8.2 Different Cross Reference Commands
There are four different cross reference commands:
@xref
- Used to start a sentence in the printed manual saying `See ...'
or an Info cross-reference saying ‘*Note name: node.’.
@ref
- Used within or, more often, at the end of a sentence; same as
@xref
for Info; produces just the reference in the printed
manual without a preceding `See'.
@pxref
- Used within parentheses to make a reference that suits both an Info
file and a printed book. Starts with a lower case `see' within the
printed manual. (‘p’ is for `parenthesis'.)
@inforef
- Used to make a reference to an Info file for which there is no printed
manual.
(The @cite
command is used to make references to books and
manuals for which there is no corresponding Info file and, therefore,
no node to which to point. See @cite
.)
