{{tl|abbr}} is an '''abbreviation''' template. It works similarly to the [[HTML]] [[HTML element#General phrase elements|&lt;abbr>]] or [[HTML element#General phrase elements|&lt;acronym>]] tags.

== Usage ==

<nowiki>{{abbr}}</nowiki> takes two unnamed parameters, in order:
#The ''short form'', which shows as text on the page.
#The ''long form'', which the short form is an abbreviation for.

Many [[web browser]]s (such as [[Firefox]], [[Google Chrome]], [[Internet Explorer]], [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]], [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]]) show the long form as a [[tooltip]] when a user [[Mouseover|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 {{tl|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 ===

<pre>{{abbr
 |MSLP
 |Mean Sea Level Pressure
}}</pre>

appears as {{abbr|MSLP|Mean Sea Level Pressure}}. When hovering over the text, something like <span style="border: black 1px solid;padding:2px;background-color:#fffbe1;">Mean Sea Level Pressure</span> 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 ===

<pre>{{abbr
 |pȅći • пе̏ћи
 |to say
 |unicode
}}</pre>

appears as {{abbr|pȅći • пе̏ћи|to say|unicode}}. Compare {{abbr|pȅći • пе̏ћи|to say}} without the Unicode formatting. 

=== Accessibility concerns ===
This template is intended for use with abbreviations; it is not intended to be a tool for generating tooltips. The [[Web Content Accessibility Guidelines]] contain guidelines for using the <code><nowiki><abbr></nowiki></code> element generated by this template; see section [http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H28.html H28: Providing definitions for abbreviations by using the abbr and acronym elements].

== Redirects ==
The following template names [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] to this one:
*{{Tl|Explain}}
*{{Tl|Tooltip}}
