`@inforef'
==========

   `@inforef' is used for cross references to Info files for which
there are no printed manuals.  Even in a printed manual, `@inforef'
generates a reference directing the user to look in an Info file.

   The command takes either two or three arguments, in the following
order:

  1. The node name.

  2. The cross reference name (optional).

  3. The Info file name.

Separate the arguments with commas, as with `@xref'.  Also, you must
terminate the reference with a comma or period after the `}', as you do
with `@xref'.

The template is:

     @inforef{NODE-NAME, CROSS-REFERENCE-NAME, INFO-FILE-NAME},

Thus,

     @inforef{Expert, Advanced Info commands, info},
     for more information.

produces

     *Note Advanced Info commands: (info)Expert,
     for more information.

and

     See Info file `info', node `Expert', for more information.

Similarly,

     @inforef{Expert, , info}, for more information.

produces

     *Note (info)Expert::, for more information.

and

     See Info file `info', node `Expert', for more information.

   The converse of `@inforef' is `@cite', which is used to refer to
printed works for which no Info form exists.  cite
