Proportions
Both text strings will expand equally to fill the available space. The ellipsis will remain centered.
Tooltip
When the user hovers over the text, the browser tooltip will be used to display the whole text string.
1. When to use
Middle truncate should be used when text has important identifiers at the end of text string. An example of this would be Basis line items, which often include abbreviations at the end to indicate KPI types or geographic targeting.
2. Use sparingly
Middle truncation, like all truncation, should only be used when space is limited. Redesigning layouts or allowing the text to wrap to multiple lines might be preferable solutions.
