How can I add ellipsis to the text on my Webflow blog page with a CMS collection?

To add ellipsis to the text on your Webflow blog page with a CMS collection, you can follow these steps:

1. Select the text element: Go to your Webflow designer and navigate to the page where you have the blog collection. Select the text element that you want to add the ellipsis to.

2. Set the maximum number of lines: With the text element selected, go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the designer. Under the Typography section, locate the "Line height" property. Set the line height value to the desired height, which should be enough to fit the text within the available space.

3. Add the ellipsis CSS code: Scroll down in the Styles panel and locate the "Custom code" section. Click on the </> symbol to access the custom code editor. In the code editor, add the following CSS code:

max-height: [your desired height]px;overflow: hidden;text-overflow: ellipsis;white-space: nowrap;

Replace [your desired height] with the desired height value in pixels. This code will set the maximum height for the text, hide any overflowing content, and display an ellipsis (...) at the end of the text if it exceeds the specified height.

1. Publish your changes: Once you have added the CSS code, make sure to save and publish your changes to see the ellipsis applied to the text on your blog page.

By following these steps, you can easily add ellipsis to the text on your Webflow blog page using a CMS collection. This will help keep the layout consistent and provide a visually appealing way to indicate that there is more content that can be read by clicking or expanding the element.
