title: How can I set a maximal height for drawing text in an HTML5 <canvas>?
body: <p>I would like to know how I can set a maximal height for drawing text in a <code>&lt;canvas&gt;</code>.</p>
  
  <p>As a 4th argument for <code>fillText()</code> I can give a maximal width, but I also want to limit the vertical space for text, so that all the text which is too much is just hidden.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible, and if so, how?</p>
