Examples

Use line-clamp-<number> utilities like line-clamp-2 and line-clamp-3 to truncate multi-line text after a specific number of lines:

Use line-clamp-none to undo a previously applied line clamp utility:

<p class="line-clamp-3 lg:line-clamp-none">  <!-- ... --></p>

Use the line-clamp-[<value>] syntax to set the number of lines based on a completely custom value:

<p class="line-clamp-[calc(var(--characters)/100)] ...">  <!-- ... --></p>

For CSS variables, you can also use the line-clamp-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<p class="line-clamp-(--my-line-count) ...">  <!-- ... --></p>

This is just a shorthand for line-clamp-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Prefix a line-clamp utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-4 ...">  <!-- ... --></div>
