Hello,


Is there a way to manage acronyms in an Org-mode document ?

For example:

1. I write a list of acronyms and their definition inside a "List of
   acronyms" heading
   
2. In my document, when I simply write the acronyms in my text

3. When I export my Org-mode document, the first time that an acronym is
   written, it appear in full version and all the other times it appear
   in acronym version


Best regards

-------

Currently I'm using acronyms in Documents which I handle with *TeX as my
background processor. So, it's basically embedding the LaTeX \ac* commands
in the org-file. But I'm thinking of a module to do this in org-native
mode.

Most of what you say is already there in e.g. the acronyms package in LaTeX
and I have an ancient attempt at this written in C which made it's way to
the venerable latex2rtf program. It could make a nice summer project. I
could share the notes I have taken until now with basic ideas.

Best, /PA
