To keep the recognizability high even on small strings, there should be a way to define parts of the content, which should be preserved, i.e. According to the description of text-overflow at Mozilla and the definition in the current W3C CSS UI module spec there's currently only the possibility to clip strings at the beginning and their end.įor recognizability it's sometimes better to crop the string in the middle.
