Description

SeeIE identifies a “See” 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 SeeIE should be formatted normally, with the “See also” indented below the term. There should be no other entries for this term.

SeeIE is usually expected to generate the text, “See.”

The Linkend attribute should point to the referenced IndexEntrys, which should be in the same Index. Online systems may use the link information to form a hypertext link.

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.
