Textpattern Help
HTML allows authors to define acronyms via the tag. The definition appears as a tool tip when a cursor hovers over the acronym. A crucial aid to clear writing, this should be used at least once for each acronym in documents where they appear.
To quickly define an acronym in Textile, place the full text in (parentheses) immediately following the acronym.
Example:
ACLU(American Civil Liberties Union)
Will become:
<acronym title="American Civil Liberties Union">ACLU</acronym>
Which, when displayed in a browser, will look like this (move your cursor over the text):
ACLU
NB: Textile automatically wraps a string of three or more capital letters in the <acronym> tag, even if it has no definition.
