+====== Abbreviations and Acronyms ======
+[[DokuWiki]] can mark abbreviations and acronyms (terminology) automatically. You can hover your mouse on an abbreviation to see a short explanation, shown as a tooltip. For example, if the mouse is positioned over "CMS" (which is included in the default acronyms list), the tooltip displays ''Content Management System''.

+Some preconfigured examples:
+  * BTW, FAQ, HTML, WYSIWYG, EOF
-[[DokuWiki]] can mark abbreviations and acronyms (terminology) automatically. If your browser supports the <acronym> tag, you can hover your mouse on an abbreviation to see a short explanation, shown as a [[#tooltip]].
+Note: only full words will be marked. Eg. an acronym that is used within a word will not result in a acronym tooltip. Example: CMS is an acronym, myCMS is not.
-Examples: HTML, RSS, XML, InsideRSSecret (does not count, as it's part of a longer word)
 ===== Configuration =====
-  * DokuWiki's standard abbreviations are stored in the ''conf/acronyms.conf'' file. You can add your own abbreviations by creating a ''conf/acronyms.local.conf'' file and placing your abbreviations
-  * The acronyms file has to be encoded in UTF-8 . National 8bit characters are not supported.
+  * DokuWiki's standard abbreviations are stored in the ''[[https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/blob/master/conf/acronyms.conf|conf/acronyms.conf]]'' file. You can add your own abbreviations by creating a ''conf/acronyms.local.conf'' file and placing your abbreviations
+  * The acronyms file has to be encoded in UTF-8.
+  * Because it is reserved to mark a comment line, a hash (''#'') needs to be escaped by a backslash (''\#'')
-===== Tooltip =====
+===== See also =====
-A tooltip is a kind of popup that appears when the mouse is positioned over a hotspot. DokuWiki creates a tooltip automatically for each keyword that is listed in the acronyms list. For example, if the mouse is positioned over ''XML'' (which is included in the default acronyms list), the tooltip displays ''Extensible Markup Language''.
