Description

GlossSee directs the reader to another GlossEntry instead of this one. A “See” cross-reference occurs in place of the definition.

Processing Expectations

Formatted as a displayed block, in the same style as a GlossDef.

GlossSee elements are expected to generate the necessary cross-reference text, usually “See” in English, as well as any necessary punctuation.

Future Changes

The InterfaceDefinition element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available in the content model of this element.

Parents

These elements contain glosssee: glossentry.

Attributes

otherterm

OtherTerm points to the GlossEntry being cross-referenced. (Go see that one.)
