RE: https://joomla.social/@joomla/116517015543380042

This is not an #accessibility feature.

`<abbr>` and `title` exposure is inconsistent across browsers and assistive technologies. Some set of users will always miss some piece of information.

Most people write abbreviations and move on, but that can leave readers behind.
This Joomla Community Magazine article explains how Joomla 6.1 introduces abbr buttons in TinyMCE, making it easy to add semantic meaning without editing HTML.
The result is clearer content, better accessibility, and improved support for assistive technologies. A small change with real impact.
See how to start using it today.
