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

following CSS class helped me in getting two line ellipsis.

  .two-line-ellipsis {
        padding-left:2vw;
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
        overflow: hidden;
        width: 325px;
        line-height: 25px;
        display: -webkit-box;
        -webkit-line-clamp: 2;
        -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
        padding-top: 15px;
    }
