Limiting the number of characters per line with CSS

Question

I have a paragraph of text:

Lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum          


        

Answer 1

The latest way to go is to use the unit 'ch' which stands for character.

You can simply write:

p { max-width: 75ch; }

The only trick is that whitespaces won't be counted as characters..
