This is not intended to be a "issue", but rather a discussion thread.

I am working on a package in the LinguisTiX bundle for printing linguistic abbreviations. For instance, to denote present tense, linguists use PRS (not in caps, but in small caps). So, suppose in a text, a sentence like: "English uses {-s} for denoting \abr{prs}", then it should be read as: "English uses the s morpheme for denoting present tense."

The list of standard abbreviations is small, but many a times some custom abbreviations are required. I would like to have a way to create a macro that can on the fly create the alternate text. I am willing to use the lttemplates code along with the new \DocumentMetadata{tagging=on} method. I would love to know how much of this is possible in LaTeX? From where should one start. Note that the morpheme and the abbreviation is just one small example, there are many such instances that need tagging.
