I am still having some problems with it. Given

then isabelle build -d . HOL-IMP1 puts IMP-generated into "~~/src/HOL/IMP" - I
guess that is to be expeced. But I want it in my current directory. This works

session "HOL-IMP1" in "~~/src/HOL/IMP" = HOL +
 options [document_output="$THIS_DIR/IMP-generated", document=pdf]
 theories
   BExp

but it requires me to set a shell variable THIS_DIR before invoking isabelle
build. Is there a more elegant way to achive the same effect?

How did you achieve the effect of cwd before? As far as I can tell, the document dump directory was always relative to the session sources.

In the ROOT specifications, any references to the file-system are relative to the location of the ROOT file itself. Not writing 'in' means "." relatively to that.


I tried removing the "in":

session "HOL-IMP1" = HOL +
 options [document_output="IMP-generated", document=pdf]
 theories
    "~~/src/HOL/IMP/BExp"

But now I cannot find IMP-generated anywhere in my home directory. Where should
I look?

Maybe you just need another run of build with option "-c" to ensure that the build is repeated. Since files are identified via SHA1, it does not help to touch some of the sources.


Also note that document_output is not a 1-to-1 replacement for the old "-D generated" side-effect, it rather specifies the base directory the full document build-beds for each document_variant (which is just "document" by default).

The best starting point in the documentation at the moment is the section on "isabelle mkroot" in the system manual, and the ROOT that it generates. The example there also shows how build -D can be used as a shortcut to build the sessions with the ROOT in the given directory, to avoid some command-line redundancy.

There is some further material in chapter 4 on "presenting theories", but this is not complete yet. I still don't have a systematic exposition of the build options.

Nonetheless, someone surprised me yesterday in using it at an expert level, with document_output=".", although that is not for the faint-hearted: it puts all the generated stuff right in the document template directory, hopefully without name clashes, especially on Mac OS file-systems. Maybe this should be discontinued before it causes some harm.
