Auto-generated acronyms from a table in a Wiki page

Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.

Description

This plugin automatically generates HTML acronyms from definitions in tables in a Wiki page. These are AcronymDefinitions by default.

Acronyms are in the form <acronym>[<id>] and are defined in a table with four columns:

Acronym, Description [, URL [, ID URL]]

Only the first two columns are required.

URL can be the name of a wiki page, the name of which does not have to be CamelCase and can even be a subpage (e.g. MyPage/MySubPage), or an external resource. If an <id> is provided, the ID URL is used and any occurrences of the symbol $1 in the description and the ID URL are substituted with the <id>.

Rows starting with ||' are ignored.

The following acronym definition table:

||'''Acronym'''||'''Description'''        ||'''URL'''                    ||'''ID URL'''||
||RFC          ||Request For Comment $1   ||http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html ||http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc$1.txt||
||RFC2316      ||Request For Comment 2316 ||Rfc2316                      || ||

Has the following effect:

RFC becomes

    <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html">
     <acronym title="Request For Comment">
      RFC
     </acronym>
    </a>

RFC2315 becomes

    <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2315.txt">
     <acronym title="Request For Comment 2315">
      RFC 2315
     </acronym>
    </a>

RFC2316 becomes

    <a href="Rfc2316">
     <acronym title="Request For Comment 2316">
      RFC2316
     </acronym>
    </a>
