Truncating Long Text with CSS Ellipsis | CSS Tips and Tricks
This CSS tutorial will explore the art of truncating text in web design using CSS ellipsis. Have you ever encountered long strings of text that disrupt the layout of your website? CSS provides a powerful solution with the `text-overflow` property, allowing you to add ellipsis and indicate hidden content.
We'll dive deep into how `text-overflow` works, its relationship with other CSS properties like `overflow` and `white-space`, and how it enables single-line text truncation. We'll also uncover the secrets of truncating multi-line text using a combination of CSS properties, including the elusive `-webkit-line-clamp`.
Join us as we demonstrate step-by-step how to implement text truncation in your web projects, ensuring a clean and polished design while maintaining readability and user experience. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more web design tips and tutorials. Let's dive in!

Glad it helped.
it won't work well for other locale, you should also add word-break: break-word;

Thank you for your input! I never tested this for other locales, so I can't be certain how well it works universally. Adding `word-break: break-word;` is a great suggestion and could improve compatibility. Thanks again for adding value to the discussion!
what if we need the ellipsis to be in the middle of the text rather at the end?

May I ask the purpose of adding the ellipsis in the middle of the text? Depending on your needs, you might be able to achieve this with JavaScript. CSS alone doesn't support middle truncation, but with JavaScript, you can dynamically truncate the text and add the ellipsis where needed.

You can split the string at the desired location, add an ellipsis in the middle, and then concatenate the parts to form a single string.

@@OptimisticWeb Thank youuu, but how do we determine the desired location?

It depends on the requirement. You can either find a position based on a specific number of characters or find a specific word in the string to determine where to split and add an ellipsis.
