		       David Aspinall

Status:		supported

===========================================================================

Coq Proof General has experimental multiple file handling for 6.3
versions.  It does not have support for proof by pointing.

There is support for X Symbol, but using character sequences rather
than a special token language.  See notes below for syntax.

There is a tags program, coqtags.

===========================================================================

Installation notes:

Check the values of coq-tags and coq-prog-name in coq.el to see that
they correspond to the paths for coqtop and the library on your system.

Install coqtags in a standard place or add <proof-home>/coq to your PATH.
NB: You may need to change the path to perl at the top of the file.

Generate a TAGS file for the library by running
	coqtags `find . -name \*.v -print`
in the root directory of the library, $COQTOP/theories.  


===========================================================================

Grammar for x-symbols:

  Symbols include sequences naming Greek letters ("Lambda", "lambda", etc),
  connectives /\, \/, etc.  See the X-Symbol char table for details.

  a symbol is encoded only if 
   - preceded by _ or some space or some symbol
  **and**
   - followed by _ or some space or some symbol

  Grammar for sub/superscript: 

   - a double _ introduces a subscript that ends at the first space
   - a double ^ introduces a superscript that ends at the first space
  
   - a _ followed by { introduces a subscript
     expression that ends at the first }
   - a ^ followed by { introduces a superscript
     expression that ends at the first }
