<title>CSS test: balancing and line-clamp</title>

<meta name="assert" content="If the element is affected by line-clamp, the clamping effect is applied first, then the remaining lines are balanced. This also happens if the balanced paragraph is within the line-clamp container, not the line-clamp container itself.">

unbalanced layout without clamping:
|-----------|
|abc def |
|AB CD EF GH|
|IJ KL MN O |
|PQ RST |
|uvwxyz |
|-----------|
unbalanced layout after clamping:
|-----------|
|abc def |

|IJ KL MN O…|
|-----------|
There is no way to balance the uppercase lines without changing the number of
lines.
