Alternative to nowrap

Hello!

Is there an argument for cutting when the text is too long and that it should make a return to the line. Knowing that I do not want the location of the break is fixed in the text, since some have larger screens than others. For questions graphics, some lines should not return to the line, whatever their length. Not that we should absolutely see the whole title, but because it's a list, and if one element is two lines in a list, it does not.

Traditionally we treat the following lines of one element of a list of different elements were themselves, for example, a greater spacing between the elements and a tighter spacing between the lines of the same element, a chip before the first line of each item as it follows the lines of an element has no chip ...

Now, apart from this consideration, there are several approaches to a solution to your question:

1. Manage it with CSS at the block element or <ul> <ol>, which will not necessarily be on very aesthetic line endings: letter may cut into the middle and nothing that signals a break.
2. shorten the text of the line (PHP ...) by replacing the end with "(...)". In the CMS I use, there uen extension for that, I am not an expert in PHP ...

Both seemed a last resort in this case.

I am far from being a graphic designer, I'm well aware.

1 - cutting the text: yes => php or javascript

2 - after the screen width: yes => javascript

white-space: nowrap

Note that space with the replacement do not work as the browser will wrap the text after the other characters, as one after a dash ... Yes, it is a non-breaking dash too, but how long do you want to play with wordarounds incomplete?
