Latin phrases #4

Closed chharvey closed 10 years ago

chharvey commented 10 years ago

Add i[lang="la"] > abbr[title] for all instances of phrases in Latin. Examples include "e.g.", "i.e.", "vs.", and "etc.".

The title attribute should be the whole phrase. No need to translate to English.

<i lang="la"><abbr title="exampli gratia">e.g.</abbr></i> <!-- (for example) -->
<i lang="la"><abbr title="id est">i.e.</abbr></i>  <!-- (that is) -->
<i lang="la"><abbr title="et cetera">etc.</abbr></i> <!-- (and the rest) -->
<abbr title="versus">vs.</abbr> <!-- (versus) -->

Notice how vs. is not designated as Latin because "versus" is actually an English word (albeit with Latin origin).
