Cross reference
Cross-reference or reference for short is the reference in a text to another text passage. There are different ways to identify cross-references in printed texts; in computer documents they are often implemented using hyperlinks .
Cross references occur as:
- Internal reference, an indication of the same to the same text font work, such as a different page, a note or source draws attention, in the form of a foot or endnote , with "see" (abbreviation: s. , Also sa "see also") annotated or with “compare” (abbreviation: cf. ) or something similar
- Entry in glossaries and directories that enables specific passages or passages to be found in the reference text
-
Lexical (e.g. in reference works ) or bibliographic entry (e.g. in the register of a catalog ) in the following form:
- "See" link (also forwarding , engl. Redirect ) which is not to be used by a designation refers to the current designation
- Cross reference in the sense of a reference between two valid entries that refer to each other ( a → b and b → a )
- Associative reference that lists similar terms , generic and subordinate terms and, if necessary, hierarchizes them ("see also")
- Hyperlink in a hypertext
In normative texts, cross-references enable the binding reference to another legal regulation or a foreign legal system - in the latter case also called Renvoi (French for "referral").
