Auto-acronym

While busy on adding this little and that little tricks on MT template, it might be good to blog on them too. Acronym is apparently a good way to save typing and release your reader of scratching head in figuring out what these weird capital letters really mean.

ManiacalRage has a pretty clear instruction on automate the acronym formatting in MT's template. You have to get the useful MTPerlScript and MTMacro from Brad Choate. Then to construct a template module for macros by yourself, or grab an example in instruction above and modify it. Applying the MTMacroApply on the entries...More could be applied and extended in further deployment. But you get it, that's the beauty of MT! Lots of plugins and ready-to-use tools out there for MT community! And all you have to do just do a simple search, grab the tools, follow instructions and phew...your wanted feature is there!
