## Description

This plugin should be used to supply abbreviation support in the TinyMCE visual 
editor. Once activated, it provides an “ABR” button which allows editor to indicate
the meaning of each abbreviation used in Pages, Posts or any custom post types used
in your WordPress installation. The markup is fully compatible with accessibility
rules like Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). It uses `<abbr>…</abbr>`
HTML markup instead of the deprecated `<acronym>…</acronym>` HTML markup.

**Available languages**

## Installation

English:
 1. Upload the plugin to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory 2. Activate
the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Use it in your WordPress visual
editor with the “ABR” button

## FAQ

### Why I cannot see any changes on my website front-end?

Your theme probably don’t provides any styles for the ABBR tag… You can check if
your ABBR tag is generated by “hovering” your ABBR expression with the mouse. Wait
1 second: a tooltip is supposed to appear. If you want some styles, you can put 
the following CSS in your theme (or wait for the next version of this plugin).
 
abbr{text-decoration:none;border-bottom:1px dotted;cursor:help;}

### What about adding language attribute?

If the abbreviation’s language is different from your page main language, you have
to indicate the language of your abbreviation to be fully compatible with accessibility
rules.
