The Abbreviation element

The Abbreviation <abbr> Element is used to indicate that the text is a shortened form of a longer word or phrase.

Listed below are the most common attributes you can use for abbreviation element:
  • class - provides the class or classes of the heading. This attribute is used to identify the name of the style class or classes to be used for rendering.
  • id - provides a unique name for the heading.
  • lang - provides the language in which the enclosed content is coded.
  • style - provides a cascading style sheet (CSS) properties to the heading.
  • title - privides a text title for the heading. Most web browser displays the value of the title as "tooltip".
Here's an example on how to use the abbreviation <abbr> element: 


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
         <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
         <mate name="keywords" content="blog, web development" />
         <title>the PARAGRAPH element</title>
     </head>

     <body>
       <h1>
         the ABBREVIATION element
       </h1>
       According to tradition, Rome was founded in 753
       <abbr title="Before the birth of Christ">
           B.C.
       </abbr>
   </body>
</html>

The result will be:
                             "According to tradition, Rome was founded in 753 B.C."
