Define abbreviations and acronyms

HTML provides tags that let you define the abbreviations and acronyms you use in your page for search engines, spell checkers, language translation programs, or speech synthesizers. For example, you might want to specify that the abbreviation ME in your page stands for mechanical engineer, or the acronym WHO stands for World Health Organization.

  1. Select the abbreviation or acronym in the text of your page.
  2. Select Insert > HTML > Text Objects > Abbreviation, or Insert > HTML > Text Objects > Acronym.
  3. Enter the full text of the acronym or abbreviation.
  4. Enter the language, such as en for English, de for German, or it for Italian.
