Acronyms Plugin

Description

Back while I was using Nucleus, I adapted a Wordpress plugin by Joel Bennett to place nice <acronym> tags around acronyms. Now that I’m back on WordPress, I’ve ported my Nucleus plugin back to Wordpress to incorporate the minor feature tweaks that I made, as well as adding an admin interface to manage the set of acronyms. I belatedly found out that Joel Bennett had already done something similar and indeed made some very neat enhancements to his original plugin but I think that my version will still serve the needs of most users very well. It will enclose any acronyms (as set in the admin panel) with <acronym> tags, doing so with a case-sensitive replacement and ensuring that overlapping acronyms are not doubly-enclosed.

Installation instructions

  1. Download the zip file (link below)
  2. Extract acronyms.php
  3. Upload acronyms.php to your wp-content/plugins directory
  4. Log in to your WordPress blog
  5. Click on “Plugins”
  6. Locate the “Acronyms” plugin and click “Activate”
  7. Go to “Manage” > “Acronyms” and customise your list of acronyms.
