 `@xref' with Two Arguments
 --------------------------
 
   With two arguments, the second is used as the name of the Info cross
 reference, while the first is still the name of the node to which the
 cross reference points.
 
 The template is like this:
 
      @xref{NODE-NAME, CROSS-REFERENCE-NAME}.
 
 For example,
 
      @xref{Electrical Effects, Lightning}.
 
 produces:
 
       Lightning Electrical Effects.
 
 and
 
      See Section 5.2 [Electrical Effects], page 57.
 
 (Note that in the preceding example the closing brace is followed by a
 period; and that the node name is printed, not the cross reference
 name.)
 
   You can write a clause after the cross reference, like this:
 
      @xref{Electrical Effects, Lightning}, for more info.
 
 which produces
       Lightning Electrical Effects, for more info.
 
 and
 
      See Section 5.2 [Electrical Effects], page 57, for more info.
 
 (Note that in the preceding example the closing brace is followed by a
 comma, and then by the clause, which is followed by a period.)
