The <tt>abbr</tt> tag allows you to specify abbreviations with titles, which are usually displayed when you hover. The <tt>abbr</tt> and <tt>acronym</tt> tags are usually displayed the same in browsers, and you can use either depending on whether you want to display abbreviations, acronyms or just have extra information. This is an inline tag and no block level tags can be placed inside, however other inline tags can be if nested correctly. | |||
