The following roles don't do anything special except formatting the text
in a different style:
+.. role:: abbr
+
+ An abbreviation. If the role content contains a parenthesized explanation,
+ it will be treated specially: it will be shown in a tool-tip in HTML, and
+ output only once in LaTeX.
+
+ Example: ``:abbr:`LIFO (last-in, first-out)```.
+
+ .. versionadded:: 0.6
+
.. role:: command
The name of an OS-level command, such as ``rm``.
