<h3 class="section">8.2 Different Cross Reference Commands</h3>
<a name="index-Different-cross-reference-commands"></a>

<p>There are four different cross reference commands:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>@xref</code></dt>
<dd><p>Used to start a sentence in the printed manual and in HTML with
&lsquo;See&nbsp;&hellip;&rsquo;<!-- /@w --> or an Info cross reference saying &lsquo;<samp>*Note
<var>name</var>: <var>node</var>.</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@ref</code></dt>
<dd><p>Used within or, more often, at the end of a sentence; produces just
the reference in the printed manual and in HTML without the preceding
&lsquo;See&rsquo; (same as <code>@xref</code> for Info).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@pxref</code></dt>
<dd><p>Used within parentheses, at the end of a sentence, or otherwise before
punctuation, to make a reference.  Its output starts with a lowercase
&lsquo;see&rsquo; in the printed manual and in HTML, and a lowercase &lsquo;<samp>*note</samp>&rsquo;
in Info.  (&lsquo;<samp>p</samp>&rsquo; is for &lsquo;parenthesis&rsquo;.)
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>@inforef</code></dt>
<dd><p>Used to make a reference to an Info file for which there is no printed
manual.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>The <code>@cite</code> 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 <a href="_0040cite.html#g_t_0040cite"><tt>@cite</tt></a>.
</p>
