Try this if you want to restrict the lines up to 3 and after three lines the dots will appear  If we want to increase the lines just change the -webkit-line-clamp value and give the width for div size   div      display  -webkit-box     -webkit-line-clamp  3     -webkit-box-orient  vertical     overflow  hidden     text-overflow  ellipsis
