Acronyms in non capitals

I understood that acronyms are generated like this

CAPITAL(Explanation)

However I don’t want my acronym to be in capital letters. How did they do it here http://textgarden.org/softened-cells (the Textile acronym in the lower part of the page is not capitalized).

However

Capital(Explanation)

seems not to work.

Hints?

Re: Acronyms in non capitals

Use HTML: <abbr title="Explanation">Capital</abbr>. You are not required to use Textile, it’s just a convenience for the common cases.

Re: Acronyms in non capitals

You can use CSS:

acronym {
text-transform: lowercase;
}

(They shouldn’t be using an acronymn nor an abbreviation tag for a real word, like “Textile”; they should simply make use of a span, a title attribute, and CSS.)
