A titleabbrev
holds an abbreviated version of a
title

is for the text used in running headers
or footers, when the proper title is too long to be used
conveniently.
Processing expectations
May be formatted inline or as a displayed block, depending on
context. Abbreviated titles are usually used only in specific
contexts, such as headers and footers, and are suppressed everywhere
else.
