If we go to the Dictionary of the Spanish Language of the Royal Spanish Academy we find a curious definition of what an acronym is. Let’s see it…
1. m. Type of acronym that is pronounced like a word; p. e.g., o(object) v(olante) n(o) i(identified).
Inside the HTML we can denote text that are acronyms. To do this we use the tag ACRONYM.
Acronym
This tag has two attributes:
title
, which defines the text of the acronym
lang
, which identifies the language of the acronym text.
So we could have the following composition:
UFO
Or another more common composition 😉
WWW
And what is the result in the browser. Well, simple, it shows us a tooltip with the text of the acronym inside it. Ahh… and I forgot. FireFox and Opera they add some very cute little dots underneath.
