In the web page you can show the paragraph of text and you want to show only three line text on the screen. If more that three line you cannot show the remaining lines in the webpage. More than three line text come after third line it should be ended with dotted like this …
How to do this.

You can create this with css. Simple line of css code you can do this. I create the paragraph of text and it should be more than three after three lines its should be finished with dots.

CSS Code:
p.msg{
display: -webkit-box;
-webkit-line-clamp: 2;
-webkit-box-orient: vertical;
height: 40px;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
