The Forum has been Updated
The code has been upgraded to the latest .NET core version. Please check instructions in the Community Announcements about migrating your account.
Well, started long time ago, but thanks to a brainwave this afternoon it's completed, and ready for public testing.
Screenshot in FireFox (top) & IE (below) and installation instructions.
Support ; as long as it's béta via this topic or via oxle, that's up to you.
When it's final, via Help: MOD Implementation, or via oxle, again up to you.
Update: Changed approach from Acronyms to Tooltips, as advised by Shaggy. Besides, rumours go that <acronym></acronym> will be dropped soon in the standards....
Syntax has changed too from [acr=* *][/acr] to the more logical [tip=* *] [/tip].<

Quick suggestion, Marcel, how about using the span tag instead of the acronym to save the misuse of the latter? It also saves that nasty dotted border Mozilla browsers place underneath acronyms. Also, from your previous postings on this, you'll be safe enough using quatation marks in place of the asterisks without fear of it clashing with the ReplaceUrls function.

Erm...using the span to create a tooltip ?
Just something like <span class=""tooltip"" title=""the tooltip""> .. </span> ? 
About the * instead of the " ; thanks for the info ; will do so.
Perhaps you've also got an idea for this one:
Currently the function uses a different approach for images being incapsulated by the acronym tag.
With this method, a different style is applied to these acronyms. However, what I'd like to achieve with images is that instead of using it as an acronym surrounding the image, I'd like to add it to the title tag. Like this:
INPUT: [acr="the title"][img]location of image[/img][/acr] OUTPUT: <IMG SRC="location of image" TITLE="the title">
Do you recon that's possible ?<

Ay, the title attribute will validate on the span tag, use it ocassionally meself when acronym isn't appropriate.
As for the image tags, I see what you're getting at, tried it meself a couple of times using various methods with naff all success. Gimme a day or 2 to clear all this junk out of me inbox (Where's me lighter fluid?!) and I'll have a look at it with you. No promises, though

Perfect! Thanks! Just replaced the acronym with span, so it's working allright now.
However, I cannot seem to use [acr=" "]... I changed this :
into this:
This works fine, as long as the same post does not contain any instances of [url=" "]...
So, I'll stick to [acr=* *] as syntax for the time being.<
However, I cannot seem to use [acr=" "]... I changed this :
Code:
oTag = "[acr=*"
c1Tag = "*]"
c2Tag = "[/acr]"
Code:
oTag = "[acr="""
c1Tag = """]"
c2Tag = "[/acr]"

Strangeness, from my working with the ReplaceUrls function, I wouldn't have thought this to be a problem. As an alternative, you could use single quotes as people will be used to using quatation marks with URLs.
