-	(i) the class of morphisms has to be closed under composition: where `f:C1->C2` and `g:C2->C3`, `g o f` is also a morphism of the category, which maps `C1->C3`.
+	(i) the class of morphisms has to be closed under composition: where f:C1->C2 and g:C2->C3, g o f is also a morphism of the category, which maps C1->C3.
 	(ii) composition of morphisms has to be associative
-	(iii) every element `E` of the category has to have an identity morphism 1E, which is such that for every morphism `f:C1->C2`: 1C2 o f = f = f o 1C1
+	(iii) every element E of the category has to have an identity morphism 1E, which is such that for every morphism f:C1->C2: 1C2 o f = f = f o 1C1
 
These parallel the constraints for monoids. Note that there can be multiple distinct morphisms between an element `E` and itself; they need not all be identity morphisms. Indeed from (iii) it follows that each element can have only a single identity morphism. -- 2.11.0
