How to truncate text in HTML

问题

I have an HTML email (with the following HTML in it) to be sent to our user base, the email sends correctly.

I have some lines that are very long, and the text needs to fit in a fixed layout and text longer than 3 lines needs to be truncated.

Is there any way to truncate text in HTML? I try to set overflow: hidden but it does not truncate the long line.

<td valign="top" height="85"  style="padding:0">
  <p style=" text-align:justify; height:85px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, sans-serif; overflow: hidden; font-size: 14px; vertical-align:text-top; margin: 0; padding:0; line-height:1.5; ">

Maecenas consequat elementum pretium. Donec venenatis tortor at sapien cursus eget lacinia lorem egestas. Praesent eget risus ut justo dapibus cursus. Mauris tincidunt euismod massa in pellentesque. Vivamus non scelerisque nisl.

Use text-overflow instead:

  <p style="width: 50%; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis;">The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.</p>
