<acronym>..text..</acronym>Tag
The tag defines the start of an acronym, like “WWW” and “C.B.I.”. By marking up acronyms you can give useful information to browsers, spell checkers, translation systems and search-engine indexers.
 
The title attribute can be used to show the full version of the expression when you are holding the mouse over the acronym(text).
 
Format:
<acronym title=”text_to_display_when_mouse_over_the_text”>..text..</acronym>
 
 
<abbr>..text..</abbr>
Indicates an abbreviated form, like “Inc.”, “etc.”. By marking up abbreviations you can give useful information to browsers, spell checkers, translation systems and search-engine indexers.
 
In some browsers the title attribute can be used to show the full version of the expression when you are holding the mouse over the abbreviation.

<abbr title=”text_to_display_when_mouse_over_the_text”>..text..</abbr>
 
 
<address> ..address..</address>
The <address> tag defines the start of an address. You should use it to define addresses, signatures, or authorships of documents. The address usually renders in italic.
