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={`<!-- Block level -->
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-2 text-truncate">
      This text is quite long, and will be truncated once displayed.
    </div>
  </div>

  <!-- Inline level -->
  <span class="d-inline-block text-truncate" style="max-width: 150px;">
    This text is quite long, and will be truncated once displayed.
  </span>`} />
