   Format: MarkdownItexThanks. I have crossed-linked with [[TCFT]], which has been effectively our entry on topological strings.

   Format: MarkdownItexYes, if in the strict sense by "topological string" one means the A-model and the B-model only, which of course if what is usually meant.

   Format: MarkdownItexWikipedia article mentions closely related "topological M-theory" and also say > There are two main versions of topological string theory: the topological A-model and the topological B-model. suggesting (possibilty of?) some other (closely related?) variants. Maybe I am expecting too much... In any case, the nLab article should be a service for article readers, so that they learn what the words usually mean, hence it is good to distinguish from the wider context of TCFT.

   Sure, I agree. I have added a few more words to the Idea-section at topological string.

   Will create a stub for topological M-theory now.

   Format: MarkdownItexThank you for clarifying! You are such a good resource :) P.S. typo in the entry -- hyphen in B-branes link -- I am not correcting as there are some conventions with hyphen variants in page names which I am not competent with.
