After messing around with this a little last night, it appears that Abbreviate isn't something that is recognized by oUF. So the

I thought I could find the abbreviate function from DogTag3.0 Lib and copy it over, but I was unable to find any reference to it. I could only find Abbrev and it was for "shortclassification" "shortclass" and "shortsex" .

There is something that I am overlooking in my search, and I for the life of me I am unable to figure it out.

'local' is case sensitive.
Functions must be valid, i guess that 'Abbreviate' and 'Length' etc is made by DogTag and Im not sure what they actually do to the string.

Also, custom tags should have custom names, overriding the '[name]' tag can mess up other layouts.
