To replace acronyms in your document, acronymsdown offers several styles, which are quite similar to the abbreviations styles in the LaTeX package glossaries.

This vignette lists the available styles, and shows how they render.

Styles might make a difference between the first use and next uses of an acronym. In the following list, the two variations are shown for each style.

For each of the style examples, we will use the following document (metadata and body):

---
acronyms:
  keys:
    - shortname: Rmd
