To use line-clamp with a limit of 2 lines to uniform your cards in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Select the text element within your card that you want to apply the line-clamp effect to.
Go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.
Under the Typography section, locate the "Text style" dropdown menu and click on it. If you don't have a text style set up yet, you can create one by clicking on the "+" button next to the dropdown.
In the dropdown menu, select the text style you want to apply or create a new one. This will ensure that the line-clamp effect is consistent across all your cards.
With the text element still selected, scroll down in the Styles panel to find the "Text" section.
In the "Text" section, click on the "+" button next to the "Max lines" option. A new field will appear.
In the new field, enter the number "2" to set the maximum number of lines.
Next, add a custom CSS class to the text element by clicking on the "+" button next to the "Add classes" option in the Styles panel.
In the Add classes field, enter a class name of your choice, such as "line-clamp-2".
Now, switch to the "Custom code" tab at the top of the Webflow Designer.
Inside the "Custom code" tab, click on the "Head" section and then click on the "+" button to add a new code block.
In the new code block, enter the following CSS code:

.line-clamp-2 {  display: -webkit-box;  -webkit-line-clamp: 2;  -webkit-box-orient: vertical;  overflow: hidden;}

Save your changes and preview your site to see the line-clamp effect applied to your cards. The text within each card should now be uniformly clamped to a maximum of 2 lines, creating a consistent look across all the cards.
