This is one possible approach i can think of
.crop {width:100px;overflow:hidden;height:50px;line-height:50px;}
This way the long text will still wrap but will not be visible due to overflow
set, and by setting line-height
same as height
we are making sure only one line will ever be displayed.
See demo here and nice overflow property description with interactive examples.
You can use:
overflow:hidden
to hide the text outside the zone.
Note that it may cut the last letter (so a part of the last letter will still be displayed). There is no pure-CSS way to cut the text letter-by-letter.
