Description:
The HTML abbr element contains abbreviated text and is commonly used together with the "title" attribute to expand/explain the abbreviation. Visual browsers usually render the content of the "title" attibute as a "tool tip" (when the user puts the mouse pointer over the element for a small period of time). But in this case, you mustn not forget that the "title" attribute provides the expansion/explanation of the abbreviation.
Examples:
| Code | View |
|---|---|
| <abbr title="abbreviation">Abbr.</abbr> | Abbr. |
| <abbr title="Incorporated">Inc.</abbr> | Inc. |
| <abbr title="information">info.</abbr> | info. |
