Description

GlossSeeAlso directs the reader to another GlossEntry for additional information. It is presented in addition to the GlossDef.

Processing expectations

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

GlossSeeAlso elements are expected to generate the necessary cross-reference text, usually “See also” 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 glossseealso: glossdef.

Attributes

otherterm

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