{{abbr}} is an abbreviation template. It works similarly to the HTML <abbr> or <acronym> tags.
Usage
{{abbr}} takes two unnamed parameters, in order:
- The short form, which shows as text on the page.
- The long form, which many web browsers show as a tooltip when a user Mouseover|hovers over the text.
Example
{{abbr
|MSLP
|Mean Sea Level Pressure
}}
appears as MSLP Mean Sea Level Pressure . When hovering over the text, Mean Sea Level Pressure will appear as a tooltip.
