基于-webkit-line-clamp的纯CSS方法:

好问题……我希望有一个答案，但这是最近你能得到的CSS。没有省略，但仍然很好用。

overflow: hidden;
line-height: 1.2em;
height: 3.6em;      // 3 lines * line-height

下面的链接为这个问题提供了一个纯HTML / CSS的解决方案。

浏览器支持-如文中所述:

到目前为止，我们已经在Safari 5.0, IE 9(必须在标准模式下)， Opera 12和Firefox 15。 旧的浏览器仍然可以很好地工作，作为布局的核心 是在正常定位，边距和填充属性。如果你的 平台较老(例如Firefox 3.6, IE 8)，您可以使用该方法，但 重做渐变作为一个独立的PNG图像或DirectX过滤器。

css:

p { margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: sans-serif;}

.ellipsis {
    overflow: hidden;
    height: 200px;
    line-height: 25px;
    margin: 20px;
    border: 5px solid #AAA; }

.ellipsis:before {
    content:"";
    float: left;
    width: 5px; height: 200px; }

.ellipsis > *:first-child {
    float: right;
    width: 100%;
    margin-left: -5px; }        

.ellipsis:after {
    content: "\02026";  

    box-sizing: content-box;
    -webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
    -moz-box-sizing: content-box;

    float: right; position: relative;
    top: -25px; left: 100%; 
    width: 3em; margin-left: -3em;
    padding-right: 5px;

    text-align: right;

    background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top,
        from(rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)), to(white), color-stop(50%, white));
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(to right, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), white 50%, white);           
    background: -o-linear-gradient(to right, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), white 50%, white);
    background: -ms-linear-gradient(to right, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), white 50%, white);
    background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), white 50%, white); }

html:

<div class="ellipsis">
    <div>
        <p>Call me Ishmael.  Some years ago &ndash; never mind how long precisely &ndash; having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.  It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation.  Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off &ndash; then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.</p>  
    </div>
</div>

我发现了一个javascript技巧，但你必须使用字符串的长度。假设你想要3行宽250px，你可以计算每行的长度。

//get the total character length.
//Haha this might vary if you have a text with lots of "i" vs "w"
var totalLength = (width / yourFontSize) * yourNumberOfLines

//then ellipsify
function shorten(text, totalLength) {
    var ret = text;
    if (ret.length > totalLength) {
        ret = ret.substr(0, totalLength-3) + "...";
    }
    return ret;
}

这里有很多答案，但我需要的是:

CSS只 面向未来(与时间更加兼容) 不会把单词分开(只在空格上分开)

需要注意的是，它不为不支持-webkit-线夹规则的浏览器(目前是IE, Edge, Firefox)提供省略号，但它确实使用渐变淡出文本。

.clampMe { position: relative; height: 2.4em; overflow: hidden; } .clampMe:after { content: ""; text-align: right; position: absolute; bottom: 0; right: 0; width: 50%; height: 1.2em; /* Just use multiples of the line-height */ background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 80%); } /* Now add in code for the browsers that support -webkit-line-clamp and overwrite the non-supportive stuff */ @supports (-webkit-line-clamp: 2) { .clampMe { overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; display: -webkit-box; -webkit-line-clamp: 2; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; } .clampMe:after { display: none; } } <p class="clampMe">There's a lot more text in here than what you'll ever see.
