Where to use acronym generator
Taking the first letter of every word rarely gives the acronym people expect: small words such as and or of usually drop out, HyperText gives two letters and Read-Only gives two. Acronym generator follows those habits, works on many phrases at once and marks the letters it used in each phrase, so visitors can see exactly how each acronym was made.
Writing documents
Make consistent acronyms for long names.
Teaching
Show how acronyms are built from phrases.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot acronym generator
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why was a small word used?
Small words are skipped only when written in lower case and never as the first word. Write As Far As I Know with capitals to keep each word.
Why does HyperText give two letters?
Use capitals inside words is on. Turn it off to use only the first letter of each word.
Why are there several acronyms?
Each line of the box is a separate phrase. Put a phrase on one line for one acronym.
