@abrambailey have you considered… the **abbrify words (with styling)** theme component? I’m using it to provide inline on-hover definitions on my site… you can se it in action here: [The Future of the Metaverse in Daily Life - Tech News and Tips - n👀bish.me](https://noobish.me/t/the-future-of-the-metaverse-in-daily-life/284)

> About This theme component is ported from [Auto-Linkify Words](https://meta.discourse.org/t/linkify-words-in-post/82193) to provide functionality similar to the [Abbreviations and acronyms plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/abbreviations-and-acronyms-plugin/38501) – namely to wrap various abbreviations used in a given forum/site/Discourse installation in \<abbr\> tags. Location [https://github.com/metabrainz/discourse-abbrify-words](https://github.com/metabrainz/discourse-abbrify-words)How to install Credits Thanks to @sam for writing the “Linkify words in post” plugin.

> I did a rough user stylesheet (CSS) to allow me see tooltips on mobile. It requires [Stylus](https://add0n.com/stylus.html) extension (I use Firefox on Android that supports extensions). This kind of stuff could be included in the plugin but I actually use it on all sites. abbr[title]:hover { border: 2px solid white; color: #333; background: #FF6; } abbr[title]:hover:after { content: " (" attr(title) ")"; }
