Ellipsed is a lightweight JavaScript library that truncates block text to a specified number of visible lines and adds a customizable ellipsis (default '…') at the cut‑off point. It works in browsers (IE 9+ and modern Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Edge) and can be used via ES 6, CommonJS, AMD, or as a global script, making it ideal for web developers who need responsive, multi‑line text overflow handling without relying on CSS tricks.
