Limit text length to n lines using CSS

Question

Is it possible to limit a text length to \"n\" lines using CSS (or cut it when overflows vertically).

text-overflow: ellipsis; only works for 1 line tex

Answer 1

The solution from this thread is to use the jquery plugin dotdotdot. Not a CSS solution, but it gives you a lot of options for "read more" links, dynamic resizing etc.
