Line Clamp

    Utilities for clamping text to a specific number of lines.

    Use the utilities to truncate a block of text after a specific number of lines.

    Undoing line clamping

    1. <p class="line-clamp-3 lg:line-clamp-none">
    2. </p>

    Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use hover:line-clamp-4 to only apply the utility on hover.

    For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

    Breakpoints and media queries

    You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:line-clamp-4 to apply the line-clamp-4 utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

    1. <p class="line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-4">
    2.   <!-- ... -->
    3. </p>

    By default, Tailwind provides the six utilities. You can customize these values by editing theme.lineClamp or theme.extend.lineClamp in your tailwind.config.js file.
