Hi Jon
I second that idea.
This is exactly what we've been looking for for ATutor, for doing things
like truncating page titles in our content navigation menu, expanding
and contracting page descriptions, and a few other spots where text
doesn't quite fit in the space available.

Hi everyone,
In designing the new Image Uploader demo, I realized that adding a
filename as a caption to the uploaded images would not be possible
because the string may be too long. This issue is similar to FLUID 962
(http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-962) where long filenames
in the file queue create unwanted disappearance of text.
It would be nice to have a component that handles the expanding and
collapsing of text.
Features:
- Specify the splitting of long strings of text after X chracters.
- Specify the appearance of an ellipsis at the middle or end of the
string.
- Expand or contract the string to fit within a container.
- Resize the string as the container is resized
- Hovering / focusing truncated text could reveal complete text (maybe
as an accessible tooltip?)
Does a similar component already exist? If not, perhaps this can be a
component worth considering for development.
