   Format: MarkdownItex@Anyone - the flow of statements at [[Poincare lemma]] didn't make sense to me, so I popped a note in. I made a small correction to a typo (manifolds had changed names mysteriously).

   Format: MarkdownItexPhew, I hadn't been concentrating when typing. Thanks for catching this. Where it said "$H_{dR}^\bullet(X) = H_{dR}^\bullet(Y)$" is was supposed to say "$H_{dR}^\bullet(f_1^*) = H_{dR}^\bullet(f_2^*)$". Namely: if two cochain maps $f_1^*$ and $f_2^*$ are homotopic, then they induce the same maps in cohomology. Sorry. I have fixed it now. Any further typos? I need to call it quits now.

   Format: MarkdownItexI have expanded the Idea-section at _[[Poincare lemma]]_ a bit, mentioning also the complex-analytic version and the incarnation of the statement as the local quasi-iso $\mathbb{R}\to \Omega^\bullet_{dR}$ ($\mathbb{C}\to \Omega^\bullet_{hol}$). Wanted to do more, but am out of steam now.
