Let's say we have a box with some short paragraphs:

<div style="overflow:hidden">
    <p>Some text</p>
    <p>Some text</p>
    <p>Some text</p>
    <p>Some text</p>
</div>

The height of the box is variable, so sometimes one of the paragraphs' text is partially hidden.

Is there a CSS property that would force the paragraph to either display fully or not at all, or would this need to be calculated using javascript?
