<see> See
Used in an embedded index entry to hold preferred terms that make “See” references
in a generated index.
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.
