How to use it:

1. Load the LC Text Shortener plugin's files after jQuery library and we're ready to go.

<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/lc_text_shortener.min.js"></script>

2. Call the function on the container whose text will be dynamically truncated based on its height.

<section id="shortened_txt">
  Text Block Here
</section>

$(function(){
  $('#shortened_txt').lc_txt_shortener();
});

3. Specify the character(s) displayed at the end of the text after it has been truncated.

$(function(){
  $('#shortened_txt').lc_txt_shortener('[..]');
});

4. Truncate the text to a specific height instead (300px in this example).

$(function(){
  $('#shortened_txt').lc_txt_shortener('[..]', 300);
});

5. Determine which HTML tags have to be maintained during shortening.

$(function(){
  $('#shortened_txt').lc_txt_shortener('[..]', 300, 'strong, a , em');
});
