Overflow paragraph with ellipsis
So I have a fixed height cell with title and content (shown below).
When the screen size gets smaller, the title gets text-overflow:ellipsis;
.
Here's the markup I used for the title and content:
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
However, with a piece of content (simple div
), the content extends outside the container (not shown in the picture). Also, since the content usually has a paragraph, when I apply the same css markup as above, it goes outside the container in a long line without break
.
What I am trying to achieve is the last part (red circle) in the image.
So, I already have an outer cell max-height
. How can I make it so that the content is inside the cell max-height
and all overflows go to the next line, and text-overflow: ellipsis;
is applied instead of a long straight line?
Thanks guys.
