Jake> 1) What is the proper syntax? Hi Jake, see the four and five argument version in (Info-goto-node "(texinfo)xref") See xemacs-21.5\man\lispref\backups.texi for one correct example: idle time. ＠xref{Auto Save, Auto-Save, Auto-Saving: Protection Against Disasters, xemacs, The XEmacs User's Manual}, for information on and an incorrect one too :-): of the file with the ＠code{revert-buffer} command. ＠xref{Reverting, , Reverting a Buffer, xemacs, The XEmacs Lisp Reference Manual}. The fifth argument in the latter should also say "The XEmacs User's Manual" since it's referring to the xemacs file. Jake> 2) What is the proper way stylistically? See (Info-goto-node "(texinfo)Cross References") for the proper variant, be it for the beginning or end of a sentence, info-only, or parenthetical. Documentation spreads the word!
