@inforef
@inforef
is used for cross references to Info files for which
there are no printed manuals. Even in a printed manual,
@inforef
generates a reference directing the user to look in
an Info file.
The command takes either two or three arguments, in the following order:
Separate the arguments with commas, as with @xref
. Also, you
must terminate the reference with a comma or period after the
`}', as you do with @xref
.
The template is:
@inforef{node-name, cross-reference-name, info-file-name},
Thus,
@inforef{Expert, Advanced Info commands, info}, for more information.
produces
*Note Advanced Info commands: (info)Expert, for more information.
and
See Info file `info', node `Expert', for more information.
Similarly,
@inforef{Expert, , info}, for more information.
produces
*Note (info)Expert::, for more information.
and
See Info file `info', node `Expert', for more information.
The converse of @inforef
is @cite
, which is used to
refer to printed works for which no Info form exists. See section @cite
{reference}.
