This layer adds support for the Coq proof assistant (adapted from spacemacs-coq) to Spacemacs.
Features:
- Syntax highlighting
- Syntax-checking
- Auto-completion
- Debugging of mathematical proofs from within emacs using a special proof layout
- Replacement of certain constants with the correct mathematical signs
- Inserting of certain preconfigured proof elements
Install
Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to
add coq to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.
Coq
Official installers for MacOS and Windows are available from: https://coq.inria.fr/download.
Linux users can build from source or consult with their own package managers.
Troubleshooting
There are empty square boxes in place of math operators
Math symbols present in your buffer (e.g. forall exists) will attempt to be
prettified, if you are seeing empty square boxes this means an appropriate math
symbol cannot be found in your font. You can either install a appropriate math
font, or disable the feature by adding the following snippet to the your
dotspacemacs/user-config.
