Additional Information

Labels containing text formatting tags are not abbreviated by the Maplex Label Engine. See the documentation below. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/text/abbreviate-and-truncate-labels.htm

Workaround

Workaround:

  1. Create a second label class for the same feature class that uses the same abbreviation dictionary but without any text formatting tags.
  2. Display the second label class after the first label class.
  3. The spacing and placement of each label class need to be adjusted to fit user needs.
