Acronym Extension

The acronym extension provides a convenient way to defined acronyms that may be used throughout all documentation pages. On each page the full text and acronym definition will be displayed the first time it is used, as shown in Example 1.

note

When viewing on the website a tooltip is created for the acronyms, the full name will appear when the mouse is placed over the acronym.

Example 1: Example use of acronyms.

Configuration

The available configuration options for the acronym extension are provided in Table 2.

Table 2: Available configuration options for the AcronymExtension object.

Key	Default	Description
active	True	Toggle for disabling the extension. This only changes the initial active state, use setActive to control at runtime.
acronyms	{}	Complete dict (or dict of dict) of acronyms.

The acronyms are defined in the configuration (e.g., config.yml) as a dictionary of items under the "acronyms" configuration item.


Extensions:
    acronym:
        type: MooseDocs.extensions.acronym
        acronyms:
            INL: Idaho National Laboratory
            INEL: Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
            INEEL: Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory

Additionally, multiple dictionaries may be used to allow items to be pulled from multiple sources. For example, to use the acronyms defined within the framework as well as define additional items, the following may be done.


Extensions:
    acronym:
        type: MooseDocs.extensions.acronym
        acronyms:
            framework: !include ${MOOSE_DIR}/framework/doc/acronyms.yml
