Some acronyms are formed by contraction; these are covered at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Abbreviations. Some trademarks (e.g. Nabisco) and titles of published works (e.g. “Ain't That a Shame”) consist of or contain contractions; these are covered at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trademarks and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles, respectively.
A contraction is a shortened version of the spoken and written forms of a word, syllable, or word group, created by omission of internal letters and sounds.. In linguistic analysis, contractions should not be confused with crasis, abbreviations and initialisms (including acronyms), with which they share some semantic and phonetic functions, though all three are connoted by the term ...

However, de does not contract with the homophonous personal pronoun él ("him"), nor, in writing, with a proper noun; thus:
Del can also be applied to a vector field with the result being a tensor. The tensor derivative of a vector field v {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} } (in three dimensions) is a 9-term second-rank tensor – that is, a 3×3 matrix – but can be denoted simply as ∇ ⊗ v {\displaystyle \nabla \otimes \mathbf {v} } , where ⊗ {\displaystyle \otimes ...
