No, there is only support for abbreviations. Initially I was thinking about a companion syntax to be able to specify acronyms, but I later decided against it after learning the `<acronym>` element has been removed from the WHATWG's [Web Application working draft][1] (often called HTML5 these days). [1]: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-abbr The rationale behind the removal is that it's most often pointless to distinguish acronyms from other kinds of abbreviations: visually, they're sometimes all caps (NASA), sometimes not (laser, radar); spoken, they're sometimes spelled letter-by-letter (USA) and at other times they're pronounced as a word (WYSIWYG). And some acronyms just have no meaning as acronyms (LMX: reverse parser for XML). Personally, I tend to agree with dropping `<acronym>`, and thus decided not to add support for it in PHP Markdown Extra. You can use abbreviations instead.
