+title: Abbreviations Extension
+
+Abbreviations
+=============
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+The Abbreviations extension adds the ability to define abbreviations.
+Specifically, any defined abbreviation is wrapped in an `<abbr>` tag.
+
+The Abbreviations extension is included in the standard Markdown library.
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+Abbreviations are defined using the syntax established in
+[PHP Markdown Extra][php].
+
+[php]: http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/#abbr
+
+Thus, the following text (taken from the above referenced PHP documentation):
+
+```md
+The HTML specification
+is maintained by the W3C.
+
+*[HTML]: Hyper Text Markup Language
+*[W3C]: World Wide Web Consortium
+```
+
+will be rendered as:
+
+```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>
+```
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+See [Extensions](index.md) for general extension usage, specify `markdown.extensions.abbr`
+as the name of the extension.
+
+This extension does not accept any special configuration options.
