Abbreviations

Using the <abbr> tag in HTML, you can denote an abbreviation or acronym. Using proper HTML markup for your abbreviations helps with the understanding of acronyms, spell checkers, text translators, and search engine indexing.

Items that are marked up with the <abbr> tag are styled with a dashed underline, a cursor with a question mark and whatever content is used in the title attribute is shown in a browser tooltip.
