We're changing the syntax for abbreviations to match recommendations from various writing style guides.

Specifically, the example from the United States Plain Language guidance:

The American Journal of Plain Language Studies (AJPLA)

Notice the abbreviation is in parentheses following the spelled out version.

This release acts as a bridge to the next major release, allowing for both of the following syntaxes:

[.abbr](abbreviation)

[.abbreviation](abbr)

It is presumed that the shorter of the two will be the content of the abbr tag.

The next major release will only support:

[.abbreviation](abbr)
