Applying an ellipsis to multiline text [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can achieve this by a few lines of CSS and JS.

CSS:

        div.clip-context {
          max-height: 95px;
          word-break: break-all;
          white-space: normal;
          word-wrap: break-word; //Breaking unicode line for MS-Edge works with this property;
        }

JS:

        $(document).ready(function(){
             for(let c of $("div.clip-context")){
                    //If each of element content exceeds 95px its css height, extract some first 
                    //lines by specifying first length of its text content. 
                   if($(c).innerHeight() >= 95){
                        //Define text length for extracting, here 170.
                        $(c).text($(c).text().substr(0, 170)); 
                        $(c).append(" ...");
                   }
             }

        });
