example:: Adding a hint to a database
+
+ The following adds ``plus_comm`` to the ``plu`` database:
+
+ .. coqdoc::
+
+ Hint Resolve plus_comm : plu.
+
+``.. inference::`` A reST directive to format inference rules.
+ This also serves as a small illustration of the way to create new Sphinx
+ directives.
+
+ Usage::
+
+ .. inference:: name
+
+ newline-separated premisses
+ ------------------------
+ conclusion
+
+ Example::
+
+ .. inference:: Prod-Pro
+
+ \WTEG{T}{s}
+ s \in \Sort
+ \WTE{\Gamma::(x:T)}{U}{\Prop}
+ -----------------------------
+ \WTEG{\forall~x:T,U}{\Prop}
+
+``.. preamble::`` A reST directive for hidden math.
+ Mostly useful to let MathJax know about `\def`\ s and `\newcommand`\ s.
+
+ Example::
+
+ .. preamble::
+
+ \newcommand{\paren}[#1]{\left(#1\right)}
+
+Coq roles
+=========
+
+In addition to the objects and directives above, the ``coqrst`` Sphinx plugin defines the following roles:
+
+``:g:`` Coq code.
+ Use this for Gallina and Ltac snippets::
+
+ :g:`apply plus_comm; reflexivity`
+ :g:`Set Printing All.`
+ :g:`forall (x: t), P(x)`
+
+``:n:`` Any text using the notation syntax (``@id``, ``{+, …}``, etc.).
+ Use this to explain tactic equivalences. For example, you might write
+ this::
+
+ :n:`generalize @term as @ident` is just like :n:`generalize @term`, but
+ it names the introduced hypothesis :token:`ident`.
+
+ Note that this example also uses ``:token:``. That's because ``ident`` is
+ defined in the the Coq manual as a grammar production, and ``:token:``

+
+``:production:`` A grammar production not included in a ``productionlist`` directive.

+ Example::
+

+
+ .. coqtop:: all
+
+ Lemma l2: 2 + 2 <> 1.
+
+Add either ``undo`` to the first block or ``reset`` to the second block to avoid nesting lemmas.
+
+Abbreviations and macros
+------------------------
+
+Abbreviations and placeholders for specially-formatted names (like ``|Cic|``, ``|Coq|``, ``|CoqIDE|``, ``|Ltac|``, and ``|Gallina|``) are defined in a `separate file </doc/sphinx/replaces.rst>`_ included by most chapters of the manual. Some useful LaTeX macros are defined in `</doc/sphinx/preamble.rst>`_.
+
+Emacs
+-----
+
+The ``dev/tools/coqdev.el`` folder contains a convenient Emacs function to quickly insert Sphinx roles and quotes. It takes a single character (one of ``gntm:```), and inserts one of ``:g:``, ``:n:``, ``:t:``, or an arbitrary role, or double quotes. You can also select a region of text, and wrap it in single or double backticks using that function.
+
+Use the following snippet to bind it to :kbd:`F12` in ``rst-mode``::

+=============================
+ Documenting Coq with Sphinx
+=============================
+
+..
+ README.rst is auto-generated from README.template.rst and the coqrst docs;
+ use ``doc/tools/coqrst/regen_readme.py`` to rebuild it.
+
+Coq's reference manual is written in `reStructuredText <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/basics.html>`_ (“reST”), and compiled with `Sphinx <http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>`_.
+
+In addition to standard reST directives (a directive is similar to a LaTeX environment) and roles (a role is similar to a LaTeX command), the ``coqrst`` plugin loaded by the documentation uses a custom *Coq domain* — a set of Coq-specific directives that define *objects* like tactics, commands (vernacs), warnings, etc. —, some custom *directives*, and a few custom *roles*. Finally, this manual uses a small DSL to describe tactic invocations and commands.
+
+Coq objects
+===========
+
+Our Coq domain define multiple `objects`_. Each object has a *signature* (think *type signature*), followed by an optional body (a description of that object). The following example defines two objects: a variant of the ``simpl`` tactic, and an error that it may raise::
+
+ .. tacv:: simpl @pattern at {+ @num}
+ :name: simpl_at
+
+ This applies ``simpl`` only to the :n:`{+ @num}` occurrences of the subterms
+ matching :n:`@pattern` in the current goal.
+
+ .. exn:: Too few occurrences
+ :undocumented:
+
+Objects are automatically collected into indices, and can be linked to using the role version of the object's directive. For example, you could link to the tactic variant above using ``:tacv:`simpl_at```, and to its exception using ``:exn:`Too few occurrences```.
+
+Names (link targets) are auto-generated for most simple objects, though they can always be overwritten using a ``:name:`` option, as shown above.
+
+- Options, errors, warnings have their name set to their signature, with ``...`` replacing all notation bits. For example, the auto-generated name of ``.. exn:: @qualid is not a module`` is ``... is not a module``, and a link to it would take the form ``:exn:`... is not a module```.
+- Vernacs (commands) have their name set to the first word of their signature. For example, the auto-generated name of ``Axiom @ident : @term`` is ``Axiom``, and a link to it would take the form ``:cmd:`Axiom```.
+- Vernac variants, tactic notations, and tactic variants do not have a default name.
+
+Most objects should have a body (i.e. a block of indented text following the signature, called “contents” in Sphinx terms). Undocumented objects should have the `:undocumented:` flag instead, as shown above. When multiple objects have a single description, they can be grouped into a single object, like this (semicolons can be used to separate the names of the objects)::
+
+ .. cmdv:: Lemma @ident {? @binders} : @type
+ Remark @ident {? @binders} : @type
+ Fact @ident {? @binders} : @type
+ Corollary @ident {? @binders} : @type
+ Proposition @ident {? @binders} : @type
+ :name: Lemma; Remark; Fact; Corollary; Proposition
+
+ These commands are all synonyms of :n:`Theorem @ident {? @binders } : type`.
+
+Notations
+---------
+
+The signatures of most objects can be written using a succinct DSL for Coq notations (think regular expressions written with a Lispy syntax). A typical signature might look like ``Hint Extern @num {? @pattern} => @tactic``, which means that the ``Hint Extern`` command takes a number (``num``), followed by an optional pattern, and a mandatory tactic. The language has the following constructs (the full grammar is in `TacticNotations.g </doc/tools/coqrst/notations/TacticNotations.g>`_):
+
+``@…``
+ A placeholder (``@ident``, ``@num``, ``@tactic``\ …)
+
+``{? …}``
+ an optional block
+
+``{* …}``, ``{+ …}``
+ an optional (``*``) or mandatory (``+``) block that can be repeated, with repetitions separated by spaces
+
+``{*, …}``, ``{+, …}``
+ an optional or mandatory repeatable block, with repetitions separated by commas
+
+``%|``, ``%{``, …
+ an escaped character (rendered without the leading ``%``)
+
+..
+ FIXME document the new subscript support
+
+As an exercise, what do the following patterns mean?
+
+.. code::
+
+ pattern {+, @term {? at {+ @num}}}
+ generalize {+, @term at {+ @num} as @ident}
+ fix @ident @num with {+ (@ident {+ @binder} {? {struct @ident'}} : @type)}
+
+Objects

+
+Here is the list of all objects of the Coq domain (The symbol :black_nib: indicates an object whose signature can be written using the notations DSL):
+

+.. cmd:: Inductive @ident : {? @sort } := {? | } @ident : @type {* | @ident : @type }
-.. cmd:: Inductive @ident : @sort := {? | } @ident : @type {* | @ident : @type }
+ This command defines a simple inductive type and its constructors.
+ The first :token:`ident` is the name of the inductively defined type
+ and :token:`sort` is the universe where it lives. The next :token:`ident`\s
+ are the names of its constructors and :token:`type` their respective types.
+ Depending on the universe where the inductive type :token:`ident` lives
+ (e.g. its type :token:`sort`), Coq provides a number of destructors.
+ Destructors are named :token:`ident`\ ``_ind``, :token:`ident`\ ``_rec``
+ or :token:`ident`\ ``_rect`` which respectively correspond to elimination
+ principles on :g:`Prop`, :g:`Set` and :g:`Type`.
+ The type of the destructors expresses structural induction/recursion
+ principles over objects of type :token:`ident`.
+ The constant :token:`ident`\ ``_ind`` is always provided,
+ whereas :token:`ident`\ ``_rec`` and :token:`ident`\ ``_rect`` can be
+ impossible to derive (for example, when :token:`ident` is a proposition).
-The name :token:`ident` is the name of the inductively defined type and
-:token:`sort` is the universes where it lives. The :token:`ident` are the names
-of its constructors and :token:`type` their respective types. The types of the
-constructors have to satisfy a *positivity condition* (see Section
-:ref:`positivity`) for :token:`ident`. This condition ensures the soundness of
-the inductive definition. If this is the case, the :token:`ident` are added to
-the environment with their respective types. Accordingly to the universe where
-the inductive type lives (e.g. its type :token:`sort`), Coq provides a number of
-destructors for :token:`ident`. Destructors are named ``ident_ind``,
-``ident_rec`` or ``ident_rect`` which respectively correspond to
-elimination principles on :g:`Prop`, :g:`Set` and :g:`Type`. The type of the
-destructors expresses structural induction/recursion principles over objects of
-:token:`ident`. We give below two examples of the use of the Inductive
-definitions.
