Option to use data-lines (or similar) on the element

[m9dfukc]

Would be nice to define a data element on the tag which states the amount of lines it should shorten to. Doing this manually in a loop for now but would be nice to have this build in.

I agree it would be a nice feature. For now, I'm also using this loop, which is simply enough:

$('[data-truncate="true"]').each(function( index, element ) {
$(element).trunk8({
lines: $(this).data("truncate-lines")
});
});
