Maybe I'm just short on imagination. Do you have examples of when you'd want that? Well, the cases are not as strong as the single-line cases, I guess. Though the principle stays the same, i.e. cases, in which you care more about the ending than the middle of the contents. One use case could be the Inspector panel within browser DevTools, which shows the text contents of the elements. When they span over many lines, it gets quickly hard to skim over the HTML structure. Those could limit the contents to a specific number of lines but crop them in the middle of the contents, so it's easy to skim over them. Example:  Could be shrinked to someting like in this mockup:  Sebastian -- GitHub Notification of comment by SebastianZ Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3937#issuecomment-497111331 using your GitHub account
