Problem Statement
How do you truncate long text with ellipsis correctly?
Explanation
Use dot text dash truncate on a block or inline block with a fixed width. Combine with overflow hidden and white space nowrap. Bootstrap’s helper wraps these CSS rules for you.
Make sure the container has a max width or a fixed width. Without a width, truncation will not trigger because the line never overflows.
