Issue Type: FEATURE
Summary: I suggest a shortening table for formatting table

Status: UNCONFIRMED

This is a feature request.
Each department (business, maths, cooking, physics, bibliography, or any more
general reference keeping) has a number of recurrent words with quite usual
shortenings. In writer, we already have this bibliography management, keeping
shortenings for any referenced piece of literature. A simple and more general
table of shortenings may offer a dependent formatting of table contents.
If the content of a table cell is too large to be shown, it gets cut in the
middle of a letter. In many cases it would be better and sufficient to cut one
letter behind syllable border and add a dot, but a much better solution would
be a list of well known shortenings.
Instead of cutting "absolute" to [absc] we would read [abs.] e.g.. And still
the real content of the field would be the whole word.
Presentation of data would gain a major valorisation with much less efford this
way.
