-### Grid Integration
+#### Truncating Text within a Container
+
+In most case, it is recommended to use the `Text` component with the `ellipsis` prop to truncate text inside a container while using the parent `Container` component to set the actual boundary box for the text.
+
+<Storybook.Demo>
+  <Container maxWidth="200px">
+    <Text ellipsis>This content is hidden and ellipsed</Text>
+  </Container>
+</Storybook.Demo>
+```jsx
+<Container maxWidth="200px">
+  <Text ellipsis>This content is hidden and ellipsed</Text>
+</Container>
+```
+
+There is however another way to truncate text within a container by using the `ellipsis` prop on the parent `Container` component. This way, if you have multiple lines of text, they will all be truncated with an ellipsis.
+
+<Storybook.Demo>
+  <Container ellipsis maxWidth="200px">
+    <Text as="span">This content is hidden and ellipsed</Text>
+    <Text as="span">This content is hidden and ellipsed</Text>
+  </Container>
+</Storybook.Demo>
+```jsx
+<Container ellipsis maxWidth="200px">
+  <div>This content is hidden and ellipsed</div>
+  <div>This content is hidden and ellipsed</div>
+</Container>
+``` ### Grid Integration
 
 The `area` prop supports CSS Grid integration:
