   Format: MarkdownItexThis entry is currently undecided as to whether "full subcategory" inclusion requires the functor to be an injection on objects. It begins by pointing to _[[subcategory]]_ which does require this, but before long it speaks about fully faitful functors being full subcategory inclusions. This will be confusing to newcomers. There should be at least some comments about invariance under equivalence of categories. Ah, now I see that at _[[subcategory]]_ there is such a discussion ([here](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/subcategory#VariantsInAccordWithThePrincipleOfEquivalence)). Hm, there is some room for cleaning-up here. <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/full+subcategory/10">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/full+subcategory/10">v10</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/full+subcategory">current</a>
