+\section{Introduction}\label{sec:introduction}
+Writing proofs in natural deduction or in similar, tree-like calculi,
+is always a challenge: from the typographical point of view, these
+proofs are complex objects that cannot be simply typeset using the
+standard \LaTeX{} commands. Thus, many packages have been developed:
+Sam Buss's \texttt{bussproofs.sty},
+\url{http://math.ucsd.edu/~sbuss/ResearchWeb/bussproofs/}; Makoto
+Tatsuta's \texttt{proof.sty},
+\url{http://research.nii.ac.jp/~tatsuta/proof-sty.html}; and
+\texttt{prooftree.sty} by Paul Taylor,
+\url{http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/proofs/taylor}.
+
+All these packages have their merits and weaknesses. For example,
+Buss's package is extremely flexible but inference rules with more
+than five assumptions cannot be directly typeset. On the other hand,
+Tatsuta's package provides a very simple set of commands doing a
+fine job, but customisation is very limited. Taylor's package provides
+a natural syntax for writing proofs, but customisation is limited, and
+the package has an expire date.
+
+The package presented in the following provides most of the features
+which are already present in Buss's package, coupled with some new
+ones. This package uses a syntax which is closer to Tatsuta's one, but
+almost all the typesetting process is parametric, so that each bit of
+a proof can be customised at will.
+
+The graphical appearance of a proof is similar to the one obtained
+using Taylor's package, but the additional features allow to set up
+the graphical output to follow the style of some of the standard
+textbooks, e.g., A.S.~Troelstra and H.~Schwichtenberg, \textit{Basic
+ Proof Theory}, Cambridge University Press (2000).

+\section{Basic Commands}\label{sec:basic_commands}
+The package is invoked by putting \verb|\usepackage{prftree.sty}| in
+the preamble of the document, and installation reduces to put the file
+\texttt{prftree.sty} somewhere in the \LaTeX{} search
+path.\vspace{2ex}
+
+A proof tree constructs a box with the following internal structure:
+\begin{center}
+ {\setlength{\unitlength}{1em}
+ \begin{picture}(31,6)
+ \put(7,4){\framebox(17,2){$\mbox{assumption}_1 \cdots
+ \mbox{assumption}_n$}}
+ \put(6,3){\line(1,0){19}}
+ \put(26,2){\framebox(5,2){rule name}}
+ \put(0,2){\framebox(5,2){label}}
+ \put(10,0){\framebox(11,2){conclusion}}
+ \end{picture}}
+\end{center}
+In turn, each assumption is typeset as a box which has usually the
+shape of another proof tree, while the rule name and the label are
+typeset in a text box, and the conclusion in a math box. The aspect of
+the proof line is controlled by suitable options, as is the presence
+of the rule name and of the label. Options cover other aspects of the
+graphical rendering of a proof tree, as it will be explained
+later. The basic command to build a proof tree is \verb|\prftree|.
+
+For example, the proof of $A \supset \neg\neg A$ in natural deduction
+is:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \prftree[r]{$\scriptstyle\supset\mathrm{I}$}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\scriptstyle\supset\mathrm{I}$}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\scriptstyle\supset\mathrm{E}$}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+\end{displaymath}
+This proof is generated by the following \LaTeX{} code:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \prftree[r]{$\scriptstyle\supset\mathrm{I}$}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\scriptstyle\supset\mathrm{I}$}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\scriptstyle\supset\mathrm{E}$}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+In general, the syntax of the \verb|\prftree| command is:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \verb|\prftree|[\mbox{options}] \cdots
+ [\mbox{options}]\{\mbox{assumption}_1\} \cdots
+ \{\mbox{assumption}_n\}\{\mbox{conclusion}\}
+\end{displaymath}
+Assumptions are optional and there may be any number of them. Each
+assumption may contain a proof tree, which is typeset independently:
+the order allows to use indentation to help reading the source. The
+conclusion is mandatory, and it is supposed to be a
+formula.
+
+Assumptions and the conclusion are typeset in a display style math
+environment. Options control the way the proof is generated: in the
+example, the \verb|r| option has been used to signal that the first
+argument of \verb|\prftree| is the name of the inference rule.
+
+The available options are:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item\ [\textbf{r}], [\textbf{rule}], [\textbf{by rule}],
+ [\textbf{by}], [\textbf{right}]: the first argument after the
+ options is the rule name, which is typeset in text mode;
+\item\ [\textbf{l}], [\textbf{left}], [\textbf{label}]: the first
+ argument after the options is the label of the rule, which is
+ typeset in text mode. If a rule name is present, the first argument
+ is the rule name, and the second one is the label;
+\item\ [\textbf{straight}], [\textbf{straight line}],
+ [\textbf{straightline}]: makes the proof line solid;
+\item\ [\textbf{dotted}], [\textbf{dotted line}],
+ [\textbf{dottedline}]: makes the proof line dotted;
+\item\ [\textbf{dashed}], [\textbf{dashed line}],
+ [\textbf{dashedline}]: makes the proof line dashed;
+\item\ [\textbf{f}], [\textbf{fancy}], [\textbf{fancy line}],
+ [\textbf{fancyline}]: the proof line will be fancy;
+\item\ [\textbf{s}], [\textbf{single}], [\textbf{single line}],
+ [\textbf{singleline}]: makes the proof line single;
+\item\ [\textbf{d}], [\textbf{double}], [\textbf{double line}],
+ [\textbf{doubleline}]: makes the proof line double;
+\item\ [\textbf{noline}]: suppresses the proof line (prevails over all
+ other line options);
+\item\ [\textbf{summary}]: renders the proof line as the summary
+ symbol (prevails over all other line options except \textbf{noline}).
+\end{itemize}
+By default the proof line is straight and single. Options may be
+written in sequence, as in \verb|[r,f,d]|, which means that the proof
+tree will have a rule name, and the proof line will be fancy and
+double, or separately, as in \verb|[r][f][d]|, or even as a
+combination, like \verb|[r][f,d]|. Options are evaluated
+left-to-right, so \verb|[d,s]| is the same as \verb|[s]|, while
+\verb|[noline,straight,d]| is the same as \verb|[noline]|.
+
+The conjunction introduction rule illustrates the various line
+options:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{array}{lcc@{\qquad}l}
+ \mbox{default (single straight)} &
+ \prftree{A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \prftree[r]{$\scriptstyle\wedge\mathrm{I}$}
+ {A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \texttt{[straight]} \\
+ \mbox{double straight} &
+ \prftree[d]{A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \prftree[d,r]{$\scriptstyle\wedge\mathrm{I}$}
+ {A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \texttt{[double,straight]} \\
+ \mbox{single dotted} &
+ \prftree[dotted]{A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \prftree[dotted,r]{$\scriptstyle\wedge\mathrm{I}$}
+ {A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \texttt{[dotted]} \\
+ \mbox{double dotted} &
+ \prftree[dotted,d]{A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \prftree[dotted,d,r]{$\scriptstyle\wedge\mathrm{I}$}
+ {A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \texttt{[double,dotted]} \\
+ \mbox{single dashed} &
+ \prftree[dashed]{A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \prftree[dashed,r]{$\scriptstyle\wedge\mathrm{I}$}
+ {A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \texttt{[dashed]} \\
+ \mbox{double dashed} &
+ \prftree[dashed,d]{A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \prftree[dashed,d,r]{$\scriptstyle\wedge\mathrm{I}$}
+ {A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \texttt{[double,dashed]} \\
+ \mbox{single fancy} &
+ \prftree[f]{A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \prftree[f,r]{$\scriptstyle\wedge\mathrm{I}$}
+ {A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \texttt{[fancy]} \\
+ \mbox{double fancy} &
+ \prftree[f,d]{A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \prftree[f,d,r]{$\scriptstyle\wedge\mathrm{I}$}
+ {A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \texttt{[double,fancy]} \\
+ \mbox{noline} &
+ \prftree[noline]{A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \prftree[noline,r]{$\scriptstyle\wedge\mathrm{I}$}
+ {A}{B}{A \wedge B} &
+ \texttt{[noline]}
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+These examples are implemented in an array whose cells have the form
+\begin{center}
+ \verb|\prftree[|\emph{option}\verb|]{A}{B}{A \wedge B} &|
+ \verb|\prftree[|\emph{option}\verb|,r]{$\scriptstyle\wedge\mathrm{I}$}|
+\end{center}
+in which the option part is the one on the right of the
+picture.\vspace{1ex}
+
+An assumption is a special proof tree, built by the command:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \verb|\prfassumption|\{\text{formula}\}
+\end{displaymath}
+Similarly, a bounded assumption is produced by the command:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \verb|\prfboundedassumption|\{\text{formula}\}
+\end{displaymath}
+as in the previous example.
+
+Although it is possible to type assumptions directly as argument of
+\verb|\prftree|, it is better to use the commands above: as explained
+later, since a proof tree is a box with an internal structure, the
+assumption commands take care of building this structure
+appropriately, while the direct typing does not, which may produce
+unexpected results.\vspace{2ex}
+
+Similarly, axioms are produced by the commands
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \verb|\prfaxiom|\{\mbox{axiom}\}
+\end{displaymath}
+and
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \verb|\prfbyaxiom|\{\mbox{name}\}\{\mbox{axiom}\}
+\end{displaymath}
+For example, the axiom stating that equality is reflexive, is
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{array}{cc}
+ \prfaxiom{\forall x\, x = x} &
+ \prfbyaxiom{refl}{\forall x\, x = x}
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+and they are generated by the \LaTeX{} code
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{array}{l}
+ \verb|\prfaxiom{\forall x\, x = x}|\\
+ \verb|\prfbyaxiom{refl}{\forall x\, x = x}|
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}\vspace{-.2ex}
+
+Finally, a proof summary is used to summarise a proof. The
+corresponding command is:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \verb|\prfsummary|[\mbox{name}]\{\mbox{assumption}_1\} \cdots
+ \{\mbox{assumption}_n\}\{\mbox{conclusion}\}
+\end{displaymath}
+The name of the proof is optional, while the assumptions and the
+conclusion are treated as in \verb|\prftree|. When present, the proof
+name is typeset in text mode.
+
+For example, \verb|\prfsummary{\forall x\, x = x}| produces
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \prfsummary{\forall x\, x = x}
+\end{displaymath}
+while
+\verb|\prfsummary[name]{A(x)}{B(y)}{B(y) \wedge A(x)}|
+gives
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \prfsummary[name]{A(x)}{B(y)}{B(y) \wedge A(x)}
+\end{displaymath}\vspace{-.2ex}
+
+In general, a proof tree is a \TeX{} box containing all the pieces of
+the tree, with strict bounds: for example,
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \fbox{\prfsummary[name]{A(x)}{B(y)}{B(y) \wedge A(x)}}
+\end{displaymath}

+\section{Parameters}\label{sec:parameters}
+A number of parameters may be used to control the typesetting of proof
+trees. They may be changed globally or locally, following the usual
+scoping rules of \TeX{}. In this respect, remember that each
+assumption is typeset independently, so parameters may be changed on a
+sub-proof basis, as will be done in most examples.\vspace{2ex}
+
+There are various \TeX{} dimensions that influence how proofs are
+constructed:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item\ \verb|\prflinepadbefore| (default 0.3ex): the space between the
+ bottom line of assumptions and the proof line
+\item\ \verb|\prflinepadafter| (default 0.3ex): the space between the
+ proof line and the top of the conclusion;
+\item\ \verb|\prflineextra| (default 0.3em): the length which extends
+ on the left and on the right the proof line so that it is slightly
+ longer than the largest between the conclusion and the list of
+ (direct) assumptions;
+\item\ \verb|\prflinethickness| (default 0.12ex): the thickness of the
+ proof line;
+\item\ \verb|\prfemptylinethickness| (default 4 times the line
+ thickness): in the rare case when the line is empty, but there are
+ assumptions, this is the distance between the assumptions and the
+ conclusion;
+\item\ \verb|\prfrulenameskip| (default 0.2em): the space between the
+ proof line and the rule name;
+\item\ \verb|\prflabelskip| (default 0.2em): the space between the
+ proof label and the proof line;
+\item\ \verb|\prfinterspace| (default .8em): the space between two
+ subsequent assumptions in the assumption list;
+\item\ \verb|\prfdoublelineinterspace| (default 0.06ex): the space
+ between the two lines of a double line.
+\end{itemize}
+
+For example,
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \prflinepadafter=0ex
+ \prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+\end{displaymath}
+is typeset by
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \prflinepadafter=0ex
+ \prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Similarly, \verb|\prflineextra=-.4em| and \verb|\prfrulenameskip=.8em|
+produce:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ {\prflineextra=-.4em
+ \prfrulenameskip=.8em
+ \prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}}
+\end{displaymath}
+
+Also, \verb|\prflinethickness=3pt| and
+\verb|\prfdoublelineinterspace=2pt| in the upper sub-proof generate:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prflinethickness=3pt
+ \prfdoublelineinterspace=2pt
+ \prftree[r,d]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+\end{displaymath}
+The corresponding code is
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prflinethickness=3pt
+ \prfdoublelineinterspace=2pt
+ \prftree[r,d]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Line thickness does not affect dashed, dotted, and fancy lines, but
+interline space does: in the example,
+\verb|\prfdoublelineinterspace=4pt| on a fancy line produces
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prfdoublelineinterspace=4pt
+ \prftree[r,d,f]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+\end{displaymath}\vspace{.2ex}
+
+Fancy lines are drawn by the \verb|\prffancyline| command. This can be
+redefined: as a guideline, the package defines it as
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \def\prffancyline{\cleaders\hbox to .63em%
+ {\hss\raisebox{-.5ex}[.2ex][0pt]{$\sim$}\hss}\hfill}
+\end{verbatim}\vspace{2ex}
+
+Label spacing works exactly as rule name spacing. Actually, it is
+possible to have a proof with both a label and a rule name:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prflabelskip=.7em
+ \prftree[r,l]{$\supset$I}
+ {[\textsl{$\bot\mathrm{E}$ will not work here!}]}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+\end{displaymath}
+which has been typeset by
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prflabelskip=.7em
+ \prftree[r,l]{$\supset$I}
+ {[\textsl{$\bot\mathrm{E}$ will not work here!}]}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+\end{verbatim}\vspace{2ex}
+
+The \verb|\prfinterspace| controls the distance between
+assumptions. Specifically, this is the space between the \emph{boxes}
+containing two assumptions.
+
+Consider the following example
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A \rightarrow (B \rightarrow C)}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {B \rightarrow C}}
+ {\prftree
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A \rightarrow B}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {B}}
+ {C}}
+ {A \rightarrow C}}
+ {(A \rightarrow B) \rightarrow (A \rightarrow C)}}
+ {(A \rightarrow (B \rightarrow C)) \rightarrow ((A \rightarrow B)
+ \rightarrow (A \rightarrow C))}
+\end{displaymath}
+Although the assumptions in the top line are well spaced, the two
+sub-proofs on the top are too close. This can be corrected in two
+different ways: by putting an explicit space, via \verb|\hspace|, in
+front of the second sub-proof, or after the first
+sub-proof---remember, they are just boxes
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A \rightarrow (B \rightarrow C)}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {B \rightarrow C}\hspace{1.5em}}
+ {\prftree
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A \rightarrow B}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {B}}
+ {C}}
+ {A \rightarrow C}}
+ {(A \rightarrow B) \rightarrow (A \rightarrow C)}}
+ {(A \rightarrow (B \rightarrow C)) \rightarrow ((A \rightarrow B)
+ \rightarrow (A \rightarrow C))}
+\end{displaymath}
+otherwise, putting $\verb|\prfinterspace|=1.5\mathrm{em}$ before the
+sub-proof whose conclusion is $C$, one obtains the more pleasant
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prfinterspace=1.5em
+ \prftree
+ {\prftree
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A \rightarrow (B \rightarrow C)}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {B \rightarrow C}}
+ {\prftree
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A \rightarrow B}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{A}}
+ {B}}
+ {C}}
+ {A \rightarrow C}}
+ {(A \rightarrow B) \rightarrow (A \rightarrow C)}}
+ {(A \rightarrow (B \rightarrow C)) \rightarrow ((A \rightarrow B)
+ \rightarrow (A \rightarrow C))}
+\end{displaymath}\vspace{.2ex}
+
+The \verb|Strut| option of the package controls a subtle point about
+spacing around a proof line: assumptions and conclusion are usually
+typeset so that the height and the depth of their box is at least the
+one of \verb|\mathstrut|. In this way, adjacent proofs will have their
+proof lines aligned (well, whenever they don't have huge
+conclusions). But, as signalled by Dominic Hughes, sometimes one wants
+the height and the depth to be the ``real'' ones, especially when
+there are no characters/symbols with a positive depth: this forces the
+perceived space above and below the proof line to be exactly the
+values of \verb|\prflinepadbefore| and \verb|\prflinepadafter|. This
+behaviour can be achieved by calling the package with the \verb|STRUT|
+option. Alternatively, one may use the \verb|\prfSTRUToptionfalse|
+command to locally force this behaviour, and
+\verb|\prfSTRUToptiontrue| to return to the standard one. Similarly,
+the \verb|STRUTlabel| package option, together with the pair of
+commands \verb|\prfSTRUTlabeloptiontrue| and
+\verb|\prfSTRUTlabeloptionfalse|, operate on rule names and rule
+labels.\vspace{2ex}
+
+The rendering of bounded assumptions is modified by
+\verb|\prfboundedstyle|. When $\verb|\prfboundedstyle| = 0$, the
+format of the assumption is $[\mbox{formula}]$, which is the default
+behaviour; with $\verb|\prfboundedstyle| = 1$, the formula is
+cancelled by a horizontal line; with $\verb|\prfboundedstyle| > 1$,
+the custom \verb|\prfdiscargedassumption| command is invoked:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{array}{c@{\qquad}c@{\qquad}c}
+ \prfboundedassumption{A(x)} &
+ {\prfboundedstyle=1\prfboundedassumption{A(x)}} &
+ {\prfboundedstyle=2\prfboundedassumption{A(x)}}
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+
+The \verb|\prfdiscargedassumption| can be freely redefined. The
+package provides a reference implementation:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \def\prfdiscargedassumption#1{\left\langle{#1}\right\rangle}
+\end{verbatim}\vspace{2ex}
+
+Proof summaries are drawn according to \verb|\prfsummarystyle|. The
+default value is $0$, which produces a vertical dotted line. Setting
+$\verb|\prfsummarystyle| = 1$ produces a huge $\Pi$, while
+$\verb|\prfsummarystyle| = 2$ produces a $\prod$. The value $3$ uses a
+$\mathcal{D}$ as the derivation symbol. Values greater than $3$ force
+the summary to be rendered by the \verb|\prffancysummarybox| command.
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{array}{@{}c@{\quad}c@{\qquad}c@{\qquad}c@{}}
+ \verb|\prfsummarystyle| = 0 &
+ {\prfsummary{\forall x.\, x = x}} &
+ {\prfsummary{B(x)}{A(x)}} &
+ {\prfsummary[name]{A(y)}{D(x)}{B(x) \wedge C(x)}} \\[2ex]
+ \verb|\prfsummarystyle| = 1 &
+ {\prfsummarystyle1\prfsummary{\forall x.\, x = x}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle1\prfsummary{B(x)}{A(x)}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle1\prfsummary[name]{A(y)}{D(x)}{B(x) \wedge
+ C(x)}} \\[1ex]
+ \verb|\prfsummarystyle| = 2 &
+ {\prfsummarystyle2\prfsummary{\forall x.\, x = x}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle2\prfsummary{B(x)}{A(x)}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle2\prfsummary[name]{A(y)}{D(x)}{B(x) \wedge
+ C(x)}} \\[1ex]
+ \verb|\prfsummarystyle| = 3 &
+ {\prfsummarystyle3\prfsummary{\forall x.\, x = x}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle3\prfsummary{B(x)}{A(x)}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle3\prfsummary[name]{A(y)}{D(x)}{B(x) \wedge C(x)}}
+ \\[1ex]
+ \verb|\prfsummarystyle| = 4 &
+ {\prfsummarystyle4\prfsummary{\forall x.\, x = x}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle4\prfsummary{B(x)}{A(x)}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle4\prfsummary[name]{A(y)}{D(x)}{B(x) \wedge C(x)}}
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+
+The fancy summary box is composed by the \verb|\prffancysummarybox|

+\end{verbatim}\vspace{2ex}
+
+The assumptions, conclusions, labels, and rule names are drawn using
+the following commands, which may be redefined:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\def\prfConclusionBox#1{%
+ \hbox{$\displaystyle\begingroup#1\endgroup%
+\def\prfAssumptionBox#1{%
+ \hbox{$\displaystyle\begingroup#1\endgroup%
+ \ifprfSTRUToption\mathstrut\fi$}}

+ \ifprfSTRUTlabeloption\strut\fi}}
+\def\prfLabelBox#1{\hbox{\begingroup#1\endgroup%
+ \ifprfSTRUTlabeloption\strut\fi}}
+\end{verbatim}
+It is not advisable to change these commands in a radical way, unless
+one understands how the graphical engine works.

+\section{Labels and References}\label{sec:references}
+As discharged assumptions are often hard to track in a proof, the
+package provides a mechanism to label them and to reference them
+inside a proof tree. A reference is made up of three pieces: the
+\emph{label}, which is the name to denote the reference inside the
+text, the \emph{reference value}, which is the value denoted by the
+label, and the \emph{anchor}, which is the graphical rendering of the
+value aside the labelled point of the proof.
+
+For example,
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \prftree[r]{$\supset\mathrm{I}_{\prfref<assum:A>}$}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset\mathrm{I}_{\prfref<assum:not_A>}$}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption<assum:A>{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption<assum:not_A>{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+ \end{prfenv}
+\end{displaymath}
+is generated by the following code
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \prftree[r]{$\supset\mathrm{I}_{\prfref<assum:A>}$}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset\mathrm{I}_{\prfref<assum:not_A>}$}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption<assum:A>{A}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption<assum:not_A>{\neg A}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg A}}
+ {A \supset \neg\neg A}
+ \end{prfenv}
+\end{verbatim}
+The labels are \verb|assum:A| and \verb|assum:not_A|, the reference
+values are $1$ and $2$, respectively, and the anchors are these values
+on the discharged assumptions on the top of the proof. The references
+to these labels are the values in the rule names.\vspace{2ex}
+
+The \verb|prfenv| environment delimits the scope of labels: the
+\verb|\end{prfenv}| declaration makes the labels still available
+for reference, but numbering of new labels will restart from
+$1$. Enclosing a proof tree in a \verb|prfenv| environment is not
+mandatory: in such case, labels will be global to the
+document.\vspace{2ex}
+
+Sometimes, labels require two compilation steps to be correctly
+generated: in fact, as \LaTeX{} labels, forward references may be
+undefined in the first compilation step. The package issues a warning
+in this case, and display a \verb|??| for the invalid reference. Also,
+notice how the assumption reference mechanism is analogous to \LaTeX{}
+labels, but it is independent from it.\vspace{2ex}
+
+A reference to a label is made by the
+$\verb|\prfref|\langle\mathrm{label}\rangle$ command: its argument is
+a label, i.e., a string of text following the same rules as the
+argument of the \LaTeX{} \verb|\label| command. As in the \verb|\ref|
+command, the resulting value has no formatting.\vspace{2ex}
+
+A labelled assumption is generated by the following commands:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{array}{l}
+ \verb|\prfassumption|\langle[\mathrm{option}]\mathrm{label}\rangle
+ \{\mathrm{assumption}\}
+ \\
+ \verb|\prfboundedassumption|\langle[\mathrm{option}]
+ \mathrm{label}\rangle\{\mathrm{assumption}\}
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+The first one acts as \verb|\prfassumption| but also declares the
+assumption label and decorates the assumption text with the
+anchor. The second one does the same on bounded assumptions.
+
+The generation of labels is controlled by the option value:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{n}, \textbf{number}, \textbf{arabic}: generates a number
+ (default);
+\item \textbf{r}, \textbf{roman}: generates a lowercase roman number;
+\item \textbf{R}, \textbf{Roman}: generates an uppercase
+ roman number;
+\item \textbf{a}, \textbf{alph}, \textbf{alpha}, \textbf{alphabetic}:
+ produces a lowercase letter;
+\item \textbf{A}, \textbf{Alph}, \textbf{Alpha}, \textbf{Alphabetic}:
+ produces an uppercase letter;
+\item \textbf{f}, \textbf{s}, \textbf{function}, \textbf{symbol},
+ \textbf{function symbol}: produces a footnote symbol, as in
+ Section~C.8.4 of Lamport's, \textit{\LaTeX: A document preparation
+ system};
+\item \textbf{l}, \textbf{label}: tells that the label has not to be
+ defined. This is used to generate a labelled assumption sharing the
+ label with another one, which declares the value and the format.
+\end{itemize}
+
+Except for \textbf{l} and \textbf{label}, all the options are used to
+format the anchor following the standard \LaTeX{} way available for
+counters. No multiple options are allowed.
+
+For example, the disjunction elimination rule is a perfect way to
+illustrate the reason behind the \textbf{label} option, i.e., the need
+to discharge a pair of assumptions:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \prfinterspace=1.2em
+ \prftree[r]{$\vee\mathrm{E}_{\prfref<assum:orE>}$}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma}{A \vee B}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<assum:orE>{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[l]assum:orE>{B}}{C}}{C}
+ \end{prfenv}
+\end{displaymath}
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \prftree[r]{$\vee\mathrm{E}_{\prfref<assum:orE>}$}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma}{A \vee B}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<assum:orE>{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[l]assum:orE>{B}}{C}}{C}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+If a label is declared more than once, a warning is issued when the
+\textbf{label} option is not used: although this is not a mistake, it
+may indicate that a label is reused when it should not.
+
+The same example can be used to show how the other options work:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \renewcommand{\arraystretch}{6}
+ \begin{array}{@{}ccc@{}}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \prfinterspace=.6em

+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[n]assum:orEn>{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,

+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[l]assum:orER>{B}}{C}}
+ {C}
+ \end{prfenv} \\
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \prfinterspace=.6em
+ \prfsummarystyle=2
+ \prftree[r]{$\vee\mathrm{E}_{\prfref<assum:orEa>}$}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma}{A \vee B}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[a]assum:orEa>{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[l]assum:orEa>{B}}{C}}
+ {C}
+ \end{prfenv} &
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \prfinterspace=.6em
+ \prfsummarystyle=2
+ \prftree[r]{$\vee\mathrm{E}_{\prfref<assum:orEA>}$}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma}{A \vee B}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[A]assum:orEA>{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[l]assum:orEA>{B}}{C}}
+ {C}
+ \end{prfenv} &
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \prfinterspace=.6em
+ \prfsummarystyle=2
+ \prftree[r]{$\vee\mathrm{E}_{\prfref<assum:orEf>}$}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma}{A \vee B}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[f]assum:orEf>{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[l]assum:orEf>{B}}{C}}
+ {C}
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+
+Also, as the \verb|\prfboundedstyle| varies, the resulting proof trees
+are:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{array}{ccc}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \prfinterspace=.6em
+ \prfboundedstyle=0
+ \prfsummarystyle=4
+ \prftree[r]{$\vee\mathrm{E}_{\prfref<assum:AorE>}$}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma}{A \vee B}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<assum:AorE>{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[l]assum:AorE>{B}}{C}}
+ {C}
+ \end{prfenv} &
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \prfinterspace=.6em
+ \prfboundedstyle=1
+ \prfsummarystyle=4
+ \prftree[r]{$\vee\mathrm{E}_{\prfref<assum:BorE>}$}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma}{A \vee B}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<assum:BorE>{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[l]assum:BorE>{B}}{C}}
+ {C}
+ \end{prfenv} &
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \prfinterspace=.6em
+ \prfboundedstyle=2
+ \prfsummarystyle=4
+ \prftree[r]{$\vee\mathrm{E}_{\prfref<assum:CorE>}$}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma}{A \vee B}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<assum:CorE>{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[l]assum:CorE>{B}}{C}}
+ {C}
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+
+The \verb|prfassumptioncounter| is the \LaTeX{} counter used to
+generate the assumption values. It contains the last used value, and
+initially, it is set to $0$. By modifying its value, e.g., to
+\verb|\setcounter{prfassumptioncounter}{1}|,
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \setcounter{prfassumptioncounter}{1}
+ \prfsummarystyle=2
+ \prftree[r]{$\vee\mathrm{E}_{\prfref<assum:orEff>}$}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma}{A \vee B}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[f]assum:orEff>{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma,
+ \prfboundedassumption<[l]assum:orEff>{B}}{C}}
+ {C}
+ \end{prfenv}
+\end{displaymath}
+
+A labelled assumption box is graphically constructed by the package
+command \verb|\prflabelledassumptionbox| which can be redefined if
+needed. It takes two arguments: the assumption and the anchor. Its
+standard definition is
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \def\prflabelledassumptionbox#1#2{%
+ \setbox\prf@fancybox\hbox{${#1}$}%
+ \prf@tmp\wd\prf@fancybox%
+ \setbox\prf@fancybox\hbox{$\box\prf@fancybox^{#2}$}%
+ \wd\prf@fancybox\prf@tmp%
+ \prf@assumption{\box\prf@fancybox}}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Moreover, also a labelled and bounded assumption is graphically
+rendered by the same command. There is just one exception: when
+$\verb|\prfboundedstyle| > 1$. In fact, since that style is
+controlled by a command that can be redefined, the same must hold for
+references in that style. The command which is called in this case is
+\verb|\prflabelleddiscargedassumption| which can be redefined if
+needed; its standard definition in the package is
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \def\prflabelleddiscargedassumption#1#2{%
+ \prflabelledassumptionbox{\left\langle{#1}\right\rangle}{#2}}
+\end{verbatim}\vspace{2ex}
+
+Also proof summaries can be labelled and referenced. The syntax
+extends the \verb|\prfsummary| command:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \verb|\prfsummary|\langle[\mathrm{option}]\mathrm{label}\rangle
+ [\mathrm{name}]\{\mathrm{assumption}1\} \cdots
+ \{\mathrm{assumption}_n\}\{\mathrm{conclusion}\}
+\end{displaymath}
+The reference argument works in the same way as the corresponding one
+for assumptions, and the options are the same.
+
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \setcounter{prfsummarycounter}{0}
+ \begin{array}{c@{\qquad}c@{\qquad}c@{\qquad}c@{\qquad}c}
+ {\prfsummarystyle=0
+ \prfsummary<proof:a0>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<proof:a1>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=2
+ \prfsummary<proof:a2>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=3
+ \prfsummary<proof:a3>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=4
+ \prfsummary<proof:a4>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+
+These examples have been generated by the following code snippet:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ {\prfsummarystyle=X
+ \prfsummary<proof:aX>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The \verb|[option]| part of the label specification is optional, and
+it works exactly as the option field of labelled assumptions. This is
+best illustrated by an example:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \setcounter{prfsummarycounter}{0}
+ \begin{array}{cccc}
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[r]proof:b1>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[R]proof:b2>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[f]proof:b3>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[a]proof:b4>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} \\ &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[A]proof:b5>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b3>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+
+These examples have been generated by the following code snippet:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[r]proof:bX>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}
+\end{verbatim}
+and the last line uses the \verb|label| option.\vspace{2ex}
+
+The value of the summary labelling is controlled by the
+\verb|prfsummarycounter| counter, which is initially $0$ and contains
+the last used value.

+\section{Simplified Commands}\label{sec:simplified_commands}
+The basic commands illustrated so far allow to control proof trees in
+all aspects, but they tend to be verbose in practise. Thus, a number
+of abbreviations are provided to make handier the writing of proofs.
+Since they may collide with other packages, these macros are activated
+by suitable options. Multiple options can be used at the same time.
+
+\subsection{Natural deduction}
+By loading the package with the \verb|ND| option, the following
+abbreviations are available, which correspond to the inference rules
+of natural deduction calculi:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \verb|\NDA|: assumption;
+\item \verb|\NDAL|: labelled assumption;
+\item \verb|\NDD|: discharged assumption;
+\item \verb|\NDDL|: labelled discharged assumption;
+\item \verb|\NDP|: generic proof tree;
+\item \verb|\NDAX|: a generic axiom rule;
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\NDAX{x = x}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDANDI|: conjunction introduction
+ \begin{displaymath}

+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDOREL|, \verb|\NDORE|: disjunction elimination, possibly
+ labelled
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDOREL{ndorel:1}{\NDA{A \vee B}}
+ {\prfsummary{\NDDL{ndorel:1}{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\NDDL{[l]ndorel:1}{B}}{C}}{C}} \quad
+ \vcenter{\NDORE{\NDA{A \vee B}}{\prfsummary{\NDA{A}}{C}}
+ {\prfsummary{\NDA{B}}{C}}{C}}\enspace;
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDIMPIL|, \verb|\NDIMPI|: implication introduction,
+ possibly labelled
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDIMPIL{ndimpil:1}
+ {\prfsummary{\NDDL{ndimpil:1}{A}}{B}}
+ {A \rightarrow B}} \quad
+ \vcenter{\NDIMPI{\prfsummary{\NDA{A}}{B}}{A \rightarrow B}}
+ \enspace;
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDIMPE|: implication elimination
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDIMPE{\NDA{A \rightarrow B}}{\NDA{A}}{B}}\enspace;
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDNOTIL|, \verb|\NDNOTI|: negation introduction, possibly
+ labelled
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDNOTIL{ndnotil:1}
+ {\prfsummary{\NDDL{ndnotil:1}{A}}{\bot}}{\neg A}}\quad
+ \vcenter{\NDNOTI{\prfsummary{\NDA{A}}{\bot}}{\neg A}}\enspace;
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDNOTE|: negation elimination
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDNOTE{\NDA{\neg A}}{\NDA{A}}{\bot}}\enspace;
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDALLI|: universal quantifier introduction
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDALLI{\NDA{A}}{\forall x.\, A}}\enspace;
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDALLE|: universal quantifier elimination
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDALLE{\NDA{\forall x.\, A}}{A[t/x]}}\enspace;
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDEXI|: existential quantifier introduction
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDEXI{\NDA{A[t/x]}}{\exists x.\, A}}\enspace;
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDEXEL|, \verb|\NDEXE|: existential quantifier
+ elimination, possibly labelled
+ \begin{displaymath}

+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDTI|: truth introduction
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDTI{\top}}\enspace;
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDFE|: falsity elimination
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDFE{\NDA{\bot}}{A}}\enspace;
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\NDLEM|: law of Excluded Middle
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \vcenter{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}}\enspace.
+ \end{prfenv}
+ \end{displaymath}
+\end{itemize}
+
+The labels, when present, are the first argument, the rest being the
+assumptions and, finally, the conclusion. The rules do not have a
+fixed format, so extensions are allowed, e.g., on conjunction
+elimination or disjunction introduction.
+
+For example, the proof
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \NDOREL{simp:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{[l]simp:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\NDIMPIL{simp:notnotA}
+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{simp:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDDL{simp:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}
+ \end{prfenv}
+\end{displaymath}
+is typeset in abbreviated form by the following code
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \NDOREL{simp:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{[l]simp:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\NDIMPIL{simp:notnotA}
+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{simp:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDDL{simp:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}
+\end{verbatim}\vspace{2ex}
+
+\subsection{Sequents}
+Similarly, by loading the package with the \verb|SEQ| option, the
+following abbreviations are available, which roughly correspond to the
+inference rule of sequent calculi:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \verb|\SEQA|: assumption;
+\item \verb|\SEQD|: bounded assumption (not normally used, but handy
+ to have in case of fancy calculi);
+\item \verb|\SEQP|: generic proof;
+\item \verb|\SEQAX|: axiom rule
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQAX{A \Rightarrow A}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQLF|: left falsity
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQLF{\bot \Rightarrow {}}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQLW|, \verb|\SEQRW|: left and right weakening
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQLW{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}{A, \Gamma \Rightarrow
+ \Delta}}\quad
+ \vcenter{\SEQLW{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}{\Gamma \Rightarrow
+ \Delta, A}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQLC|, \verb|\SEQRC|: left and right contraction
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQLC{A, A, \Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}{A, \Gamma
+ \Rightarrow \Delta}}\quad
+ \vcenter{\SEQRC{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta, A, A}{\Gamma
+ \Rightarrow \Delta, A}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQLAND|, \verb|\SEQLANDL|, \verb|\SEQLANDR|: left
+ conjunction; the \verb|L| and \verb|R| variants specify which side
+ of the conjunction is introduced
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQLANDL{A, \Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}{A \wedge B, \Gamma
+ \Rightarrow \Delta}}\quad
+ \vcenter{\SEQLANDR{B, \Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}{A \wedge B, \Gamma
+ \Rightarrow \Delta}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQRAND|: right conjunction
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQRAND{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta, A}{\Gamma \Rightarrow
+ \Delta, B}{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta, A \wedge B}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQLOR|: left disjunction
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQLOR{A, \Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}{B, \Gamma
+ \Rightarrow \Delta}{A \vee B, \Gamma \Rightarrow
+ \Delta}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQROR|, \verb|\SEQRORL|, \verb|\SEQRORR|: right
+ disjunction; the \verb|R| and \verb|L| variants specify which side
+ of the disjunction is introduced
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQRORL{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta, A}{\Gamma \Rightarrow
+ \Delta, A \vee B}}\quad
+ \vcenter{\SEQRORR{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta, B}{\Gamma \Rightarrow
+ \Delta, A \vee B}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQLIMP|: left implication
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQLIMP{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta, A}{B, \Gamma
+ \Rightarrow \Delta}{A \rightarrow B, \Gamma \Rightarrow
+ \Delta}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQRIMP|: right implication
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQRIMP{A, \Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta, B}{\Gamma
+ \Rightarrow, \Delta, A \rightarrow B}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQLALL|: left universal quantification
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQLALL{A[t/x], \Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}{\forall x.\,
+ A, \Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQRALL|: right universal quantification
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQRALL{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta, A}{\Gamma \Rightarrow
+ \Delta, \forall x.\, A}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQLEX|: left existential quantification
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQLEX{A, \Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}{\exists x.\, A,
+ \Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQREX|: right existential quantification
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQREX{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta, A[t/x]}{\Gamma
+ \Rightarrow \Delta, \exists x.\, A}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\SEQCUT|: cut rule
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\SEQCUT{\Gamma \Rightarrow \Delta, A}{A, \Gamma'
+ \Rightarrow \Delta'}{\Gamma \Gamma' \Rightarrow \Delta
+ \Delta'}}\enspace.
+ \end{displaymath}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Equality}
+Invoking the \verb|EQ| option defines the following inference rules:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \verb|\EQREFL|: reflexivity
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\EQREFL{t = t}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\EQSYM|: symmetry
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\EQSYM{t = s}{s = t}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\EQTRANS|: transitivity
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\EQTRANS{t = s}{s = r}{t = r}}\enspace;
+ \end{displaymath}
+\item \verb|\EQSUBST|: the substitution rule
+ \begin{displaymath}
+ \vcenter{\EQSUBST{t = s}{A[t/x]}{A[s/x]}}\enspace.
+ \end{displaymath}
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Implication}
+Since the implication symbol is usually represented either as
+$\rightarrow$ or as $\supset$, the package allows to choose which
+representation to use. By default, implication is $\rightarrow$, but
+loading the package with the \verb|[IMP]| option switches to
+$\supset$. The same effect is obtained by the commands
+\verb|\prfIMPOptiontrue| (implication is $\supset$) and
+\verb|prfIMPOptionfalse| (implication is $\rightarrow$).
+
+\subsection{Martin-L{\"o}f Type Theory and Homotopy Type Theory}
+Invoking the package with the \verb|ML| option enables the support for
+these type theories. This part is derived from Roberta Bonacina's PhD
+dissertation, which used this package in an essential way to develop
+proof trees in Homotopy Type Theory.
+
+Enabling the option \verb|ML| defines a number of symbols which are
+useful to have. However, since they may conflict with other packages,
+they can be disabled invoking the option \verb|MLnodef|. These
+operators are
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \verb|\type|: the symbol $\type$ correctly spaced as a
+ mathematical binary operation;
+\item \verb|\universe|: the symbol for universes;
+\item \verb|\judgementaldef| and \verb|\propositionaldef|: the symbols
+ $\judgementaldef$ and $\propositionaldef$ spaced as mathematical
+ binary operations;
+\item \verb|\emptytype| ($\emptytype$), \verb|\unittype|
+ ($\unittype$), \verb|\booleantype| ($\booleantype$): these symbols
+ are ordinary operators typeset in mathematical boldface font;
+\item \verb|\context| ($\context$), \verb|\identitytype|
+ ($\identitytype$), \verb|\refl| ($\refl$), \verb|\axiomofchoice|
+ ($\axiomofchoice$), \verb|\accessibility| ($\accessibility$),
+ \verb|\ap| ($\ap$), \verb|\apd| ($\apd$), \verb|\basepoint|
+ ($\basepoint$), \verb|\biinv| ($\biinv$), \verb|\cardtype|
+ ($\cardtype$), \verb|\cocone| ($\cocone$), \verb|\cons| ($\cons$),
+ \verb|\contr| ($\contr$), \verb|\equivtype| ($\equivtype$),
+ \verb|\ext| ($\ext$), \verb|\fiber| ($\fiber$), \verb|\funext|
+ ($\funext$), \verb|\glue| ($\glue$), \verb|\happly| ($\happly$),
+ \verb|\hom| ($\hom$), \verb|\id| ($\id$), \verb|\idtoeqv|
+ ($\idtoeqv$), \verb|\im| ($\im$), \verb|\idtoiso| ($\idtoiso$),
+ \verb|\ind| ($\ind$), \verb|\inj| ($\inj$), \verb|\inl| ($\inl$),
+ \verb|\inr| ($\inr$), \verb|\iscontr| ($\iscontr$), \verb|\isequiv|
+ ($\isequiv$), \verb|\ishae| ($\ishae$), \verb|\isotoid|
+ ($\isotoid$), \verb|\isprop| ($\isprop$), \verb|\isset| ($\isset$),
+ \verb|\ker| ($\ker$), \verb|\LEM| ($\LEM$), \verb|\linv| ($\linv$),
+ \verb|\listtype| ($\listtype$), \verb|\loopcons| ($\loopcons$),
+ \verb|\Map| ($\Map$), \verb|\merid| ($\merid$), \verb|\nil|
+ ($\nil$), \verb|\ordtype| ($\ordtype$), \verb|\pair| ($\pair$),
+ \verb|\pred| ($\pred$), \verb|\pr| ($\pr$), \verb|\Prop| ($\Prop$),
+ \verb|\qinv| ($\qinv$), \verb|\rec| ($\rec$), \verb|\rinv|
+ ($\rinv$), \verb|\seg| ($\seg$), \verb|\Set| ($\Set$), \verb|\Succ|
+ ($\Succ$), \verb|\sup| ($\sup$), \verb|\total| ($\total$),
+ \verb|\transport| ($\transport$), \verb|\ua| ($\ua$), \verb|\Wtype|
+ ($\Wtype$), \verb|\transportconst| ($\transportconst$): these
+ symbols are ordinary operators, typeset in the mathematical
+ sans-serif font; their graphical appearance is in brackets.
+\end{itemize}
+
+The large number of inference rules is listed below: they cover the
+structural part of the theories, plus most of the usual inductive
+types, comprehending also some higher-order inductive types. To each
+rule is associated a rule name, which is available as a command: the
+convention is that the rule name is obtained appending \verb|rule| to
+the name of the inference rule. In general, the command to typeset a
+rule conforms to the standard name in the book \emph{Homotopy Type
+ Theory}. The name as typeset, is shown in brackets:

+\subsection{Defining new inference rules}
+Of course, the reader is encouraged to develop her own abbreviations
+starting from the provided ones. To this aim two commands are
+provided. They share the same syntax: \verb|\prfMakeInferenceRule| and
+\verb|\prfMakeInferenceRuleRef| take two arguments, the first one is
+the name of the command associated to the inference rule, and the
+second one is used to write the rule name. For example,
+\begin{center}
+ \verb|\prfMakeInferenceRule{NDANDI}{\mathord{\wedge}\textup{I}}|
+\end{center}
+is how the conjunction introduction rule is defined, and
+\begin{center}
+ \verb| \prfMakeInferenceRuleRef{NDOREL}{\mathord{\vee}\textup{E}}|
+\end{center}
+is how the disjunction elimination rule is defined. The rules
+generated by the \verb|Ref| variant use their first argument as the
+reference to the assumption(s) they discharge.
+
+\subsection{Stacking proofs and assumptions}
+Sometimes, a proof is too large to fit into the text width. Although
+some strategies could be implemented to compress it, see the next
+section, they fail in extreme cases. For example, the elimination rule
+for the circle in Homotopy type theories is:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash C \type \universe_i}
+ {\Gamma \vdash b \type C[\basepoint/x]}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type b =_{\loopcons}^{C} b}
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint)
+ \type C[p/x]}
+\end{displaymath}
+typeset by
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash C \type \universe_i}
+ {\Gamma \vdash b \type C[\basepoint/x]}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type b =_{\loopcons}^{C} b}
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint)
+ \type C[p/x]}
+\end{verbatim}
+It is clear that on an A5 paper, there is not enough space to write it
+down. In these cases, the package provides a way to \emph{stack} the
+premises of a rule, obtaining
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash C \type \universe_i}
+ {\Gamma \vdash b \type C[\basepoint/x]} }
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type b =_{\loopcons}^{C} b}
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1} }
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint)
+ \type C[p/x]}
+\end{displaymath}
+The corresponding \LaTeX{} code is
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash C \type \universe_i}
+ {\Gamma \vdash b \type C[\basepoint/x]}
+ }
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type b =_{\loopcons}^{C} b}
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1}
+ }
+ {\Gamma \vdash
+ \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint) \type C[p/x]}
+\end{verbatim}
+The command
+\verb|\prfStackPremises{|$a_1$\verb|}{|$\ldots$\verb|}{|$a_n$\verb|}|
+takes the arguments $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ and typeset them as a proof
+tree with no lines with $a_1$ on the top.
+
+Actually, stacking proofs is possible:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash \mathbb{S}^1 \type
+ \universe_i}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \basepoint \type \mathbb{S}^1}} }
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type \basepoint = \basepoint}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1}} }
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint)
+ \type C[p/x]}
+\end{displaymath}
+has been typeset by
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash \mathbb{S}^1 \type
+ \universe_i}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \basepoint \type \mathbb{S}^1}}
+ }
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type \basepoint = \basepoint}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1}}
+ }
+ {\Gamma \vdash
+ \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint) \type C[p/x]}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Since a stack is a proof tree, the parameters could be locally changed
+to control its appearance. For example
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\prfemptylinethickness20\prflinethickness
+ \prfStackPremises
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash C \type \universe_i}
+ {\Gamma \vdash b \type C[\basepoint/x]} }
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type b =_{\loopcons}^{C} b}
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1} }
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint)
+ \type C[p/x]}
+\end{displaymath}
+makes the lines in the left stack far apart.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\prfemptylinethickness20\prflinethickness
+ \prfStackPremises
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash C \type \universe_i}
+ {\Gamma \vdash b \type C[\basepoint/x]} }
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type b =_{\loopcons}^{C} b}
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1} }
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint)
+ \type C[p/x]}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Spacing in stacks of proofs is normally difficult to control: if
+really sophisticated formatting is needed, it is better to consider
+the following option:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\prfassumption{
+ \begin{array}{@{}c@{\quad}c@{}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash \mathbb{S}^1 \type
+ \universe_i}} &
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type \basepoint = \basepoint} \\
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \basepoint \type \mathbb{S}^1}} &
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1}
+ \end{array}}}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint)
+ \type C[p/x]}
+\end{displaymath}
+which uses the \verb|array| environment
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\prfassumption{
+ \begin{array}{@{}c@{\quad}c@{}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash \mathbb{S}^1 \type
+ \universe_i}} &
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type \basepoint = \basepoint} \\
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \basepoint \type \mathbb{S}^1}} &
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1}
+ \end{array}}}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint)
+ \type C[p/x]}
+\end{verbatim}
+or similar ones, using the multitude of packages to format tables. By
+the way, the obvious solution using stacks is
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash \mathbb{S}^1 \type
+ \universe_i}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \basepoint \type \mathbb{S}^1}} }
+ {\prfStackPremises
+ {\prfassumption
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type \basepoint = \basepoint}}
+ {\prfassumption
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1}} }
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint)
+ \type C[p/x]}
+\end{displaymath}
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \MLScomp
+ {\prfStackPremises{\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma, x \type \mathbb{S}^1 \vdash \mathbb{S}^1 \type
+ \universe_i}}
+ {\prfsummary{\Gamma\;\context}
+ {\Gamma \vdash \basepoint \type \mathbb{S}^1}} }
+ {\prfStackPremises{\prfassumption
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ell \type \basepoint = \basepoint}}
+ {\prfassumption
+ {\Gamma \vdash p \type \mathbb{S}^1}} }
+ {\Gamma \vdash \ind_{\mathbb{S}^1}(x.\, C, b, \ell, \basepoint)
+ \type C[p/x]}
+\end{verbatim}

+\section{Hints and Tricks}\label{sec:hints_and_tricks}
+This section shows a few hints and tricks to use the package at its
+best.\vspace{2ex}
+
+Consider the proof:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \NDOREL{a:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{a:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\NDIMPIL{a:notnotA}
+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{a:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}
+ \end{prfenv}
+\end{displaymath}
+the space between the axiom and the sub-proof of the positive case is
+visually much less than the space between the positive and the
+negative cases. Looking at boxes, the space is exactly the same, but
+the perception is that spacing is wrong.
+
+We can correct this perception in two distinct ways: by adding space
+between the axiom and the positive case; or, conversely, by moving the
+negative case closer to the positive one.
+
+The first strategy yields:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \NDOREL{a:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}\hspace{.8em}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\NDIMPIL{a:notnotA}
+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{[l]a:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}
+ \end{prfenv}
+\end{displaymath}
+and this effect is given by adding an appropriate \verb|\hspace| after
+the axiom, as in
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \NDOREL{a:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}\hspace{.4em}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\NDIMPIL{a:notnotA}
+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{[l]a:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Adding the same space in front of the positive case is equivalent.
+
+The second strategy yields:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{prfenv}
+ \NDOREL{a:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\hspace{-.4em}\NDIMPIL{a:notnotA}
+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{[l]a:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}
+ \end{prfenv}
+\end{displaymath}
+Again, this is obtained by adding a negative \verb|hspace| after the
+positive case, or, equivalently, before the negative one:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \NDOREL{a:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\hspace{-.8em}\NDIMPIL{a:notnotA}
+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{[l]a:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+In general, to make a wide proof \emph{compact}, one can appropriately
+add negative spaces in front of sub-proofs so to make them closer and
+letting them to overlap as boxes, but not visually, thus \emph{tiling}
+the space.\vspace{2ex}
+
+Since proof trees are boxes, it is easy to align them on need. For
+example the following proof tree, with the bounding box put in
+evidence
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \fbox{\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}
+\end{displaymath}
+can be used wherever a box may appear. In the flow of text, it will
+look like \fbox{\prfsummarystyle=1\prfsummary{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}, so
+that the conclusion is aligned with the baseline. This makes easier to
+align proof trees, as in
+\begin{center}
+ \fbox{\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary{f}{g}{f \wedge g}}\qquad
+ \fbox{$\begin{prfenv}
+ \NDOREL{a:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\hspace{-.4em}\NDIMPIL{a:notnotA}
+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{[l]a:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}
+ \end{prfenv}$}
+\end{center}
+since this is the natural way to put proofs side by side:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \fbox{\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary{f}{g}{f \wedge g}}\qquad
+ \fbox{$
+ \NDOREL{a:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\hspace{-.4em}\NDIMPIL{a:notnotA}
+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{[l]a:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}$}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+But, if really one has to include a proof tree in the flow of text, it
+is slightly better to vertically centre the box, as in
+\fbox{$\vcenter{\prfsummary{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}$}. This is obtained by
+\begin{verbatim}
+ $\vcenter{\prfsummary{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}$
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Of course, the result is not pleasant, because rows are far apart,
+which is unavoidable because of the height of the proof tree.
+
+The same principle applies also to arrays of proof trees:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{array}{lcccc}
+ \text{some text} &
+ \setcounter{prfsummarycounter}{0}
+ \setcounter{prfassumptioncounter}{0}
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b1>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b2>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b3>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b4>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+which has been typeset by
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \begin{array}{lcccc}
+ \text{some text} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b1>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b2>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b3>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ {\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b4>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}
+ \end{array}
+\end{verbatim}
+vertically aligns the cells to their baselines.
+
+On the contrary
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \begin{array}{lcccc}
+ \text{some text} &
+ \setcounter{prfsummarycounter}{0}
+ \setcounter{prfassumptioncounter}{0}
+ \vcenter{\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b1>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ \vcenter{\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b2>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &

+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b3>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ \vcenter{\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b4>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}
+ \end{array}
+\end{displaymath}
+is much better, and it is obtained by
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \begin{array}{lcccc}
+ \text{some text} &
+ \vcenter{\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b1>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ \vcenter{\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b2>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ \vcenter{\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b3>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}} &
+ \vcenter{\prfsummarystyle=1
+ \prfsummary<[l]proof:b4>{A}{B}{A \wedge B}}
+ \end{array}
+\end{verbatim}\vspace{2ex}
+
+The labelling of proof summaries is useful when a proof is very large
+and there is the need to split it. The strategy is to select some
+sub-proofs and to show them as summaries: instead of writing
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \setcounter{prfsummarycounter}{0}
+ \setcounter{prfassumptioncounter}{0}
+ \NDOREL{a:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\NDIMPIL{a:notnotA}
+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{[l]a:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDDL{[l]a:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}
+\end{displaymath}
+we may consider to define
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \setcounter{prfsummarycounter}{0}
+ \setcounter{prfassumptioncounter}{0}
+ \mbox{Let }
+ \left(\vcenter{\prfsummary<[f]s:abbrev>

+ {\NDFE{\NDIMPE{\NDDL{[l]s:notnotA}{\neg\neg A}}
+ {\NDAL{[l]s:notA}{\neg A}}{\bot}}{A}}
+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}}\right)
+\end{displaymath}
+allowing to abbreviate the whole proof as
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \NDOREL{s:notA}{\NDLEM{A \vee \neg A}}
+ {\NDIMPI{\NDDL{[l]s:notA}{A}}{\neg\neg A \supset A}}
+ {\hspace{-1em}\prfsummary<s:abbrev>

+ {\NDDL{[l]s:notA}{\neg A}}

+ {\neg\neg A \supset A}
+\end{displaymath}
+
+The corresponding \LaTeX{} code is

+\section{Fonts}\label{sec:fonts}
+The package works with any font. It uses the current math fonts for
+typesetting proofs, while it uses the current text font to typeset
+labels and rule names.
+
+Care has been taken to ensure that the various dimensions and
+parameters in Section~\ref{sec:parameters} are relative to the current
+font, that is, technically, they are expressed with units \texttt{ex}
+for vertical lengths, and \texttt{em} for horizontal lengths. Dashes
+are \TeX\ rules with thickness \verb|\prflinethickness|.
+
+For unknown reasons, the \texttt{fontenc} package modifies slightly
+the values for \texttt{ex} and \texttt{em}, thus the graphical
+appearance of proof trees may vary when comparing the results obtained
+by compiling with and without this package.
+
+In most cases, the graphical appearance of proofs is acceptable, even
+changing font and size. But using fonts whose body is particularly
+heavy, may result in proof lines which are too thin. In this case, the
+user of the package should increment the value of
+\verb|\prflinethickness|.
+
+The package, up to version 1.5, was designed to work with the Computer
+Modern family of fonts. It worked also with other fonts, without any
+major problem, but, as kindly signalled by D{\'e}mi Nollet at ENS Lyon
+and universit{\'e} Paris-Diderot, dashed and dotted lines do not
+behave correctly, as dashes overlap. Please, update to the latest
+version of the package if you plan to use fonts different from
+Computer Modern.
+
+% -------------------------------------
+\clearpage
+\section{Internals}\label{sec:internals}
+A proof tree is typeset as a \TeX{} box in horizontal mode. This means
+that wherever a character can stay, so does a proof: in principle,
+there is no need to put the proof in a math environment. Also, the
+width of a proof is exactly the width of the box; the height of the
+proof is the height of the conclusion plus the total height of all the
+matter above it; the depth of the proof is the depth of the
+conclusion. The proof is aligned so that the current baseline is the
+baseline of the conclusion.
+
+For example, the proof of $g \supset \neg\neg g$ in natural deduction
+is:
+\begin{displaymath}
+ \mbox{proof} \equiv
+ \fbox{\prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$I}
+ {\prftree[r]{$\supset$E}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{g}}
+ {\prfboundedassumption{\neg g}}
+ {\bot}}
+ {\neg\neg g}}
+ {g \supset \neg\neg g}}
+\end{displaymath}
+The proof has been surrounded by a framebox to make evident its
+bounds. Also, since the letter $g$ has a depth, the example shows how
+depth in the conclusion influences the alignment of the proof with
+respect to the preceding text.\vspace{2ex}
+
+Actually, the fundamental command in the package is \verb|\prftree|:
+the commands to construct assumptions (\verb|\prfassumption| and
+\verb|\prfboundedassumption|), those to generate axioms
+(\verb|\prfaxiom| and \verb|\prfbyaxiom|), and \verb|\prfsummary| are
+just appropriate instances.\vspace{2ex}
+
+The \verb|\prftree| command is composed by a parser, which takes care
+of reading the various options and parameters, and by a graphical
+engine, \verb|\prf@draw|, which calculates and draw the box containing
+the proof tree.
+
+It may be useful to understand how the graphical engine works. In the
+first place, each proof tree is a box with a structure:
+\begin{center}
+ {\setlength{\unitlength}{1em}
+ \begin{picture}(27,6)
+ \put(0.8,0){\framebox(26.2,6){}}
+ \put(5,4){\framebox(18,1.8){$\cdots$}}
+ \put(5.2,4.2){\framebox(6,1.4){$\mbox{assumption}_1$}}
+ \put(16.8,4.2){\framebox(6,1.4){$\mbox{assumption}_n$}}
+ \put(7,3){\line(1,0){14}}
+ \put(22,2.3){\framebox(4.8,1.4){rule name}}
+ \put(1,2.3){\framebox(4.8,1.4){label}}
+ \put(8.5,0.2){\framebox(11,1.8){conclusion}}
+ \end{picture}}
+\end{center}
+
+The conclusion, the proof line, and the \emph{assumption line} are
+centred. The assumption line is the line whose first element is the
+conclusion of the first assumption, and whose last element is the
+conclusion of the last assumption, properly spaced so that all the
+assumptions fit in between. The width of the proof line is calculated
+as the maximum of the width of the assumption line and the conclusion,
+with the rule name and the label, if present, hanging on the right and
+the left, respectively.
+
+To calculate the assumption line, the engine keeps track of the
+position of the conclusion within a proof tree, which reduces to
+remember how far is the conclusion from the left margin
+(\verb|Lassum|), and how far it is from the right margin
+(\verb|Rassum|). So, the assumption line starts from the value of
+\verb|Lassum| of the first assumption, and finishes at \verb|Rassum|
+of the last assumption.
+
+Thus, with these values it is not difficult to figure out the
+mathematics to place the various boxes around, so to combine them into
+a proof tree. This is exactly what the graphical engine does.
+
+Unfortunately, when one writes assumptions as simple formulae, without
+the \verb|\prfassumption| command, the corresponding \verb|Lassum| and
+\verb|Rassum| are not set to $0$, which is the right value. In fact,
+the recursive expansion of the \verb|\prf@draw| macro follows the
+\emph{natural} order in the construction of the proof box, which is
+extremely useful because it allows to locally modify parameters in
+sub-proofs; but this order conflicts with proper rendering of
+assumptions which are not proof trees.
+
+Also, the hints on how to put space between assumptions, see
+Section~\ref{sec:hints_and_tricks}, may have strange effects: if space
+is added in front of the first assumption or behind the last one, this
+space makes invalid the values of \verb|Lassum| and \verb|Rassum|,
+respectively, yielding hard to predict results.
+
+It is worth remarking that the mathematics of the graphical engine is
+sound, which means that zero or negative values for the various
+dimensions specified as parameters, or using \emph{bizarre} boxes in
+the fancy commands, yields the expected results, as far as boxes do
+not have parts which extends beyond the bounds.\vspace{2ex}
+
+The implementation of references mimics the implementation of
+\verb|\label| and \verb|\ref| in \LaTeX. Whenever a reference is
+defined, through a command with the $\langle \mathrm{label}\rangle$ as
+the first argument, the reference value is created according to the
+options, and it gets stored in the \texttt{.aux} file, by writing
+$\verb|\prfauxvalue|\{\mathrm{label}\}\{\mathrm{value}\}$ in the
+file. Then, when the source code will be recompiled, and the
+\texttt{.aux} file read, this command will be executed before any
+occurrence of a reference, which can be resolved.
+
+Most difficulties in the implementation of references lie in the way
+to construct the boxes to be used in the proof tree. But, the tricky
+part is the interaction with the \LaTeX{} and \TeX{} kernel for error
+reporting. A small hack has been introduced to force recompilation
+when the references in a proof change.

+\section{Future Features and Bugs}\label{sec:future_features}
+Essentially, all the features of Buss's package have been implemented
+but one: alignment of proofs according to the $\vdash$ (or equivalent)
+sign. While this feature is occasionally useful in the writing of
+sequent proofs, it requires some trickery in the graphical engine, so
+it has been postponed for the moment.\vspace{2ex}
+
+Moreover, automatic compact proofs have been analysed, but not
+implemented. A compact proof minimises the amount of space between
+subsequent assumptions, eventually making the upper trees to overlap
+as boxes, but not as typed text.
+
+The algorithm to obtain this result is not immediate: one should keep
+track of the left and right \emph{skylines} of a proof. Comparing the
+left skyline of an assumption with the right skyline of the next one,
+one can calculate what is the distance between the boxes so that the
+distance between the closest points in the skylines is exactly
+\verb|\prfinterspace|.
+
+It is not simple to code such an algorithm in \TeX{}, but the real
+difficulty is how to represent skylines and how to store them, since
+\TeX{} provides no abstract data structures. Hence, the implementation
+of this feature has been postponed to a remote future, or to the will
+of a real \TeX{} magician.\vspace{2ex}
+
+The abbreviated commands reflect their use by the author. It is quite
+possible that you want to define your own commands for inference rules
+of your interest. If you think they could be of general interest, send
+them by email to the author (see below) who will include them in a
+future release of the package, acknowledging your contribution.
+\vfill
+
+Although the package has been tested for a long time by now, it is
+possible that a few bugs are still present. To signal a bug, please,
+write an email to the author (see below), possibly attaching a sample
+document which exhibit the misbehaviour, to help tracking and fixing.
