> Abbreviation (`<abbr>`) tag plugin for [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it) markdown parser.
__v1.+ requires `markdown-it` v4.+, see changelog.__
Markup is based on [php markdown extra](https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#abbr) definition, but without multiline support.
Markdown:
```
*[HTML]: Hyper Text Markup Language
*[W3C]: World Wide Web Consortium
The HTML specification
is maintained by the W3C.
```
HTML:
```html
<p>The <abbr title="Hyper Text Markup Language">HTML</abbr> specification
is maintained by the <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr>.</p>
```
## Install
node.js, browser:
```bash
npm install markdown-it-abbr --save
bower install markdown-it-abbr --save
```
## Use
```js
var md = require('markdown-it')()
.use(require('markdown-it-abbr'));
md.render(/*...*/) // see example above
```
_Differences in browser._ If you load script directly into the page, without
package system, module will add itself globally as `window.markdownitAbbr`.
