Et molestiae hic earum repellat aliquid est doloribus delectus. Enim illum odio porro ut omnis
dolor debitis natus. Voluptas possimus deserunt sit delectus est saepe nihil. Qui voluptate

```
To remove any line-clamping, use `line-clamp-none`:
```html
Et molestiae hic earum repellat aliquid est doloribus delectus. Enim illum odio porro ut omnis
dolor debitis natus. Voluptas possimus deserunt sit delectus est saepe nihil. Qui voluptate
possimus et quia. Eligendi voluptas voluptas dolor cum. Rerum est quos quos id ut molestiae fugit.
```
## 🔧 Theme
A `lineClamp` section is added to the theme. Its values are used for looking up the value. If no value is found the given parameter is used.
```js
setup({
theme: {
lineClamp: {
card: '5',
},
},
})
tw('line-clamp-card')
// => -webkit-line-clamp:5
// Not found in theme => use as is
tw('line-clamp-7')
// => -webkit-line-clamp:7
```
