OK, followup then: First, so if I have <acronym>eu</acronym> the standard XSLT files and/or Jade would automatically make that "EU" for HTML or RTF output? Second, could I then setup DocBook in ConTeXt to automatically letterspace all acronyms? This would be using the CapStretch macro Bill McClain has listed on his website... \def\CapStretchAmount{.08em} \def\CapStretch#1{\def\stretchedspaceamount{\CapStretchAmount}\stretched normalcase{#1} Bruce On Monday, January 27, 2003, at 10:30 AM, Duncan Hothersall wrote:

DocBook has the elemt <acronym>. It is recommended for precisely this use.

I want to author documents in XML so I can reuse the content. How should I deal with acronyms, such that if I output to HTML I get all-caps, but if I typeset using ConTeXt (maybe using Simon's DocBook thing) I'd get small caps? Is there an element for this in DocBook, for example?

No, the standard DocBook XSL stylesheets (currently version 1.60.1) won't automatically make that Uppercase. You'd have to customize the according template if you want this behaviour.

How about the other way around then: use <acronym>EU</acronym> and have ConTeXt make it lowercase and SC? Is that possible? Bruce
