Template:Abbr
(view - edit) Documentation
{{abbr}} is an abbreviation template.
Usage
{{abbr}} takes two unnamed parameters, in order:
- The short form, which shows as text on the page
- The long form, which the short form is an abbreviation for
There is an option for a third parameter: adding "unicode" (or "u") applies {{unicode}} to the text of parameter 1. This may resolve rendering issues with browsers which do not apply the proper font to the text. Other fonts/languages may be added to the code as needed. If the third parameter is not defined, it will be ignored.
The template also has two named parameters:
|class=|id=
which create the corresponding HTML attributes on the abbr element.
Examples
With two parameters
{{abbr|MSLP|Mean Sea Level Pressure}}
appears as MSLP. When hovering over the text, something like Mean Sea Level Pressure appears as a tooltip in many (but not all) browsers.
With three parameters
{{abbr|pȅći • пе̏ћи|to say|unicode}}
appears as Template:Unicode. Compare pȅći • пе̏ћи without the Unicode formatting.
With named parameters
{{abbr|UK|United Kingdom|class=country-name|id=foobar}} appears as UK.
