I’m currently ~70% of the way through a MVP `org-glossary' package .

Testing/design comments would be appreciated, if you’re up to either of those it
would be most convenient if you could get in touch over Matrix
(@tecosaur:matrix.org), Discord (tecosaur#2786), or IRC (tecosaur on librechat).

All the best,
Timothy

Hi Timothy,
thanks for looking into this. A package "org-abbreviations" or so would 
be truly awesome. Have you had a chance to look into a MVP? Let me know 
if I can help somehow.

Best,
Denis

Hi Denis,


Is there support for abbreviations in org-mode? Something like what the acro
package provides for latex, i.e., assemble a list of all used abbreviations, use
a full form when an abbreviation is used for the first time, the abbreviated
form afterwards. If that does not exist: What would be a good way to approach
that?

Not directly, but I think you could do something like this as a halfway-house:

┌
│ Blah blah text ABBR
│
│ * Abbreviations
│
│ - <<>> :: Some abbreviation
│ ...
└

I’d think there’s scope for a package say “org-abbreviations” which provides
acro-like support. Perhaps even support for a central abbreviations file. Hmm, I
may think of trying a small MVP for that this weekend.

All the best,
Timothy

Hi everyone,
is there support for abbreviations in org-mode? Something like what the 
acro package provides for latex, i.e., assemble a list of all used 
abbreviations, use a full form when an abbreviation is used for the 
first time, the abbreviated form afterwards. If that does not exist: 
What would be a good way to approach that?
