It helps to make your website compliant to the [success criterion 3.1.4 of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/abbreviations.html). It is always appropriate to use the `abbr` element for any abbreviation, including acronyms and initialisms. This HTML element helps to make sure the abbreviation is understood by assistive technologies, by informing the user agent that the characters are an abbreviation, and by providing its meaning using the `title` attribute. This plugin adds a new `abr` format button in the formatting toolbar of the block editor. ## Screenshots [⌊Abbreviation format button in the block editor.⌉⌊Abbreviation format button in the block editor.⌉[ Abbreviation format button in the block editor.

Such a hidden gem. None of my SEO plugins have this feature, but now I can add this into sites that use a lot of acronyms. The next step for you guys is to add auto insertion of tag and title by creating a single acronym/title set and inserting it throughout a site.
