![]() We can quickly add font style, font weight, and text overflow styling. It can be clipped, display an ellipsis (.), or display a custom string. The Material-UI Typography component is excellent for styling text within a layout. When applied to anchor elements, the truncating can happen in the middle of the text, not necessarily at the end. Truncated items are represented by an ellipsis. Text and TextField, which are composables following Material Design. In most cases you will also want to set overflow to hidden, otherwise the contents won't be clipped but an ellipsis will still be shown after the specified number of lines. Truncation, or shortening, is typically used for static text or links that exceed the size of their container. Unless you set it explicitly to ‘hidden,’ it will likely default to ‘visible,’ rendering the ‘text-overflow’ property useless. The second thing which must be set is ‘overflow.’. ![]() But that’s getting us off track, so let’s move on. The text-overflow property specifies how overflowed content that is not displayed should be signaled to the user. Text is a central piece of any UI, and Jetpack Compose makes it easier to display. Using only the ‘text-overflow’ property as described in this text to get the multiline ellipsis to work is impossible. It’s easy to see how max-lines would be nixed since it’s function (setting the number of lines before truncating) is already baked into line-clamp and any further abstraction might be unnecessary. That said, it’s defined as a shorthand for max-lines and block-overflow, the former of which is noted as at risk of being dropped in the Candidate Recommendation. The spec for it is currently an Editor’s Draft, so that means nothing here is set in stone because it’s a work in progress. The line-clamp property truncates text at a specific number of lines.
