<h4 class="subsection">9.1.13 <code>@abbr</code>{<var>abbreviation</var>[, <var>meaning</var>]}</h4>
<p><a name="index-abbr-433"></a>
<a name="index-Abbreviations_002c-tagging-434"></a>You can use the <code>@abbr</code> command for general abbreviations. The
abbreviation is given as the single argument in braces, as in
‘<samp><span class="samp">@abbr{Comput.}</span></samp>’. As a matter of style, or for particular
abbreviations, you may prefer to omit periods, as in
‘<samp><span class="samp">@abbr{Mr} Stallman</span></samp>’.
<p><code>@abbr</code> accepts an optional second argument, intended to be used
for the meaning of the abbreviation.
<p>If the abbreviation ends with a lowercase letter and a period, and is
not at the end of a sentence, and has no second argument, remember to
use the <code>@.</code> command (see <a href="Not-Ending-a-Sentence.html#Not-Ending-a-Sentence">Not Ending a Sentence</a>) to get the correct spacing. However, you do not have to
use <code>@.</code> within the abbreviation itself; Texinfo automatically
assumes periods within the abbreviation do not end a sentence.
<p><a name="index-g_t_003cabbr_003e-and-_003cabbrev_003e-tags-435"></a>In TeX and in the Info output, the first argument is printed as-is;
if the second argument is present, it is printed in parentheses after
the abbreviation. In HTML and XML, the <code><abbr></code> tag is
used; in Docbook, the <code><abbrev></code> tag is used. For instance:
<pre class="example"> @abbr{Comput. J., Computer Journal}
</pre>
<p class="noindent">produces:
<pre class="display"> <abbr title="Computer Journal">Comput. J.</abbr> (Computer Journal)
</pre>
<p>For abbreviations consisting of all capital letters, you may prefer to
use the <code>@acronym</code> command instead. See the next section for
more on the usage of these two commands.
