This has already been addressed. 🙂 > [@aschrijver](#): > > Is this indeed how the module works, and is the workflow I described the one to go for? If I understand you correctly, this is indeed how it works. Although from you description I am not sure what your end-goal is. Is the abbreviation gonna link to a separate dedicated post? In that case, use the auto-linkify theme. If you just want explanatory text when hoovering over the abbreviation (i.e. `` tag, use this theme. You can also combine them. > [@aschrijver](#): > > I am wondering, if a view of an abbreviation ‘balloon’ counts as a pageview on our account quotum? This is not clear, can you explain exactly how you think it will work? If the “ballon” is gonna be a link leading to your post that I guess yes it will count. Overall, I’d recommend simply to install the theme and try it out 😉 You’ll quickly see hot it works. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/add-abbr-tags-to-words-in-posts/88394)._
