Managing acronyms in an Org-mode document

Managing acronyms in an Org-mode document

Hello,


Is there a way to manage acronyms in an Org-mode document ?

For example:

1. I write a list of acronyms and their definition inside a "List of
   acronyms" heading
   
2. In my document, when I simply write the acronyms in my text

3. When I export my Org-mode document, the first time that an acronym is
   written, it appear in full version and all the other times it appear
   in acronym version


Best regards

Currently I'm using acronyms in Documents which I handle with *TeX as my
background processor. So, it's basically embedding the LaTeX \ac* commands
in the org-file. But I'm thinking of a module to do this in org-native
mode.

Most of what you say is already there in e.g. the acronyms package in LaTeX
and I have an ancient attempt at this written in C which made it's way to
the venerable latex2rtf program. It could make a nice summer project. I
could share the notes I have taken until now with basic ideas.

org-ref supports acronyms and glossaries:
https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/blob/master/org-ref-glossary.el. There
is a video of it at
https://www.youtube.com/live/sebs2vSIEk4?si=XUfT4KIuCF0PxlnN. It sounds
close to what you want.

Thanks for the pointers.

This is a bit like using the full glossaries package versus the
acronyms package in LaTeX, I fear :-)
And I've used acronyms a lot and developed sort of an allergy to glossaries
:-D

But I will take the summer to try and learn ... promise :-)
