ACRONYM - Acronym
The ACRONYM element is used to markup
acronyms. The TITLE attribute
is useful in conjunction with ACRONYM to
give the long form of the acronym, allowing visual
browsers to provide the long form as a
"tooltip". Examples:
<ACRONYM TITLE="North Atlantic
Treaty Organization">NATO</ACRONYM>
<ACRONYM TITLE="radio detecting and
ranging">radar</ACRONYM> <ABBR TITLE="Federal Bureau of
Investigation">FBI</ABBR>
Unlike other kinds of abbreviations, acronyms are
pronounceable words, though in some cases the
pronunciation is strictly a presentation issue. For
example, "SQL" and "URL" are
pronounced as words by some people and pronounced
letter-by-letter by others. In such cases, authors should
use the ABBR element, possibly with a
style sheet rule specifying the pronunciation for aural
rendering.
