<title>CSS Overflow: `line-clamp: auto` margin collapsing accounts for self-collapsing boxes</title>

<meta name="assert" content="With `line-clamp: auto`, if a clamp point might fall inside a box, its margins are accounted for correctly. This is the case even for self-collapsing boxes before the clamp point.">
<style>
.clamp {
line-clamp: auto;
max-height: calc(4lh + 2 * 5px);
font: 16px / 32px serif;
background-color: orange;
}
.inner {
white-space: pre;
margin: 5px;
background-color: yellow;
}
.collapse-through {
margin: 5px;
}
.abspos {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
background-color: skyblue;
}
</style>
<!--
The bottom margins of both the first `.inner` and of `.collapse-through` end
at the clamp boundary, since the bottom margin of `.inner` collapses through
`.collapse-through`. This also puts the static position of `.abspos` at the
clamp boundary, which means it will be visible.
