Line break modes are not working on html text type

[ziomek64]

Description

As in the title, can't get line break modes such as headtruncation or tailtruncation, or any for that matter to work with html text type.

Is this intended, or is this some sort of limitation? It's not mentioned in label docs.

I was only able to test it on Android since I'm on linux.

Maybe this specific case isn't mentioned explicitly, but in the docs there is this

For example, Android supports only a subset of HTML tags, focusing on basic styling and formatting for block level elements such as and

So I think its safe to say that this is just not supported and you probably want to find another way to do it. The .NET MAUI Label control has truncation, why not use that one?

I am using a label, but with TextType set to html, since I'm getting html from API. And it works great but truncation from maui is not working for me

@samhouts Is this closed as not planned? I've explained I am using a label.

@ziomek64 Can you link to a small reproduction project, maybe? It might make the problem more clear. Thanks!

There are 3 borders with labels

1. Normal text
2. Normal text with html text type (truncation not working)
3. Text with html tags and html text type (truncation not working)

As I said, html tags work great, but truncation from maui label is not working
