+# <text-overflow>
+
+The `<text-overflow>` CSS type sets how Textual wraps text.
+
+## Syntax
+
+The [`<text-overflow>`](./text_overflow.md) type can take any of the following values:
+
+| Value      | Description                                                                         |
+| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `clip`     | Overflowing text will be clipped (the overflow portion is removed from the output). |
+| `fold`     | Overflowing text will fold on to the next line.                                     |
+| `ellipsis` | Overflowing text will be truncate and the last character replaced with an ellipsis. |
+
+## Examples
+
+In the following example we show the output of each of the values of `text_overflow`.
+
+The widgets all have [text wrapping][`text-wrap`](./text_wrap.md) disabled.
+Since the string is longer than the width, it will overflow.
+
+In the first (top) widget, "text-overflow" is set to "clip" which clips any text that is overflowing, resulting in a single line.
+
+In the second widget, "text-overflow" is set to "fold", which causes the overflowing text to *fold* on to the next line.
+When text folds like this, it won't respect word boundaries--so you may get words broken across lines.
+
+In the third widget, "text-overflow" is set to "ellipsis", which is similar to "clip", but with the last character set to an ellipsis.
+This option is useful to indicate to the user that there may be more text.

+# Text-wrap

+The `text-wrap` style set how Textual should wrap text.
+The default value is `wrap` which will word-wrap text.
+You can also set this style to `nowrap` which will disable wrapping entirely.
