"xrefer's cross-referencing is unique, and takes full advantage of the Internet. We take the cross-references that compilers and editors have inserted and add another dimension to them. Whereas traditional cross-references are one dimensional in that they only link to other entries within that book, our network of links lead seamlessly from one topic in one source to related topics in a whole range of books.
