There is no native CSS property for truncating text. However, you can use the ellipsis character to display truncated text.

p {
  max-width: 800px;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

Note we have given the element a fixed width. This is made because the element needs a certain width.
