Hey Readers, πŸ‘‹
Nicholas here. I'm a web developer.
Web development is interesting yet a challenging approach so here I'm sharing a bit of knowledge to abate complexity for you all.

HTML is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It provides a powerfull accessibility functions if used appropriately and Also can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript. In addition to this, it's easy to learn and has a lots of features that you can use as Web developer. Here, I'm going to show you some of the most Uncommon HTML tags. πŸ˜€
1.Abbreviation:

  • The tag in HTML5 is the latest title.
  • When the mouse curser is hovered on the title, it will display a full description in the tooltip form.

  • This element includes Global Attribute like: title.

  • Example:

    The most wonder key of your development is ` Self Reflection

    The most wonder key of your development is

    Self Reflection

    `
  1. Acronym:
  • The is another abbreviation tag

  • In HTML5 is not supported. In case we use the tag

  • The tag is compatible in any browser as well as it is used to abbreviate the full form of the title whixh is placed between these tags when hovered.

    ` <p> The <acronym title="world wide web">www</acronym>
