\subsubsection{Managing acronyms automatically}
Managing acronyms manually can lead to situations where the specific term is not properly expanded upon first use or when it is introduced.
The \texttt{acronym} package is useful to avoid such situations and provides full control over acronyms.
For example, assume we have defined an acronym with \texttt{\textbackslash{}newacronym\{ir\}\{IR\}\{Intermediate Representation\}}:
The expanded form of an abbreviation should be in lowercase, unless its parts are also capitalized (e.g., United Kingdom for UK).
For example, assume we have defined an acronym with \texttt{\textbackslash{}newacronym\{ir\}\{IR\}\{intermediate representation\}}:
\begin{itemize}
\item Upon first use of \texttt{\textbackslash{}ac\{ir\}} we get: \ac{ir}.
\item On the second reference: \ac{ir}.
\item If we need to force expansion for a figure or a background section where the term is first described, we can use \texttt{\textbackslash{}acf\{ir\}} which gives: \acf{ir}.
\item We can obtain plural form using \texttt{\textbackslash{}acp\{ir\}} giving: \acp{ir}.
\item To force expansion (e.g., for the background section where the term is first described), we use \texttt{\textbackslash{}acf\{ir\}} which gives: \acf{ir}.
\item To force contraction (e.g., to save space for a figure caption), we use \texttt{\textbackslash{}acs\{ir\}} which gives: \acs{ir}.
\item To obtain plural form, we use \texttt{\textbackslash{}acp\{ir\}} giving: \acp{ir}.
\end{itemize}
