+<h2>What is Proof General?</h2>
+<p>
+<b>Proof General</b> is a generic interface for proof assistants,
+currently based on Emacs.
+It has been developed at the
+<a href="http://www.lfcs.informatics.ed.ac.uk/">LFCS</a>
+in the <a href="http://www.ed.ac.uk/">University of Edinburgh</a>.
+Proof General
+works best under
+<a href="http://www.xemacs.org/">XEmacs</a>, but can also be used with
+<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">GNU Emacs</a>.
+You need a recent version in either case.
+</p>
+<p>
+The aim of the Proof General project is to provide powerful and
+configurable interfaces which help user-interaction with interactive
+proof assistants. The strategy of Proof General is to target power
+users rather than novices, building an environment for <i>proof
+engineering</i>. But we include modern user interface features, such
+as toolbar and menus, which make use easier for all. Proof General is
+currently used by many people for organizing large proof developments,
+and also for teaching interactive proof.

+<p>
+These instances of Proof General are functional, but only show a bare
+fraction of what is possible. We are
+seeking volunteers to support and improve each of these
+(please <a href="feedback">send a note to
+ <tt><?php print $project_feedback; ?></tt></a> if you're interested).

+Proof General is ready to be customized to new proof assistants.
+It can be <?php fileshow("ProofGeneral/demoisa/demoisa-easy.el",
