Custom code can be a useful tool for creating line breaks on a webpage, particularly in platforms like Webflow where certain layout options may not be natively available. One way to use custom code for creating line breaks is by applying a class to an element that includes specific CSS properties.

For example, thedisplay: -webkit-box andoverflow: hidden properties can be used to create a flexible box layout for the element and hide any content that overflows its boundaries. The-webkit-line-clamp: 2 property can then be used to limit the number of lines displayed within the element to a specific number, such as two lines.

In addition to using line clamping to create visually appealing layouts, custom code can also be used to control the layout of a webpage in other ways. For example, thedisplay: block property can be used to force an element to start on a new line, and thepadding ormargin properties can be used to add space around elements.

Overall, custom code can be a useful tool for creating line breaks and controlling the layout of a webpage in Webflow and other platforms. By using a combination of HTML and CSS techniques, designers and developers can create clean, well-organized layouts that enhance the user experience.
