@emilio I wasn't following along very well with the discussion about max-lines, could you share what properties would get the desired behavior?
@fantasai what is missing from max-lines behavior to achieve this?
I tried out some of the properties with the experimental implementation in chromium, and the container was sized correcly but when I scroll down to see more content, the subsequent elements were not rendered as if they were visibility: hidden:
```html
<div id=container>
<div>one</div>
<div>two</div>
<div>three</div>
<div>four</div>
<div>five</div>
</div>
<style>
#container {
max-lines: 3;
block-ellipsis: no-ellipsis;
continue: collapse;
overflow: auto;
}
#container > div {
padding: 2px;
border: 2px solid black;
}
</style>
```
@dbaron do you have any opinions on using max-lines for this?
