To truncate text, use the class u-truncate
.
When applied to a parent container, it will truncate any elements placed inside, so long as the parent's width is set. When applied to individual elements within a parent, e.g. a table cell, only those elements will be truncated.
Note: u-truncate
will affect any tooltips placed inside.
