I'm having a few problems formatting my theory.

The Isabelle document preparation system merely presents your sources.
Only explicit antiquotations like @{term "x + y"} are printed again.

The 'notation' command allows you to write your sources in the way you
expect, but you have to do it yourself. (The document preparation system
manages to produce quite good results without even understanding the
structure of the theory sources.)

The sugar only affects things printed via embedded antiquotations such as
@{thm my_fact}. Regular source text really needs to be written the way it
should be typeset. So yes, you will have to replace {} by \<emptyset> in
the theory source, if you prefer that symbol over the other.

Ah, okay, thanks for the clarification.

Is there a reason you can think of, or a procedure I might use to
debug, for why importing LaTeXsugar and OptionalSugar appear not to
affect e.g. the printing of the emptyset? Or do I need to edit the
document, e.g. to use \<emptyset> instead of {}?

The only symbol for the empty set in Isabelle is "{}". Hence you can
only obtain the latex \emptyset via antiquotations, not in the sources.
However, you can modify Library/LaTeXsugar as follows:

Replace

syntax (latex output)
"_emptyset" :: "'a set" ("...")
translations
"_emptyset" <= "{}"

by

notation (latex)
"{}" ("\<emptyset>")

If you import LaTeXsugar into a theory, you may now use \<emptyset> in it.

We may modify LaTeXsugar for the next release accordingly.
