Opening ISSUE-11

Abbreviations are all expanded in the HTML code. Sometimes they are  
expanded the first time, probably not all. This could be done for all.

I don't think expanding them every time they appear on text is useful,  
I think it'd be too verbose.

Explaining what it is the first time may be helpful, but I think we  
should not go in much detail on what e.g. XML is in this document.  
Maybe a sentence or two would be OK, then pointer to more info.  
Pointers are already there though.
