16.4 Two or More `First' Lines

To create two or more `first' or header lines for a definition, follow the first @deffn line by a line beginning with @deffnx. The @deffnx command works exactly like @deffn except that it does not generate extra vertical white space between it and the preceding line.

For example,

     @deffn {Interactive Command} isearch-forward
     @deffnx {Interactive Command} isearch-backward
     These two search commands are similar except ...
     @end deffn

produces

— Interactive Command: isearch-forward
— Interactive Command: isearch-backward

These two search commands are similar except ...

Each definition command has an `x' form: @defunx, @defvrx, @deftypefunx, etc.

The `x' forms work similarly to @itemx (see itemx).
