ਫਰਮਾ:Abbr

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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.

Please note: Do not use {{abbr}} or <abbr> to mark up material other than abbreviations or acronyms. Using it to generate tooltips elsewhere is a misuse of the underlying HTML and causes accessibility problems. 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:

3. IPA or i: Applies {{IPA}} to fix the International Phonetic Alphabet rendering on Windows XP.

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

Markup	Renders as
{{abbr|MSLP|Mean Sea Level Pressure}}	MSLP

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

Markup	Renders as
{{abbr|UK|United Kingdom|class=country-name|id=foobar}}	UK
