Abbreviation markup: Atty and Att. for Attorney

Posted by on 26 Nov 2010 in Activity log

Two strategies for this: for the superscript one, regexp, and for the simple one just a case-sensitive search and replace:

(?<!abbr>)([A])(tt<hi rend="[^"]+super+[^"]+">y\.?</hi>\.?)

<choice><abbr>$1$2</abbr><expan>$1ttorney</expan></choice>

Att.

<choice><abbr>Att.</abbr><expan>Attorney</expan></choice>
