README

abbreviation-discourse-plugin

---

This plugin translates certain whitelisted words to a HTML <abbr> tag. Example: if you register the word IMHO with the title “In My Humble Opinion” it will be automatically translated as <abbr title="In My Humble Opinion">IMHO</abbr>

Features

---

• Create a list of abbreviations
• Configurable through admin settings
• Option to disable the plugin through the admin settings.

NOTE: It is required to type at least one space either before or after the acronym, so the plugin doesn't interfere with existing features of discourse.

Initial Configuration

---

Modify the variable abbreviations_plugin_list in the file settings.yml so it contains couples of abbreviation and meaning separated by a pipe (|). The abbreviation/acronym and its meaning must be separated by a colon (:) . Example:

ins:
breviations_plugin_enabled:
default: true
client: true
breviations_plugin_list:
default: IMHO:In My Honest Opinion|YMMV:Your Mileage May Vary|lol:Laughing Out Loud
client: true

You cannot use colons (:) or pipes (|) in the definition of your abbreviations.

You can keep adding more acronyms through the admin panel later on.
