တမ်းပလိတ်:Tooltip/doc

{{abbr}} is an abbreviation template. It works similarly to the HTML <abbr> or <acronym> tags.

Usage

{{abbr}} takes two unnamed parameters, in order:

1. The short form, which shows as text on the page.
2. The long form, which the short form is an abbreviation for.

Many web browsers show the long form as a tooltip when a user hovers over the text. However, this behavior is not guaranteed and should not be relied on.

There is an option for a third parameter: adding "unicode" (or "u") applies {{unicode}} to the text of parameter 1. This may resolve rendering issues with browsers which do not apply the proper font to the text. Other fonts/languages may be added to the code as needed. If the third parameter is not defined, it will be ignored.

Example with two parameters

{{abbr
 |MSLP
 |Mean Sea Level Pressure
}}

appears as MSLP. When hovering over the text, something like Mean Sea Level Pressure appears as a tooltip in many (but not all) browsers. Popular screen readers, used by visually impaired readers, display the long form in a different way.

Example with three parameters

{{abbr
 |pȅći • пе̏ћи
 |to say
 |unicode
}}

appears as pȅći • пе̏ћи. Compare pȅći • пе̏ћи without the Unicode formatting.
