In HTML5, can I make an irregular shaped text box?

Question

Just to be clear, I am not starting with a rectangular text box and floating around an irregular image. I am creating an arbitrary shape then typing in text to best fit into this shape. Is there a jquery plugin or in html5 canvas? Is this even possible yet?

Answer 1

The working standard for HTML5 outlines the current features. The functionality you desire is not mentioned in the working standard, so you will need a script.

Creative Text Boxes looks to provide the functionality you need.
