8.7 @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:

  1. The node name.
  2. The cross reference name (optional).
  3. The Info file name.

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.
