If you use javascript to set when the article paragraph exceeds two lines, the showMore button will appear.
If there are no more than two lines, showMore will not be displayed. At present, I use the word count method to set a problem, that is, it has more than two lines. It's OK, but the number of words has not reached 40, so the showMore button will not appear. I want to use the number of lines to judge, but how should I write it?

$(function(){
    let len = 40;
    $('.info_content').each(function(){ 
        if($(this).html().trim().length >len){   
            var str=$(this).html().substring(0,len-1) "<button class='info-more'>...showMore</button>";
            $(this).html(str);
        } 
    });
});  

 .info_content{
    width: 250px;
    font-size: 15px;
    letter-spacing:1px;
    line-height: 1.5;
    margin-bottom: 8px;
    letter-spacing:0;
    overflow:hidden;
    text-overflow:clip;
    display:-webkit-box;
    -webkit-box-orient:vertical;  
    -webkit-line-clamp:2;
   }

I came up with this solution but rather than having a button it's easier to make it happen with those elements.

here is the solution I came up with. (click the text to show more, click again to hide)

$(this).on("click",function(e){
  const c =e.target.className.includes("c2");
  if(c){
  $(e.target).removeClass("c2");  
  }else{
  $(e.target).addClass("c2");}
});

 .info_content{
    width: 250px;
    font-size: 15px;
    letter-spacing:1px;
    line-height: 1.5;
    margin-bottom: 8px;
    letter-spacing:0;
    overflow:hidden;
    text-overflow:clip;
    display:-webkit-box;
    -webkit-box-orient:vertical;  
    -webkit-line-clamp:2;
   }
.c2{
  -webkit-line-clamp: unset;
}

Create dummy element with a<br>a to simulate element with 2 lines.
Get its height and compare with other element.
If given element is bigger than dummy element add button after it (in will not work because it will be placed at the end of string which is hidden)

I have added inserAfter method from this answer to make adding button cleaner.

document.onreadystatechange = () => {
    if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
        const maxHeight = getElementMaxHeight('info_content');
        document.querySelectorAll('.info_content').forEach(infoContent => {
            infoContent.style.display = 'block';
            if (infoContent.clientHeight > maxHeight) {
                const button = document.createElement('button');
                button.classList.add('info-more');
                button.innerText = '...showMore';
                infoContent.insertAfter(button);
            }
            infoContent.style.display = '-webkit-box';
        });
    }
};

const getElementMaxHeight = (className) => {
    const element = document.createElement('div');
    element.id = 'oyifysbfuisetfsiufgse';
    element.classList.add(className);
    element.innerHTML = 'a<br>a';
    element.style.display = 'block';
    element.style.position = 'absolute';

    document.body.append(element);

    const height = element.clientHeight;

    document.getElementById('oyifysbfuisetfsiufgse').remove();

    return height;
}

Element.prototype.insertAfter = function (newElement) {
    this.parentNode.insertBefore(newElement, this.nextSibling);
}

.info_content {
    width: 250px;
    font-size: 15px;
    line-height: 1.5;
    margin-bottom: 8px;
    letter-spacing: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: clip;
    display: -webkit-box;
    -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
    -webkit-line-clamp: 2;
}
