https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib4_docs/Mathlib/RingTheory/Localization/Defs.html#IsLocalization.ringHom_ext says "See note [partially-applied ext lemmas]"; how do I see the note?

Junyan Xu (Jun 06 2025 at 18:20):

The mathlib3 docs page is here but I don't know if mathlib4 has a corresponding page.
The mathlib3 file containing the note is this but the corresponding Lean 4 file doesn't contain a library note.

See also this previous discussion: #mathlib4 > library notes

Michael Rothgang (Jun 06 2025 at 18:23):

In short: I had a proposal for making the library notes display correctly, but got only lukewarm feedback (hence didn't pursue it further yet). I'm open to reviving my PR.

Michael Rothgang (Jun 06 2025 at 18:24):

There was also discussion about adding special syntax for references to library notes, but that part of the discussion didn't converge yet.

also, this particular note hasn't been ported, see #10968

Kenny Lau (Jun 06 2025 at 18:25):

so currently they are no-op?

Edward van de Meent (Jun 06 2025 at 18:25):

(if it were, you should be able to #help note "foo" and see the relevant note displayed in the infoview)

Eric Wieser (Jun 06 2025 at 19:16):

This particular note has a paper written about it :)

Edward van de Meent (Jun 06 2025 at 19:21):

it does?

Eric Wieser (Jun 06 2025 at 22:02):

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=7582702216007405636&hl=en&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5, I should probably upload to arxiv too

Robin Carlier (Jun 06 2025 at 22:06):

The ported note should include a link to the paper, once it’s on Arxiv.

Eric Wieser (Jun 06 2025 at 22:25):

The paper is on Zulip at chaining-extensionality.pdf in the meantime
