Truncate text with ellipsis — Nakshora 3.0 Cookbook — Nakshora Docs — Cookbook · Nakshora Docs editorial library

Problem: One-line and multi-line truncation.

Solution#

html

<p class="truncate">One line…</p>
<p class="line-clamp-3">Three lines…</p>

Why this works#

truncate bundles overflow-hidden + nowrap + ellipsis; line-clamp-N handles paragraphs.

Variants#

Responsive: add screen prefixes to the core classes
Dark: pair each color utility with its dark: twin
Animated: add transition + a state variant for motion
