Text wrap to shape

open.skies · 07-22-2021, 07:47 AM

Calibre returns the error:

Unknown property ‘shape-outside’. [stylesheet.css]
Properties should be known (listed in CSS3 specification) or be a vendor-prefixed property.

Any suggestions on the work-around?
Thanks

workaround for what? its a warning about an unknown property simply ignore it if you want to use the property anyway.

Shape-outside allows text to wrap to a polygon, among othe shapes.
It works well in the Calibre preview, and in the viewer.
But in line with the Check warning, it does not work at all on either an e-pub reader or Kindle.
Is there a wrap-to-polygon property for css3?
Or can one create a bespoke property that does?
Please?

Not that I know of, you can simulate it using various tricks such as tables, floats and the like, some googling should get you examples.

There was a recent discussion of this property in the thread Clip-path and shape-outside help.
