How do I limit a paragraph in Webflow to two lines followed by three dots or an ellipsis, with a line height of 16px?

To limit a paragraph in Webflow to two lines followed by three dots or an ellipsis, you can achieve this by using CSS properties. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Select the paragraph element you want to apply the style to.
Step 2: Go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side.
Step 3: Click on the "+" button to add a new style rule.
Step 4: Add a class name to the paragraph element, let's call it ".limited-paragraph" (you can use any name you prefer).
Step 5: Click on the "New style rule" dropdown and select "All paragraphs" or choose the specific paragraph element you want to target from the list.
Step 6: In the Typography section, set the line height to 16px. You can either type it in the Line height field or adjust it using the slider.
Step 7: Scroll down to the Advanced section and click on the "+" button to add a new custom CSS property.
Step 8: Set the CSS property name to "display" and the value to "block".
Step 9: Add another custom CSS property with the name "overflow" and the value "hidden".
Step 10: Finally, add one more custom CSS property with the name "text-overflow" and the value "ellipsis".

Now, to limit the paragraph to two lines, you will need to set a specific height for the container of the paragraph element. Here's how you can do it:

Step 11: Add a new custom CSS property with the name "height" and the value "32px". This will give you exactly two lines of text with a line height of 16px.

Make sure to update the value of "32px" to match the desired height for two lines of text based on your font size and line height.

Once you've completed these steps, your paragraph element will be limited to two lines followed by three dots or an ellipsis if the content exceeds the specified height.
