Hello,
I support for the use of the <abbr> tag, and also support for some
limit of its usage, since it's quite useful.
Or, is some syntax like this
""text|abbreviation""
possible? By " I mean the quotation mark, not two apostrophes. So my
proposal is using two quotation mark on each side, total four of them,
to enwrap the text and the abbreviation.
It would be quite useful, not only for abbreviations, but also for
versions like zh-min-nan, when the alphabets need to be better
understood in hanzi.

Hi,
a few HTML tags work in Wikipedia article, but <abbr> doesn't. Is there
a Wikisyntax for abbr? If not, could <abbr> be enabled until there is?
regards,
Gerrit Holl.
There's no wikisyntax I can think of, but using abbr could make the
wikisource of some technical articles near-unreadable. (That is the
tag which provides a description on mouseover, right?) Perhaps we
could place in the Manual of Style only to use <abbr> for the first
instance of an abbreviation.
