Today I’ve discovered this little CSS gem that allows very easily to truncate a paragraph with ellipsis according with the desired number of lines.
It’s unofficial but well supported, thus, use it wisely.
The relevan part are in this code:
<p>
Some text
</p>
p{
overflow:hidden;
display:-webkit-box;
-webkit-line-clamp: 2;
-webkit-box-orient: vertical;
}
