Add `<abbr>` tooltip tags to first occurrence of abbreviations in docs by Copilot · Pull Request #695 · microsoft/aspire.dev

Copilot · 2026-04-09T17:53:45Z

Wraps key technical abbreviations in English documentation with <abbr title="..." data-tooltip-placement="top"> HTML tags, so readers see a tooltip with the full expansion when hovering over the abbreviation. Only the first occurrence of each abbreviation in a given article is wrapped; subsequent occurrences are left as plain text.

Abbreviations wrapped

Abbreviation	Full expansion	Files affected
`OTEL`	OpenTelemetry	5
`OTLP`	OpenTelemetry Protocol	21
`MCP`	Model Context Protocol	26
`BFF`	Backend for Frontend	2
`DAG`	Directed Acyclic Graph	3

44 files modified, 52 <abbr> tags added (one per abbreviation per article).

Excluded from wrapping

The script carefully avoids wrapping in contexts where adding HTML tags would break rendering or appear as literal text:

Fenced code blocks (```)
Inline code (` ... `)
Markdown link text [...]
Environment variable names (OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT)
Slash-separated compound identifiers (OTLP/gRPC, gateway/BFF)
JSX component attribute strings (e.g., title="MCP server" on components not using set:html)
JS object property strings for components that render as plain text
YAML frontmatter
Translation directories (ja, de, fr, es, zh-cn, hi, id, it, ko, pt-br, ru, tr, uk, da)
Any subsequent occurrence of an abbreviation already introduced earlier in the same article

Additional fixes

Fixed pre-existing typo OLTP → OTLP in dashboard/enable-browser-telemetry.mdx
Fixed "OpenTelemetry Protocols" → "OpenTelemetry Protocol" (singular) in whats-new/aspire-9-5.mdx
Updated the existing <abbr> in deployment/javascript-apps.mdx to add data-tooltip-placement="top" for consistency

Hey @copilot, could you please update this PR so that you only add the abbr for the first unique occurrence in the article, and not repeat?

Hey @copilot, could you please update this PR so that you only add the abbr for the first unique occurrence in the article, and not repeat?

Done in a16427e. Each <abbr> tag now appears only for the first occurrence of each abbreviation in a given article. The count dropped from 229 to 52 tags across 44 files (max 1 per abbreviation per file, verified with a grep check).
