   Format: MarkdownItexThey look good, thanks Urs. As for the article being a work in progress, I may just leave this article as-is. I would write about regularity of polytopes, but I don't understand the nLab definition and connotations of flags well enough to be able to effectively translate the definition of regularity into categorical language, and I am actually not particularly knowledgeable on regular abstract polytopes in the normal sense either. Maybe one day I will come back to this, but anyone is free to chip in if they have knowledge on this subject.
