Template:Abbr
Template documentationThe template {{Abbr}} is used to write an abbreviation with its meaning. It is a front-end for the HTML element <abbr></abbr>, the element used by most web browsers to create a tooltip indicating the meaning of an abbreviation or acronym.
Usage
The template {{abbr}} takes two unnamed parameters, in order:
- abbreviation: The abbreviation; shows as text.
- meaning: The meaning; shows as the tooltip.
A third unnamed parameter accepts the following values:
- IPA or i: Applies {{IPA}} to fix the International Phonetic Alphabet rendering on Windows XP.
- Unicode or u: Applies {{unicode}} to fix Unicode rendering on Windows XP.
Named parameters:
- class: Adds a CSS class.
- id: Adds a HTML id; this must be unique on the entire page.
- style: Adds a style attribute.
Examples
| Markup | Renders as |
|---|---|
{{abbr|MSLP|Mean Sea Level Pressure}}
|
MSLP |
When hovering over the text "MSLP", something like Mean Sea Level Pressure will appear as a tooltip in most browsers. Popular screen readers, used by visually impaired readers, give the meaning in a different way.
