“It’s well supported”, yet on latest mobile Safari, it doesn’t appear to work at all. This w3 demo code does not show me the full name anywhere in the rendered content -https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_ab...
Chrome on Android rather (un)helpfully selects 'The WHO' and gives me a link to the rock band.
That would have nothing to do with the HTML abbr tag. That’s just Google Assistant being Google Assistant.
Understood. It's a bit like the Google Assistant saying, 'Stand aside, I don't need the instructions. I'm being helpful.' And then doing the wrong thing. It should just RTFM.
What about a long-press on the abbreviation? Does that do anything? I'm not on mobile now but I vaguely recall that working on some mobile platforms.
Noup, just tried
Although it works on desktop Safari, there's no way to tell that you should be able to hover over it.
