   Format: MarkdownItexChristian alerts me that the graphics in the Idea-section ([here](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/oriental#idea)) after "The first few orientals look as follows" does not display (or not anymore). Looking at the code of this page, one finds a baroque construction which is trying and failing to `!include` the page *[[oriental > Delta4]]* and its cousins. These pages, in turn, do display by themselves, but what they show is quite ill-formatted and the code which produces this unpleasant output is even more baroque and unreadable. Therefore, besides the technical issue of why the present code does not render, I think we should delete it even if it did or will render, and replace it by one single well-done tikzpicture. I can produce such a tikzpicture of the first few orientals, if necessary. But if anyone feels ambitious about this and/or already has available such a tikzpicture, please feel invited to edit it into *[[oriental]]*. <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/oriental/36">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/oriental/36">v36</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/oriental">current</a>

   Format: MarkdownItexI have now deleted the broken code and replaced it by working tikz-code, [here](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/oriental#Illustration). <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/oriental/37">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/oriental/37">v37</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/oriental">current</a>

   I have now deleted the broken code and replaced it by working tikz-code, here.

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks! I think the orientals picture appeared on several other pages causing rendering problems always, so this work can do extra good there also. [Kan Complex](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/Kan+complex) comes to mind, but there's posibly more, will report if I recall more.

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks for saying. So I have made a new `!include`-file ([here](https://nforum.ncatlab.org/discussion/14626/the-first-few-orientals/?Focus=99939#Comment_99939)) and will now replace the respective code with [[!include the first few orientals]] at *[[oriental]]* and at *[[Kan complex]]*
