0.1.3.4. Automatic cross-referencing of your code

Your code may also be automatically cross-referenced; again, it's based on finding "interesting things" in your code; furthermore, it depends on distinguishing between "definitions" and "uses", because the main purpose of cross-referencing is to let you move quickly from a "use" (e.g., of a function) to its "definition".

APRIL91: Sometimes you would really like to be able to go from a definition to all of its uses. Perhaps this should be an option.

Cross-referencing is automatically OFF when producing LaTeX documents (we found it mainly cluttered) and ON when producing Info files (which lets you jump to the definitions through a node's menu).
