I wrote a very simple jquery plugin that clamps lines of an element to a set number of lines. Basically all it does is take the font size, the line height, and an argument passed to the function for max-lines, then it sets a maxheight and css-overflow to hidden.
To be clear, this clamps the actual element with the text, not a containing element.
I am wondering the best way to add an ellipsis to the last shown space. Should I actually truncate the text, then add an ellipsis via regex? If so, whats the best way to truncate characters that aren't shown?
Any help would be appreciated.
