Dear all ...
I got fed up with manually typing in lots of acronyms
and abbreviations and thought it was about time I
automated it somewhat. Here's the result:
http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/acrobot/default.asp
Using this tool you can paste your raw HTML and it
will look up on a database and replace
- W3C
with
- <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr>
and so on ...
I'd like to get some feedback on the tool,
particularly any comments about what acronyms and
abbreviations are missing from the list. For info,
here's what is currently covered:
http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/acrobot/view-all-acronyms.asp
quote from that page: "Note: the abbreviations and
acronyms are weighted towards web technologies and
accessibility-related topics. This is not intended as
a full dictionary of acronyms and abbreviations - just
those that you will probably find yourself using most
often!"
I hope you find the tool useful. At some point, I will
convert this to a standalone tool that you can
download (to save having to go online each time) but
for the moment I'd like to get the online version
working AOK.
Regards
Ian Lloyd, Accessify
