HTML:Element:acronym

From MDC


[edit] Summary

<acronym>...</acronym> (Acronym) element allows authors to clearly indicate a sequence of characters that compose an acronym or abbreviation for a word.

[edit] Example

I modified my <acronym title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language">XHTML</acronym> all night to make it validated by the 
<acronym title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</acronym>.

[edit] Result

I modified my XHTML all night to make it validated by the W3C.

[edit] Notes

The purpose of this tag is purely for the convenience of the author. However, Opera and Mozilla will add a dotted underline to the acronym when the page is rendered. Unlike the abbreviation element, the full meaning of an acronym is not displayed.
