 - `size`  - the font size, defaults to `32`
 - `color` - the color to display for the text, defaults to `white` and can be any of the supported Blits color formats (HTML, hexadecimal or rgb(a))
 - `letterspacing` - letterspacing in pixels, defaults to `0`
-- `align` - the alignment of the text, can be `left`, `right`, or `center`, defaults to `left`. Centering text and aligning text to the right requires the `wordwrap` attribute to be set as well.
-- `wordwrap` - the max length of a line of text in pixels, words surpassing this length will be broken and wrapped onto the next line. This attribute is required when aligning center or right

+## Text overflow
+
+The text renderer offers the ability to display a _text overflow suffix_ when the text exceeds the bounds of the Text component.
+
+This functionality is automatically enabled, but requires that both a _horizontal_ boundary (using `maxwidth`) and a _vertical_ boundary (using `maxlines` or `maxheight`) are specified on the Text component.
+
+The `textoverflow`-attribute itself is not required, unless you want to use another suffix than the standard `...`. If you want _no suffix_ (and just a hard cutoff), the`textoverflow`-attribute should be set to `false` or an _empty string_.

 ## SDF and Canvas2d
 
 Compared to Lightning 2, texts have improved a lot in Lightning 3, thanks to the SDF (Signed Distance Field) Text renderer.
