TL;DR: I built a CSS-only (~ish) solution for multiline truncated text with read more button. The other day, truncated text came up during a discussion in the office, and I since wondered if CSS has come far enough to be able to do truncated text right, that is, supporting the following: Multiple lines “Show more” […]

The post Multiline truncated text with “show more” button (with just CSS) appeared first on Paul Bakaus' blog.

This blog post is mostly a bookmark for myself, as I’ve spent too much time researching this problem in the past: Can you ‘contain‘ a <div> or similar element the same way object-fit works with replaced media (images/videos), with nothing but CSS?

The idea of a Swiss sovereign wealth fund (SWF) which could use a part of the country’s massive reserves for investments arose after Switzerland had established in 2011 its currency link to the Euro. Since then various sovereign wealth options have been discussed, from a SWF with a savings mandate to a fund with a strategic investment mandate, a private equity-type fund that invests in technology start-ups and protects against hostile foreign takeovers of strategic companies.
