It has notion of displaying -a "current context" for a proof, and configuration with a proof -engine command for searching for theorems. It would be useful to -extend these facilities with a <i>theory browser</i> for investigating -the theories currently defined in (or available from) a running proof -assistant. This involves designing a small protocol to communicate -with the proof assistant and a generic way of displaying theories -which have different aspects from system to system. A way which would -fit in well with Emacs would be to use a <tt>dired</tt>-like buffer. -</p> -<p> -An alternative version of this project would be to write a standalone -theory browser which uses an extension of the forthcoming Proof -General standardized protocol for interaction (see white paper <a -href="/home/da/drafts/#white">here</a>).
