What I would like to do is to autocreate acronyms.

For example lets say I have an abbreviation for the United States I would normally mark it up as so:



but what I would love to do is get this to work:



and using maybe the MTMacro plugin, have the first example outputted, anyway to have it automatically pick off the first letter of each word? I am not really very good with regular expressions or any of that...

MT-Macro would be wonderful for that.

Of course, why not just write U.S. and have MT-Macro do the whole thing for you?

I'm actually planning on doing that, but then there are new acronyms that I might only use occasionally or whatever, I thought about having them collapse and expand via javascript but I think the change in text layout would be a little disorienting...
