<span id="index-Grouping-two-definitions-together"></span>
<span id="index-Definitions-grouped-together"></span>
<p>To create two or more ‘first’ or header lines for a definition, follow
the first <code>@deffn</code> line by a line beginning with
<code>@deffnx</code>. The <code>@deffnx</code> command works exactly like
<code>@deffn</code> except that it does not generate extra vertical white
space between it and the preceding line.
</p>
<p>For example,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@deffn {Interactive Command} isearch-forward
@deffnx {Interactive Command} isearch-backward
These two search commands are similar except …
@end deffn
</pre></div>
<p>produces
</p>
<dl>
<dt id="index-isearch_002dforward">Interactive Command: <strong>isearch-forward</strong></dt>
<dt id="index-isearch_002dbackward">Interactive Command: <strong>isearch-backward</strong></dt>
<dd><p>These two search commands are similar except …
</p></dd></dl>

<span id="index-defvrx"></span>
<p>Each definition command has an ‘x’ form: <code>@defunx</code>,
<code>@defvrx</code>, <code>@deftypefunx</code>, etc.
</p>
<p>The ‘x’ forms work similarly to <code>@itemx</code>
(see <a href="_0040itemx.html"><code>@itemx</code></a>).
