That seems reasonable. For acronym, though, the manual says that "in Texinfo,
an acronym (but not an abbreviation) should consist only of capital letters and
periods, no lowercase," and when I tried '@abbr{Zuo, 作}' it was rejected as
"invalid Texinfo markup". I'm also not sure that the generated HTML would be
semantically correct.
How does this seem?
(description "Zuo (作) is a tiny Racket with primitives for dealing
with files and running processes. It comes with a @command{make}-like
embedded DSL, which is used to build Racket itself.
Zuo is a Racket variant in the sense that program files start with
@code{#lang}, and the module path after @code{#lang} determines the parsing
and expansion of the file content. That's how the @command{make}-like DSL is
defined, and even the base Zuo language is defined by layers of @code{#lang}s.
One of the early layers implements macros.")
