Automatically Insert The Acronym Tag

[godlessren]

Hello All

I am working on an established web that includes a boat load of acronyms (including some identical acronyms with more than 1 meaning i.e. CD = Component Design or Core Developer)

I want to go through the web with a list of acronyms and their meanings and insery the acronym tag so that a tool tip appears witht the full explaination of what we are speaking about.

Does anyone know of a method/tool that could do this automatically as manually ploughing through the 100's of pages of html is somewhat unworkable.

any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

Do you already have the list of meanings or do you need to search the web for them?

I Already have the list of meanings.

I'm kind of hoping there is something that do the equivelent of find and replace with HTML for several hundred Pages all in one go for a big list of acronyms.

Either: use Search & Replace software (http://www.soft32.com/download_202051.html) to do the replacement. It does mean you will have to input the search and replace text for each acronym.

Or: ask in one of the server-side forums (your language of choice) if someone would write a script to fully automate the process.
