## Description
A plugin to define acronyms in pages, posts and comments using `` or `<
abbr>` mark-up. Defined acronyms are underlined, and the definition appears as a
tool-tip if the cursor is placed over the acronym. The list of acronyms is managed
through an Admin interface.
This plugin is based on Chris Cox’s Acronyms-2, which was itself based on Joel Bennett’s
Acronym Replacer plugin (http://www.huddledmasses.org/), ported to Nucleus CMS by
Joel Pan as the NP_Acronym plugin and now ported back to WordPress.
## Screenshots

tooltip under the mouse cursor.

## Changelog
#### 1.0
* First version, basically just the Acronyms-2 plugin with some convenient features
added:
1. A shortcode for adding a glossary page to your site
2. Defined mark-up and an input box on the admin page for adding acronyms in bulk
3. An export function that can be used in conjunction with the bulk import to transfer
acronym collections from one site to another
4. When adding an acronym that is already in your collection, the acronym definition
textbox will be auto-filled with this previous definition so that you can decide
if you want to overwrite it or append the new acronym definition
5. A simple widget for adding acronyms to the collection quickly
