For longer content, you can add a `.text-truncate` class to truncate the text with an ellipsis. **Requires `display: inline-block` or `display: block`.**

<Example code={`

      This text is quite long, and will be truncated once displayed.

    This text is quite long, and will be truncated once displayed.
  `} />
