<title>CSS test: balancing and line-clamp</title>
<link rel='author' title='Andreu Botella' href='mailto:abotella@igalia.com'>
<meta name="assert" content="If the element is affected by line-clamp, the clamping effect is applied first, then the remaining lines are balanced. If the last line is displaced by the line-clamp ellipsis, the content of the previous lines should be balanced into the displaced line if possible.">
