§ 4.199 - [term] Built-In

Mnemonic aid: term for capitalized TERM

If  acroclass.py  and  acrobase.txt  are present, this will expand the TERM or multiple TERMs in the content to HTML  <abbr>  tags if it, or they, are known. Once this is done, hovering the mouse pointer over the expanded term will produce a box with the expansion in it.

If  acroclass.py  and/or  acrobase.txt  are not present, this language element produces no change.

Note:You can use CSS to style the appearance of these expansions...

 abbr {border-bottom:red dashed;} 

...which would be included in the general CSS styles on a page where this is used.

You can also use the  astyle=STYLE  option to set a local style for the generated  <abbr>  tags.
