[sword-devel] GlobalOptionFilter=OSISExpandAbbreviations

[DM Smith]

The XSLT for JSword uses the HTML abbr element to display the OSIS abbr element. Most browsers will show the expansion as a tooltip.

Are you thinking that this should be a toggle so that the tooltip shows up? Are you thinking that the expansion should be shown with the (ABBR) following?

In Him,
