In-Depth Information
Similar to the
<abbr>
tag,
<acronym>
designates a word formed by
combining the initial letters of several words, as in the following
example:
<acronym>
<p>

from
<acronym>
STEPS
</acronym>

</p>
Only the
<abbr>
tag made it into HTML5;
<acronym>
has been removed due to redun-
dancy. You may still see it used but you should use the
<abbr>
tag instead. The following
code snippets demonstrate each of the logical style tags, and Figure 7.1 illustrates how
all the tags display.
