Show first 3 lines in HTML paragraph

Question

I want to show only the first 3 lines of the paragraph below using HTML formatting. I am searching on W3Schools but it doesn\'t show how to do it.

Answer 1

Set the height of the paragraph to three line-heigths. Like -

p{
  line-height:1.2em;
  height:3.6em;
  overflow:hidden;
}

Set overflow to hidden to hide overflowing text
