How Can I Truncate Text with an Ellipsis and Append '123 T.' on the Next Line?

Place Text After Dots Inline with the Second Line of Text Overflow Ellipsis

Issue

To condense excessively long text, you intend to conceal a portion of the text while indicating overflow with '...123 T.' on its succeeding line, as seen in the image below:

Solution

In the near future, a single line of code with "line-clamp: 2 "...123 T.;" will suffice. Further information is available in the specification.

Before this functionality becomes widely available, here's a rough workaround to achieve the desired outcome:

CSS

.container {
  max-width: 200px;
  margin: 5px;
}

.main-text {
  line-height: 1.2em;
  max-height: calc(2 * 1.2em);
  overflow: hidden;
  display: inline-block;
  position: relative;
}

.main-text:after {
  content: "123 T.";
  display: inline-block;
  width: 40px;
  position: relative;
  z-index: 999;
  box-shadow:
    40px 0 0 #fff,
    80px 0 0 #fff,
    120px 0 0 #fff,
    160px 0 0 #fff;
  color: #8e8f8f;
  font-size: 10px;
  background: #fff;
  margin-left: 2px;
}

.main-text span {
  position: absolute;
  top: 1.2em;
  right: 0;
  padding: 0 3px;
  background: #fff;
}

.main-text span:before {
  content: "...";
}

.main-text span:after {
  content: "123 T.";
  color: #8e8f8f;
  font-size: 10px;
}

HTML

<div class="container">
  <div class="main-text">
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam metus
    mi, dapibus sit amet posuere eu, porttitor condimentum nulla.
    Donec convallis lorem justo, eget malesuada lorem tempor vitae.
    Aliquam sollicitudin lacus ipsum, at tincidunt ante condimentum
    vitae. <span></span>
  </div>
