HTMLSpanElement interface for this element.Example
<p>The <acronym title="World Wide Web">WWW</acronym> is only a component of the Internet.</p>
Default styling
Though the purpose of this tag is purely for the convenience of the author, its default styling varies from one browser to another:
- Some browsers, like Internet Explorer, do not style it differently than a
<span>element. - Opera, Firefox,chrome and some others add a dotted underline to the content of the element.
- A few browsers not only add a dotted underline, but also put it in small caps; to avoid this styling, adding something like
font-variant: nonein the CSS takes care of this case.
It is therefore strongly recommended that web authors do not totally rely on the default styling.
