- provide a tag to markup an acronym/abbreviation: when moused over, a tooltip will be displayed (using the 'title' html attribute) that provides the expansion of the acronym.
I'd suggest a template {{abbrev|aka|Also know as}} rendering to <abbr title="{{{1}}}">{{{2}}}</abbr>
thanks for the response. i like the above. however, this would require that the author specify the expansion with each mention of the acronym. that would discourage adoption/use... i would prefer that my extension pre-process the page and add the title tags based on a separate list maintained elsewhere (such as in the DB or in a flat file, or in another wiki page).
- additionally, if a glossary page is specified then the text is linked to the relevant section of that page. alternatively, if a page with the acronym as its title is present, the text is linked to that page.
honestly a much too technical solution for a problem the user can easily fix by typing the unknown word into the search box...
true...
do you know in-document linking yet? [[#section xxx]]
i have read about it, yes.
