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 section @itemx).
