Truncating text

Use the truncate utility to truncate text with an ellipsis:

<p class="truncate ...">The longest word in any of the major...</p>

Adding an ellipsis

Use the text-ellipsis utility to add an ellipsis to text:

<p class="overflow-hidden text-ellipsis ...">The longest word in any of the major...</p>

Clipping text

Use the text-clip utility to clip text:

<p class="overflow-hidden text-clip ...">The longest word in any of the major...</p>

Responsive design

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

<p class="text-ellipsis md:text-clip ...">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</p>
