The documentation https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/_0040pxref.html says:
The effect of `@pxref{node-name}` is similar to that of `see @ref{node-name}`. However, in many circumstance the latter is preferrable, as this makes it clear in the Info output that the word “see” should be present. This implies a recommendation against using `@pxref`, preferring `see @ref`. However, in https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/_0040ref.html you can find the following: The `@ref` command can tempt writers to express themselves in a manner that is suitable for a printed manual but looks awkward in the Info format. Bear in mind that your audience could be using both the printed and the Info format. This implies exactly the opposite. IMHO, the first quote should be improved, probably referring to the second quote if good formatting for the Info format is desired. Werner
