   Format: MarkdownItexI did some cleanup at [[pasting law]]: * I find itex-style commutative diagrams very hard to read if the objects are not present, so I named the objects. * I generally find it execrable to name anything with the letter $O$, and the notation in the related propositions was unnecessarily heavy, so I changed it to match the notation in the main proposition. * The boldfaced "labels" of the propositions were confusing because they were in the proposition environments but were not part of the proposition statements (I think this was an accident due to multiple editors), so I replaced them by non-bolded informal discussion before the propositions. * I made the bullet lists into paragraphs, which I think read better when all the items are short. In general, note that bullet lists should not be started with `* *` as that produces two bullets at the beginning of the line. I would also like to rename this page to [[pasting law for pullbacks]]. I know that it's about pushouts too, but that's a simple dualization and we have redirects. The name "pasting law" seems overly general to me; I can imagine many different "laws" regarding many different kinds of "pasting".

   I did some cleanup at pasting law:

   • I find itex-style commutative diagrams very hard to read if the objects are not present, so I named the objects.
   • I generally find it execrable to name anything with the letter $O$, and the notation in the related propositions was unnecessarily heavy, so I changed it to match the notation in the main proposition.
   • The boldfaced “labels” of the propositions were confusing because they were in the proposition environments but were not part of the proposition statements (I think this was an accident due to multiple editors), so I replaced them by non-bolded informal discussion before the propositions.
   • I made the bullet lists into paragraphs, which I think read better when all the items are short. In general, note that bullet lists should not be started with * * as that produces two bullets at the beginning of the line.

   I would also like to rename this page to pasting law for pullbacks. I know that it’s about pushouts too, but that’s a simple dualization and we have redirects. The name “pasting law” seems overly general to me; I can imagine many different “laws” regarding many different kinds of “pasting”.
