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 section @cite{reference}.)
