truncate-text.md

Truncates text that is longer than one line, adding an ellipsis at the end (…).

• Use overflow: hidden to prevent the text from overflowing its dimensions.
• Use white-space: nowrap to prevent the text from exceeding one line in height.
• Use text-overflow: ellipsis to make it so that if the text exceeds its dimensions, it will end with an ellipsis.
• Specify a fixed width for the element to know when to display an ellipsis.
• Only works for single line elements.

<p class="truncate-text">If I exceed one line's width, I will be truncated.</p>
