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.

org-ref supports acronyms and glossaries:
https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/blob/master/org-ref-glossary.el. There
is a video of it at
https://www.youtube.com/live/sebs2vSIEk4?si=XUfT4KIuCF0PxlnN. It sounds
close to what you want.

Thanks for the pointers.

This is a bit like using the full glossaries package versus the
acronyms package in LaTeX, I fear :-)
And I've used acronyms a lot and developed sort of an allergy to glossaries
:-D

But I will take the summer to try and learn ... promise :-)

Managing acronyms in an Org-mode document

[Sébastien Gendre]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 473 bytes --]

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
