   Format: MarkdownItexAt [[localization]] we have : >A special class of localizations are _[[reflective localizations]]_, those where the functor $C \to L_W C$ has a [[full and faithful functor|full and faithful]] [[right adjoint]] $L_W C \hookrightarrow C$. Unfortunately $L_W C$ is not defined further up the page. Is $Q_W$ intended?

   At localization we have :

   A special class of localizations are reflective localizations, those where the functor has a full and faithful right adjoint .

   Format: MarkdownItex[four years later...] Generally, we don't have a nicely clean account of reflective localization on any one page. There are bits and pieces distributed over a whole lot of different pages (most of the technical details are in unlikely places, such as _[[reflective sub-(infinity,1)-category]]_, _[[geometric embedding]]_). I'd like to have a good account written up on some page. Also the textbooks accounts that I have seen are all not really good. Maybe I haven't seen the good ones...
