| Addon | General / Uncategorised |
| Description | This tag seems a bit muddled as the input area for the description is a single line and the actual abbreviation has a text area. Either the help text is the wrong way round or the input areas are. May also exist as a bug in v11. |

[abbr title="full version"]contents[/abbr]
"contents", which exists on all tags, has the long text area, and is what shows up as the actual HTML. That's because in most cases / Comcode tags, it's the longest portion of the tag. "Abbr" is an exception since contents is actually the abbreviation, and you stick the long version in a title parameter (because in the HTML abbr tag, it's exactly that... < abbr title="long version" > abbreviation < /abbr >).
I cannot flip flop them because that goes against the convention of the contents being what shows up on the page (which is still true despite it being the shorter version). I can look into seeing if I can make the title field also long text.
