How to fix content with div skew?

Question

I am currently transforming a <div> element using the skewX(-18deg) value, the problem is when I insert text into it I cannot prevent it from overflowing.

The element inside the skewed container is transformed back to normal using skewX(18deg).

The final result should look like this:

$(document).ready(function() {

  var curPage = 1;
  var numOfPages = $(".skw-page").length;
  var animTime = 1000;
  var scrolling = false;
  var pgPrefix = ".skw-page-";

  function pagination() {
    scrolling = true;

    $(pgPrefix + curPage).removeClass("inactive").addClass("active");
    $(pgPrefix + (curPage - 1)).addClass("inactive");
    $(pgPrefix + (curPage + 1)).removeClass("active");

    setTimeout(function() {
      scrolling = false;
    }, animTime);
  };

  function navigateUp() {
    if (curPage === 1) return;
    curPage--;
    pagination();
  };

  function navigateDown() {
    if (curPage === numOfPages) return;
    curPage++;
    pagination();
  };

  $(document).on("mousewheel DOMMouseScroll", function(e) {
    if (scrolling) return;
    if (e.originalEvent.wheelDelta > 0 || e.originalEvent.detail < 0) {
      navigateUp();
    } else {
      navigateDown();
    }
  });

  $(document).on("keydown", function(e) {
    if (scrolling) return;
    if (e.which === 38) {
      navigateUp();
    } else if (e.which === 40) {
      navigateDown();
    }
  });

});

@skav link was a good direction, but for some reason shape-inside is much less reliable than shape-outside.

So here's how I solved this:

you can insert a div in your description div and style it with an outershape to match the skewed image on the right. Obviously, you'd put the background to transparent, i made it green so you could see it's effect.

Also, for your image, using a clip-path would require less lines of code. Putting your text in p tags made it more clear and adding ­ in words make the justified text prettier.

for html:

<div class="skw-page__content">
          <div class="triangle"></div>
          <h2 class="skw-page__heading">Page 1</h2>
          <div class="skw-page__description">
            <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, con&shy;sect&shy;etur adi&shy;pisi&shy;cing elit. Accu&shy;sa&shy;mus ha&shy;rum qui, pla&shy;ceat fugit de&shy;lec&shy;tus ma&shy;xime volupta&shy;tibus perspi&shy;ciatis, quia sit it&shy;aque!</p>
            <img src="https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/142996/img-test.jpg" alt="random nice picture of a montain reflecting ine a blue lake"/>
            <p>Qui&shy;bus&shy;dam lib&shy;ero, cupi&shy;di&shy;ta&shy;te aspe&shy;rio&shy;res tem&shy;pora quos porro in&shy;ven&shy;tore? Prae&shy;sen&shy;tium ape&shy;riam dele&shy;ni&shy;ti nam a a&shy;li&shy;quid sequi ea perspi&shy;ciatis error recu&shy;sandae enim, do&shy;lorem quae.</p>
          </div> 

for css:

  &__description {
    font-size: 14px;
    width: 100%;
    hyphens: auto;
    text-align: justify;
    padding: 0;
}
img{
      min-width: 0px;
      max-width: 75%;
      min-height: 0px;
      margin: 2% 0;
      clip-path: polygon(0% 0%, 100% 0%, 78% 100%, 0% 100%);
  }

.triangle {
    width: 300px;
    height: 100%;
    background-color: transparent;
    shape-margin: 0 0 0 2%;
    clip-path: polygon(98% 0%, 100% 0%, 100% 100%, 50% 100%);
    shape-outside: polygon(95% 0%, 100% 0%, 100% 100%, 50% 100%);
    background: green;
    float: right;
    right: 0;
}

Voilà :)
