   Format: MarkdownItexI tried to impose some uniformity on the pages about various different kinds of monoidal 2-categories, listing them all at the top of [[monoidal 2-category]] and making their Idea sections all parallel. I also added some discussion of the microcosm principle (defining pseudomonoids in monoidal 2-categories of various sorts) to [[monoidal 2-category]] as well as [[compact closed 2-category]] and [[microcosm principle]].

   Format: MarkdownItexIt would be nice to also add to the pages [[monoidal category]] and so on that these can be internalized as various kinds of [[pseudomonoids]], but I'm out of time/energy for now.

   Format: MarkdownItexOk, I added some discussion of the monoidal/promonoidal issues at [[monoidal bicategory]], and added some links to [[pseudomonoid]] to the pages on the various kinds of monoidal categories (except for [[monoidal category]] itself, which is locked due to spam, but at least already contains one link to pseudomonoid). Along the way I noticed that [[star-autonomous category]] had no "Idea" section, so I gave it one.
