A cross reference can be placed anywhere in the text, unlike a menu
item which must go at the front of a line. A cross reference looks
like a menu item except that it has *note
instead of *
.
It cannot be terminated by a )
, because )
's are
so often part of node names. If you wish to enclose a cross reference
in parentheses, terminate it with a period first. Here are two
examples of cross references pointers:
*Note details: commands. (See *note 3: Full Proof.)
These are just examples. The places they "lead to" do not really exist!
