![]() ![]() Overflow value does not necessarily have to be ‘hidden.’ Using any property other than ‘overflow: visible’ should produce the desired results. The second thing which must be set is ‘overflow.’ Unless you set it explicitly to ‘hidden,’ it will likely default to ‘visible,’ rendering the ‘text-overflow’ property useless. ![]() Using only the ‘text-overflow’ property as described in this text to get the multiline ellipsis to work is impossible. Truncating multiline text with an ellipsis is an entirely different story. To produce any results, there are at least two other CSS properties you need to set properly for’ text-overflow: ellipsis.’ Firstly, the ‘white-space’ property should be set to ‘nowrap.’ This property determines the way in which long text will be wrapped in relation to whitespace characters and using ‘nowrap’ as the value will restrict the text to only one line. This is because some very specific conditions must be met in order for everything to work perfectly, so let’s dive right in and examine them. ![]() Text-overflow is a CSS property that allows an easy way to do this when its value is simply set to ‘ellipsis.’ But more often than not, developers find that ‘text-overflow: ellipsis’ is not working as expected. Typically, we need whatever is too long to be displayed nicely to be replaced by an ellipsis, which is a set of dots (…) indicating that there is the text being left out. When we deal with long text, we often want to truncate it so that it fits our UI design. ![]()
