Problem:

<abbr>(abbreviation, 縮寫)</abbr> and <acronym>(首字母縮略字) </acronym>

tags/markup was not work at old version of Mediawiki (v.1.6.9 bug) but abbr tag works in version 1.16.0)

• <ACRONYM title="High Technology">Hi-Tech</ACRONYM>
• WWW

MediaWiki

v.1.6.9

Alternative Stylesheet

 <span title="High Technology" class="acronym">Hi-Tech</span>
