Cross-reference

Cross-reference is called in the documentation being the reference in one text to another text. In printed texts, there are different ways to make them recognizable, in computer documents cross-references are often implemented by hyperlinks.

Cross-references to appear as:

• Internal reference, a reference which calls attention to a passage of the same font work, such as a different page, a note or source, in the form of a footnote or endnote, with " see" (abbreviation, see also sa " see also" ) annotated or " compare " (abbreviation cf ) or similar
• Entry in glossaries and directories, which allows locating specific points or passages in the reference text
• Lexical ( as in reference books ) or bibliographic entry ( for example, in a catalog register) the following form: " See" reference ( also forwarding, Eng. Redirect) that points from a non -to-use designation on the valid designation
• Cross -reference in the sense of a reference between two valid entries, each of which refers to each other ( a → b and b → a)
• Associative reference, the similar terms, upper and lower terms lists and possibly a hierarchy ( " see also" )

In normative texts cross-references enable the binding reference to any other statute or a foreign legal system - in the latter case also renvoi (French for " referral " ) called.
