Synopsis
<ABBR>...</ABBR>
End Tag: Required
The ABBR
element
provides an encapsulation and enumeration mechanism for abbreviations
that appear in the body text. For example, consider a web page that
includes your company’s address. At one point in the document,
the abbreviation IA is used for Iowa. A spelling checker, language
translation program, or speech synthesizer might choke on this
abbreviation; a search engine would not include the word
“Iowa” in its relevancy rating calculation. But by
turning the IA text into an ABBR element (and
assigning a TITLE attribute to it), you can
provide a full-text equivalent that a search engine (if so equipped)
can count; a text-to-speech program would read aloud the full state
name instead of some guttural gibberish. Like many elements new in
HTML 4.0, this one is intended to assist browser technologies that
may not yet be implemented but could find their way into products of
the future.
A related element, ACRONYM, offers the same
services for words that are acronyms. Both elements are part of a
larger group of what the HTML 4.0 recommendation calls
phrase elements.
Example
Ottumwa, <ABBR TITLE="Iowa">IA</ABBR> 55334<BR> <ABBR LANG="de" TITLE="und so weiter">usw.</ABBR>
