Why?

There are lots of polygon building utilities out there. They all generate either embedded SVGs, or they use CSS clip paths to clip the shape of standard divs.

The thing they all have in common is their inability to reliably contain text that "flows" into the shape to fill the polygon.

This is where HTML Polygon differs. This component builds an HTML element that both looks like a polygon, and behaves like a polygon.

You can use HTML Polygen to emulate the effects of the proposed CSS Shapes property shape-inside.
