+##
+## Return the distance between any two rows in @var{x}.
+##
+## @var{x} is the @var{n}x@var{d} matrix representing @var{q} row
+## vectors of size @var{d}.
+##
+## The output is a dissimilarity matrix formatted as a row vector
+## @var{y}, @math{(n-1)*n/2} long, where the distances are in
+## the order [(1, 2) (1, 3) @dots{} (2, 3) @dots{} (n-1, n)]. You can
+## use the @code{squareform} function to display the distances between
+## the vectors arranged into an @var{n}x@var{n} matrix.
+##
+## @code{metric} is an optional argument specifying how the distance is
+## computed. It can be any of the following ones, defaulting to
+## "euclidean", or a user defined function that takes two arguments
+## @var{x} and @var{y} plus any number of optional arguments,
+## where @var{x} is a row vector and and @var{y} is a matrix having the
+## same number of columns as @var{x}. @code{metric} returns a column
+## vector where row @var{i} is the distance between @var{x} and row
+## @var{i} of @var{y}. Any additional arguments after the @code{metric}
+## are passed as metric (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{metricarg1},
+## @var{metricarg2} @dots{}).
+##
+## Predefined distance functions are:
+##
+## @table @samp
+## @item "euclidean"
+## Euclidean distance (default).
+##
+## @item "seuclidean"
+## Standardized Euclidean distance. Each coordinate in the sum of
+## squares is inverse weighted by the sample variance of that
+## coordinate.
+##
+## @item "mahalanobis"
+## Mahalanobis distance: see the function mahalanobis.
+##
+## @item "cityblock"
+## City Block metric, aka Manhattan distance.
+##
+## @item "minkowski"
+## Minkowski metric. Accepts a numeric parameter @var{p}: for @var{p}=1
+## this is the same as the cityblock metric, with @var{p}=2 (default) it
+## is equal to the euclidean metric.
+##
+## @item "cosine"
+## One minus the cosine of the included angle between rows, seen as
+## vectors.
+##
+## @item "correlation"
+## One minus the sample correlation between points (treated as
+## sequences of values).
+##
+## @item "spearman"
+## One minus the sample Spearman's rank correlation between
+## observations, treated as sequences of values.
+##
+## @item "hamming"
+## Hamming distance: the quote of the number of coordinates that differ.
+##
+## @item "jaccard"
+## One minus the Jaccard coefficient, the quote of nonzero
+## coordinates that differ.
+##
+## @item "chebychev"
+## Chebychev distance: the maximum coordinate difference.
