Sjabloondokumentasie[sien] [wysig] [geskiedenis] [wis kasgeheue]

For inline cleanup templates requesting definitions or explanations, see {{Definition}} and {{Elucidate}}.

The template {{Abbr}} is used to write an abbreviation with its meaning. It is a wrapper for the HTML element <abbr>...</abbr>, the element used by most web browsers to create a tooltip indicating the meaning of an abbreviation or acronym.

Sjabloon:Strong See the code of Template:Glossary link internal for an example of how to implement similar functionality without abusing markup.

Usage

The template {{abbr}} takes two unnamed parameters, in order:

1. abbreviation, the abbreviation; shows as text.
2. meaning, the meaning; shows as the tooltip.

A third unnamed parameter accepts the following values: Sjabloon:Ordered list

Named parameters:

class

Adds a CSS class.

id

Adds a HTML id; this must be unique on the entire page.

style

Adds a style attribute.

Examples

When hovering over the text "MSLP", something like Sjabloon:Titlehint will appear as a tooltip in most browsers. Popular screen readers, used by visually impaired readers, give the meaning in a different way.
