Yes, the markup extensions adds 2 options:

{abbr|abbreviation} uses the <abbr> tag and is suitable for
cases like {XML|eXtensible Markup Language}

{:term:definition} uses the <dfn> tag ans is suitable for
things like {:bad news:that which the other guy should deliver}

Each gains a dotted underline and a ? cursor.

In print view, the definition is displayed in brackets after the
item. For example: XML (eXtensible Markup Language).
