I'm not really clear about your question.
If you are asking about the acronym *element* in html, you can style it once
and the style will apply to all instances in the document.
html [1]
<acronym> NATO</acronym>
<acronym> RADAR</acronym>
<acronym> CSS</acronym>
CSS
acronym{ color: navy; more styles;}
All the acronyms in the document will have a text color of navy and any
other styles you apply.
If you're asking about repeating an acronym, like NATO, in the body of a
document, you don't have to *define* it. (unless of course it's some
obscure reference that your audience may not understand)
You can give different acronyms (NATO, RADAR, CSS) different styles if you
want, but that, I think, is a topic for another post.
It might be helpful to post a link to a page with the problem (or a minimal
test case) to help clarify your question.
