How To Add Ellipsis To A Sentence In CSS!

An ellipsis, or ellipses in the plural form, is a punctuation mark of three dots (. . .) that shows an omission of words, represents a pause, or suggests there’s something left unsaid.

When to use :

1) Omitted words-

2)Pause for dramatic effect or suspense-
An ellipsis can also be used to depict a small pause or silence in text, which is ideal for a dramatic effect. Often, the ellipsis comes before an anticipated part, like the punchline of a joke. The idea is to build suspense before a big reveal.

With sweaty palms, I reached out for the knob and threw the door open to reveal . . . a lost puppy.

3)Trailing off into silence-

4)To suggest there’s more-
When an ellipsis comes at the end of a complete sentence, it’s usually a dramatic device to insinuate that there’s more to come. One of the most common examples is the phrase to be continued . . ., where the ellipsis hints that there’s more to the story.
