<see> See (in an index term)

Used only within an embedded index term (<index-term>) to hold preferred terms that make “See” references when an Index is generated.

Usage/Remarks

Best Practice

The primary (useful) content of a <see> element is one or more <index-term> elements to which the user is being directed. Thus a typical embedded See reference would contain only an <index-term>, with words such as “See” (or similar) generated by a display application. Many other elements are allowed within a <see> element for those rare cases where additional narrative explanation of the index-term is provided.
