More precisely, any character that is not a word constituent expands an abbrev, and any word-constituent character can be part of an abbrev. The most common way to use an abbrev is to -insert it and then insert a punctuation character to expand it. +insert it and then insert a punctuation or whitespace character to expand it. @vindex abbrev-all-caps Abbrev expansion preserves case; thus, @samp{foo} expands into @samp{find outer otter}; @samp{Foo} into @samp{Find outer otter}, and @samp{FOO} into @samp{FIND OUTER OTTER} or @samp{Find Outer Otter} according to the -variable @code{abbrev-all-caps} (a non-@code{nil} value chooses the first -of the two expansions). +variable @code{abbrev-all-caps} (setting it non-@code{nil} specifies +@samp{FIND OUTER OTTER}}. These commands are used to control abbrev expansion:
