This refers to Isabelle/cd8b6d849b6a. That changeset also contains some
documentation in the "system" manual. Some examples are in 3ff16a7f0b2e for
the src/Doc directory, with its traditional complication of matters -- and it
got again a bit simpler. As expected, there were a few mistakes in the
informal specification of dependencies on 'files', which was a left-over from
the bad old times of "make".
I am putting the 'document_files' reform here on the table for inspection and
discussion. If no further aspects are arising that require change of syntax
or semantics of the mechanism, I will update all Isabelle + AFP session ROOT
files eventually, lets say 2 weeks from now.
Is there anything left to say about this?
I've used this new form privately for a few sessions, and found the
defaults quite canonical.
So if nothing happens in between, I will convert all Isabelle + AFP ROOT
files systematically at the end of this week. I want to do the conversion
of hundreds of session entries exactly once!
