Thanks Makarius, I believe that addresses my use-case. Another question: If the user asks Isabelle to process theory A, and theory A has statement imports dir1/B and theory B has statement imports dir2/C then will Isabelle look for theory C in dir1 or dir1/dir2 ? In other words, does

A while back Larry made this comment: I have just remembered that I always advise people to use “auto” prior to trying sledgehammer, because it will split up the subgoal into manageable parts and simplify them. This is bad advice if “auto” can render the problem impossible to prove. Was it

[isabelle-dev] Thanks for the visit at TUM

Let me add my thanks too, it was a very productive and enjoyable trip! It's also really encouraging to see all the good Isabelle work presented at TPHOLs this year. I especially liked one presenter's comment saying there are only four theorem provers capable of doing real mathematics, and
