Create the basic HTML structure with Bootstrap

Write the basic HTML5 structure with lang="en", charset="UTF-8", and viewport meta tags. Include the Bootstrap 5 CSS CDN link inside the <head>. Inside the <body>, add a <div> with class container and inside it a <div> with class row. This sets up the page layout using Bootstrap.

Remember to include the Bootstrap CSS link from a CDN inside the <head> section.

Add a fixed-width box with a long text paragraph

Inside the <div class="row">, add a <div> with Bootstrap classes col-12 col-md-6 border p-3 to create a box that is full width on small screens and half width on medium and larger screens. Inside this box, add a <p> element with the exact text:

"This is a very long product description that might overflow or wrap depending on the container width and CSS rules applied."

Use Bootstrap grid classes col-12 col-md-6 for responsive width and add border and p-3 for visible box and padding.

Apply Bootstrap text wrapping and overflow classes

Add the Bootstrap class text-wrap to the <p> element to ensure the text wraps inside the box. Also add the class text-truncate to the same <p> element to demonstrate text truncation with ellipsis if the text is too long. Keep both classes on the paragraph.

                This is a very long product description that might overflow or wrap depending on the container width and CSS rules applied.

Need a hint?

Add both text-wrap and text-truncate classes inside the class attribute of the paragraph.

Make the box width fixed and add overflow hidden

Add the Bootstrap class w-100 to the box <div> with classes col-12 col-md-6 border p-3 to make it full width inside its column. Also add the class overflow-hidden to the same <div> to hide any overflow content. This completes the text wrapping and overflow control.
