Extension talk:EnableAbbrTags

Why is ABBR prohibited anyway?
Does anyone know what the issue is with just allowing abbr tags?
 * Only a subset of HTML is allowed in MediaWiki. If more is needed there are extensions and settings to enable full HTML (but with security issues) or parsers/custom tags must be used (like this one). --Jeffmcneill 08:51, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

More attributes allowed
I've updated this extension to allow style, lang, etc. attributes, and simplified the code a bit.

abbr in Templates
This extension (as the version above) don't work with abbr used in templates.

For example a template  One  witch contain  will outpout  and not (as espected) Two I've tried to change hook name to proceed the substitution after parsing template parameters but it as no effect. Someone can fix that ? ⇨ Dr Brains ∞ Doléances ∞ 02:29, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, I've found a far better method :
 * In /includes/Sanitizer.php, class Sanitizer, function removeHTMLtags, just add 'abbr' to $htmlpairs Array :

$htmlpairs = array_merge( $extratags, array( # Tags that must be closed

-                              'b', 'del', 'i', 'ins', 'u', 'font', 'big', 'small', 'sub', 'sup', 'h1',

+                              'abbr', 'b', 'del', 'i', 'ins', 'u', 'font', 'big', 'small', 'sub', 'sup', 'h1',

'h2', 'h3', 'h4', 'h5', 'h6', 'cite', 'code', 'em', 's', 'strike', 'strong', 'tt', 'var', 'div', 'center', 'blockquote', 'ol', 'ul', 'dl', 'table', 'caption', 'pre', 'ruby', 'rt', 'rb' , 'rp', 'p', 'span', 'u'			) ); ⇨ Dr Brains ∞ Doléances ∞ 02:50, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
