webkit-line-clamp #52

Closed robcolburn closed 6 years ago

robcolburn commented 8 years ago

There is a functionality of mutli-line ellipses in Webkit / Blink that doesn't seem to have any formal proposal / documentation.

Mutli-line ellipses are super useful, and currently we resort to cryptic, proprietary css or JS hacks or both.

It's been a couple years since @chriscoyier published an article on the time https://css-tricks.com/line-clampin/ .

Can the community propose that this property be helped moving forward?

As an alternative, @dstorey mentioned Opera's now-deprecated Presto engine had perhaps a more elegant solution: https://github.com/Merri/ellipsis-lastline

I believe the web-development community, or at least myself, would applaud either.
