Currently, I'm developing a tool, which helps at shortening streetnames.
This is done by using Maplex Abbreviation Dictionaries.
For example, the road name is: "Frank-Dickmann-Road". | (pipe) means new line.
A shortened variant could be: "F.-Dick-|mann-Road" or even "Fr.-Dickm.-Road".
Therefor I've added these translations to the dicitionary: Frank => "F.", "Fr." and Dickmann => "Dick-mann", "Dickm."
With activated stacking for hyphens, currently Maplex (10.1) moves the first character in a new line to uppercase:
"F.-Dick-|Mann-Road|"
For some language, like the German one, this behaviour is wrong and unexpected.
My idea:
- make it switchable in Maplex' Stacking options, for the users know need it
- keep the case of the original string (expected behaviour)
