Description

SeeAlsoIE identifies a “See also” cross-reference in an IndexEntry. IndexEntrys occur in an Index, not in the flow of the text. They are part of a formatted index, not markers for indexing.

Processing expectations

Formatted as a displayed block. IndexEntrys that include a SeeAlsoIE should be formatted normally, with the “See also” indented below the term.

SeeAlsoIE is usually expected to generate the text “See Also”.

The Linkends attribute should point other IndexEntrys in the same Index. Online systems may use them to form hypertext links.

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.
