Using Abbreviations

Many times when you're writing something on your web page, you may be using lots of abbreviations and/or acronyms. However, not everyone might know what these stand for and while you can simply put the meaning of the abbreviations or acronyms in parenthesis next to the abbreviated letters, it might not look very good and makes your page looks kinda "cloggy", if you use too much abbreviations.

What you can do is to use the abbreviation element.
Here's the code:

<abbr title="Write the meaning of your abbreviations here">Write the abbreviated letters here</abbr>

Whatever abbreviated letters or acronyms you use will appear on your web page, then when someone hovers their mouse over these letters, the meaning of the acronyms will appear.
