   Format: MarkdownItexWhat's the (infinity, 1)-categorical version of a representable functor? Because in certain models of type theory such as homotopy type theory I'd imagine the 'representable functors' to actually be $C \to \infty\mathrm{Grpd}$ or $C^\op \to \infty\mathrm{Grpd}$ rather than $C \to \mathrm{Set}$ and $C^\op \to \mathrm{Set}$

   Format: MarkdownItexI have streamlined some wording in this entry and added a bunch of further hyperlinks (such as to *[[term elimination]]*, etc.) I notice that a lot of entries (such as this one) are requesting links to *[[call-by-name]]* and/or to *[[call-by-value]]*, while these links remain broken.
