Limit Text Lines Preview Length

This code limits the amount of text shown in a preview, and ends the text with an ellipsis.

Add this code to the <head> section of your page or site settings.

<style>
.text-class {
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  display: -webkit-box;
  -webkit-line-clamp: 3; /* number of lines to show */
  line-clamp: 3;
  -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
}
</style>

Change the class name to the name that you're using for the text you want to limit.
