Tag Minimization

The start-tag is required for this element. The end-tag is optional, if your SGML declaration allows minimization.

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.
