Replaces common acronyms with a dotted underline, description, and help cursor. See the "additional information" link for examples.

Requirements

EE v1.1

Example Usage

{exp:acronym}
{body}
{/exp:acronym}

Notes

1. Download the Acronym Plugin for EE and unzip it. The unzipped file is "pi.acronym.php".


2. Optional: Open up pi.acronym.php in a text editor and take a look at the list of acronyms. You can add some more if you want using the convention described in the file. However, there is a good list to start with so editing the file is optional.


3. Upload pi.acronyms.php to your EE plugins directory. It should show up in the Plugin Manager.


4. Add the following to your CSS template:
acronym { border-style: dashed; border-width: 0 0 1px 0; cursor: help; }


This will add the dotted underline and the help cursor over the acronyms.


5. Insert the two tags where you want the plugin to filter your text, such as for your entries or comments:

{exp:acronym}
{body}

{extended}
{
/exp:acronym}
