{{abbr}} is used to define an abbreviation or acronym by creating a tooltip that is displayed on mouse-over. The template uses the HTML <abbr> element and is supported by most browsers.
Usage
{{abbr}} takes two unnamed parameters, in order:
- short form: shows as text
- long form: shows as the tooltip
Named parameters:
- IPA or i: Applies {{IPA}} to fix strings in the International Phonetic Alphabet rendered in Internet Explorer on Windows XP.
- unicode or u: applies {{unicode}} to fix strings in Unicode rendered in Internet Explorer on Windows XP.
- class: adds an HTML class
- id: adds an HTML id
Examples
