# s.index-see-also

## Syntax

**s.index-see-also**

## Purpose

The s.index-see-also annotation is used to tag a span element as being a phrase in an index referring a user to another entry for additional information. In an index, *See also* is used to refer the reader to a related entry to give greater context or more complete information. This is generally done for terms that are not interchangeable but are connected in some manner (e.g. dolphins, *See also: whales*).

## Example

The following is an example of a time where you might want to use the s.index-see-also annotation:
