Have a text to output in div printed with not fixed-pitch font. This div height permit to print only 4 lines of text. Is it possible to track automatic browser word wrap, so I can find position in text, when it has reached 4 lines and to cut away next lines?
Any suggestions using Javascript manipulating with DOM or maybe text line length calculation with PHP help?

    How about using overflow: hidden?

    Say you had a font-size of 12px, and a line-height of 16px.

    4 lines * 16px = 64px

.hide-extra-lines {
    height: 64px;
    overflow: hidden;
}

    Is this what you’re after?
