Imagine that I have a situation where the text is larger than the container , so I'll use text-overflow: ellipsis to put the 3 dots ... showing that the text goes on and on inside container has more content, so far so good.

The problem is that I want to customize my ... with another color and wanted to bold . Hand did not find a way to do this. I would like something like the image below

Isthereanywaytocustomizetext-overflow:ellipsisinastyledifferentfromtheonealreadyappliedtothecontainerwiththetext?

WhatIhavesofaristhis:

div.b {
    white-space: nowrap; 
    width: 70px; 
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis; 
    border: 1px solid #000000;
}

<div class="b">Hello world!</div>

I think this is what you want. removed overflow English

You have to rewrite the default text-styling

you will need <span> (or any other) element

.text-overflow
{
  color: blue;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 20px;

  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  width: 100px;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

.text-overflow > span
{
  font-weight: normal;
  color: black;
  font-size: 14px;
}

<div class="text-overflow">
<span>Here is some very nice text indeed. So this is getting long</span>
</div>
