Description

CSS feature

This GitHub issue is for collecting web developer signals for line-clamp.

The line-clamp CSS property limits the text in a block container to a certain number of lines. The prefixed -webkit-line-clamp is widely supported but only works with -webkit-box-orient: vertical in combination with display: -webkit-box or display: -webkit-inline-box.
