Since this requires the installation of an additional xml file for
firefox support, it is provided as a pattern.
To install:
compass -p ellipsis
To use:
Mix +ellipsis into a selector targeting the textual element that will
truncate via ellipsis. By default, ellipsis text is set tono-wrap. Pass
false as the first argument if you don't want that.
Note:
Firefox is the lame browser in this respect, it requires a lot of bending
over backwards and has many quirky behaviors. Please read the blog post at
http://mattsnider.com/css/css-string-truncation-with-ellipsis/ for a full
explanation of the issues. Also note that ellipsis text is white-space
sensitive in Firefox, an issue that is sure to affect Haml users more than
most.
