    Acronym techniques

    max_drawdown Community Member

      What are tried and true techniques for managing acronyms in unstructured FM (I'm newly on FM10)?  Trying to avoid wheel reinvention here...

       

      A quick search of the forum for "acronym" looks rather sparse, maybe because "everyone" already knows how to do it?

       

      The client wants a list of acros and doesn't mind if they appear in the same list as key terms.

       

      Authors want to associate definition text in a body paragraph to the (parenthetical) acro that immediately follows. We also want to consider a character format for acros, something like small caps. That character tagging is, or is not, part of the means to assemble a list or table of acros.

       

      Seems like FM has enough of the right features to make this as manageable as glossary items.

       

      Do we re-engineer glossary techniques?  New type of marker?

       

      Best regards,
