One thing that might be a bit tricky about CSS exclusions is that it simply defines a
shape or path for the text to flow around and not necessarily a shape or path to be
rendered. In other words, the two highlighted lines of code in the previous code ex-
ample are completely independent. The only reason that the two polygon definitions
resemble each other closely is for visual effects. If we had used an image, a
div
, or
any other HTML element inside that block of text, the CSS
shape-outside
prop-
erty would still cause the text to flow around that element the same way, no matter
what physical shape that element has. Simply adding a CSS
shape
attribute to an
element will not alter its own visual properties.
