the SEE ALSO section
In most cases, the SEE ALSO section only contains cross references to other
manual pages. Use one
Xr
macro for each
reference, providing the name and the section number of the target page as
arguments. Sort the manual page references first numerically by section, then
alphabetically by name. Separate the references by commas, putting one comma
as a final, third argument after each reference but the last one. Do not put
punctuation after the last reference, and do not use display macros or line
break macros.
List additional resources, for example web sites or books, after the manual page
references. For books, journal articles, technical reports and similar printed
documents, use
Rs
bibliographic blocks, one
per document.
For each web site listed, use one
Lk
macro.
Usually each
Lk
macro only needs one
argument, the URI. In some cases, providing a second argument giving a name or
description of the website may be useful. In HTML output, that turns into a
proper hyperlink, but it may not look good on the terminal with some
formatters, so if there is a natural way to use the one argument form, that
may be preferable.
