+|Coq| Integrated Development Environment
+========================================
+
+The Coq Integrated Development Environment is a graphical tool, to be
+used as a user-friendly replacement to `coqtop`. Its main purpose is to
+allow the user to navigate forward and backward into a Coq vernacular
+file, executing corresponding commands or undoing them respectively.
+
+CoqIDE is run by typing the command `coqide` on the command line.
+Without argument, the main screen is displayed with an “unnamed
+buffer”, and with a file name as argument, another buffer displaying
+the contents of that file. Additionally, `coqide` accepts the same
+options as `coqtop`, given in :ref:`thecoqcommands`, the ones having obviously
+no meaning for |CoqIDE| being ignored.

+
+A sample |CoqIDE| main screen, while navigating into a file `Fermat.v`,
+is shown in the figure :ref:`CoqIDE main screen <coqide_mainscreen>`.
+At the top is a menu bar, and a tool bar
+below it. The large window on the left is displaying the various
+*script buffers*. The upper right window is the *goal window*, where
+goals to prove are displayed. The lower right window is the *message
+window*, where various messages resulting from commands are displayed.
+At the bottom is the status bar.
+
+Managing files and buffers, basic editing
+----------------------------------------------
+
+In the script window, you may open arbitrarily many buffers to edit.
+The *File* menu allows you to open files or create some, save them,
+print or export them into various formats. Among all these buffers,
+there is always one which is the current *running buffer*, whose name
+is displayed on a background in the *processed* color (green by default), which
+is the one where Coq commands are currently executed.
Buffers may be edited as in any text editor, and classical basic
-editing commands (Copy/Paste, \ldots) are available in the \emph{Edit}
-menu. \CoqIDE{} offers only basic editing commands, so if you need
-more complex editing commands, you may launch your favorite text
-editor on the current buffer, using the \emph{Edit/External Editor}
-menu.
-
-\section{Interactive navigation into \Coq{} scripts}
-
-The running buffer is the one where navigation takes place. The
-toolbar offers five basic navigation commands. The first one,
-represented by a down arrow icon, is for going forward executing one
-command. If that command is successful, the part of the script that
-has been executed is displayed on a background with the
-processed color. If that command fails, the error message is
-displayed in the message window, and the location of the error is
-emphasized by an underline in the error foreground color (red by default).
-
-On Figure~\ref{fig:coqide}, the running buffer is \verb|Fermat.v|, all
-commands until the \verb|Theorem| have been already executed, and the
-user tried to go forward executing \verb|Induction n|. That command
-failed because no such tactic exist (tactics are now in
-lowercase\ldots), and the wrong word is underlined.

+Interactive navigation into Coq scripts
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The running buffer is the one where navigation takes place. The toolbar offers
+five basic commands for this. The first one, represented by a down arrow icon,
+is for going forward executing one command. If that command is successful, the
+part of the script that has been executed is displayed on a background with the
+processed color. If that command fails, the error message is displayed in the
+message window, and the location of the error is emphasized by an underline in
+the error foreground color (red by default).
+
+In the figure :ref:`CoqIDE main screen <coqide_mainscreen>`,
+the running buffer is `Fermat.v`, all commands until
+the ``Theorem`` have been already executed, and the user tried to go
+forward executing ``Induction n``. That command failed because no such
+tactic exists (tactics are now in lowercase…), and the wrong word is
+underlined.
Notice that the processed part of the running buffer is not editable. If
you ever want to modify something you have to go backward using the up
arrow tool, or even better, put the cursor where you want to go back
-and use the \textsf{goto} button. Unlike with \verb|coqtop|, you
-should never use \verb|Undo| to go backward.
-
-There are two additional buttons for navigation within the running buffer.
-The ``down'' button with a line goes directly to the end; the ``up'' button
-with a line goes back to the beginning. The handling of errors when using the
-go-to-the-end button depends on whether \Coq{} is running in asynchronous mode or not
-(see Chapter~\ref{Asyncprocessing}). If it is not running in that mode, execution stops
-as soon as an error is found. Otherwise, execution continues, and the
-error is marked with an underline in the error foreground color, with a background in
-the error background color (pink by default). The same characterization of
-error-handling applies when running several commands using the \textsf{goto} button.

If you ever try to execute a command which happens to run during a
-long time, and would like to abort it before its
-termination, you may use the interrupt button (the white cross on a red circle).
-
-There are other buttons on the \CoqIDE{} toolbar: a button to save the running
-buffer; a button to close the current buffer (an ``X''); buttons to switch among
-buffers (left and right arrows); an ``information'' button; and a ``gears'' button.
-
-The ``information'' button is described in Section~\ref{sec:trytactics}.
-
-The ``gears'' button submits proof terms to the \Coq{} kernel for type-checking.
-When \Coq{} uses asynchronous processing (see Chapter~\ref{Asyncprocessing}), proofs may
-have been completed without kernel-checking of generated proof terms. The presence of
-unchecked proof terms is indicated by \texttt{Qed} statements
-that have a subdued \emph{being-processed} color (light blue by default),

+Trying tactics automatically
+------------------------------
-The menu \texttt{Try Tactics} provides some features for automatically
-trying to solve the current goal using simple tactics. If such a
-tactic succeeds in solving the goal, then its text is automatically
-inserted into the script. There is finally a combination of these
-tactics, called the \emph{proof wizard} which will try each of them in
-turn. This wizard is also available as a tool button (the ``information''
-button). The set of tactics tried by the wizard is customizable in
-the preferences.

These tactics are general ones, in particular they do not refer to
particular hypotheses. You may also try specific tactics related to
the goal or one of the hypotheses, by clicking with the right mouse
button on the goal or the considered hypothesis. This is the
-``contextual menu on goals'' feature, that may be disabled in the
+“contextual menu on goals” feature, that may be disabled in the
preferences if undesirable.
-\section{Proof folding}
-
-As your script grows bigger and bigger, it might be useful to hide the proofs
-of your theorems and lemmas.
-
-This feature is toggled via the \texttt{Hide} entry of the \texttt{Navigation}
-menu. The proof shall be enclosed between \texttt{Proof.} and \texttt{Qed.},
-both with their final dots. The proof that shall be hidden or revealed is the
-first one whose beginning statement (such as \texttt{Theorem}) precedes the
-insertion cursor.
-
-\section{Vernacular commands, templates}
-
-The \texttt{Templates} menu allows using shortcuts to insert
-vernacular commands. This is a nice way to proceed if you are not sure
-of the spelling of the command you want.
-
-Moreover, this menu offers some \emph{templates} which will automatic
-insert a complex command like Fixpoint with a convenient shape for its

-
-The \verb|Compile| menu offers direct commands to:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item compile the current buffer

-\section{Customizations}
-
-You may customize your environment using menu
-\texttt{Edit/Preferences}. A new window will be displayed, with
-several customization sections presented as a notebook.
-
-The first section is for selecting the text font used for scripts, goal
-and message windows.
-
-The second section is devoted to file management: you may
-configure automatic saving of files, by periodically saving the
-contents into files named \verb|#f#| for each opened file
-\verb|f|. You may also activate the \emph{revert} feature: in case a
-opened file is modified on the disk by a third party, \CoqIDE{} may read
-it again for you. Note that in the case you edited that same file, you
-will be prompt to choose to either discard your changes or not. The
-\texttt{File charset encoding} choice is described below in
-Section~\ref{sec:coqidecharencoding}
-
-
-The \verb|Externals| section allows customizing the external commands
-for compilation, printing, web browsing. In the browser command, you
-may use \verb|%s| to denote the URL to open, for example: %

-\section{Using Unicode symbols}
+Using Unicode symbols
+--------------------------
-\CoqIDE{} is based on GTK+ and inherits from it support for Unicode in
+CoqIDE is based on GTK+ and inherits from it support for Unicode in
its text windows. Consequently a large set of symbols is available for
notations.
-\subsection{Displaying Unicode symbols}
-
-You just need to define suitable notations as described in
-Chapter~\ref{Addoc-syntax}. For example, to use the mathematical symbols
-$\forall$ and $\exists$, you may define
-\begin{quote}\tt
-Notation "$\forall$ x : t, P" := \\
-\qquad (forall x:t, P) (at level 200, x ident).\\
-Notation "$\exists$ x : t, P" := \\
-\qquad (exists x:t, P) (at level 200, x ident).
-\end{quote}
+
+Displaying Unicode symbols
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You just need to define suitable notations as described in the chapter
+:ref:`syntaxextensionsandinterpretationscopes`. For example, to use the
+mathematical symbols ∀ and ∃, you may define:
+
+.. coqtop:: in
+
+ Notation "∀ x : T, P" :=
+ (forall x : T, P) (at level 200, x ident).
+ Notation "∃ x : T, P" :=
+ (exists x : T, P) (at level 200, x ident).
+
There exists a small set of such notations already defined, in the
-file \verb|utf8.v| of \Coq{} library, so you may enable them just by
-\verb|Require utf8| inside \CoqIDE{}, or equivalently, by starting
-\CoqIDE{} with \verb|coqide -l utf8|.
+file `utf8.v` of Coq library, so you may enable them just by
+``Require utf8`` inside |CoqIDE|, or equivalently, by starting |CoqIDE| with
+``coqide -l utf8``.
However, there are some issues when using such Unicode symbols: you of
course need to use a character font which supports them. In the Fonts
-section of the preferences, the Preview line displays some Unicode symbols, so
-you could figure out if the selected font is OK. Related to this, one
-thing you may need to do is choose whether GTK+ should use antialiased
-fonts or not, by setting the environment variable \verb|GDK_USE_XFT|
-to 1 or 0 respectively.

-\subsection{Defining an input method for non ASCII symbols}
+Defining an input method for non-ASCII symbols
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-To input a Unicode symbol, a general method provided by GTK+
-is to simultaneously press the
-Control, Shift and ``u'' keys, release, then type the hexadecimal code of the
-symbol required, for example \verb|2200| for the $\forall$ symbol.
-A list of symbol codes is available at \url{http://www.unicode.org}.

An alternative method which does not require to know the hexadecimal
code of the character is to use an Input Method Editor. On POSIX
-systems (Linux distributions, BSD variants and MacOS X), you can use
-\texttt{uim} version 1.6 or later which provides a \LaTeX{}-style

-In the "Global Settings" group set the default Input Method to "ELatin" (don't
