In HTML5, can I create an irregularly shaped text box?

Just to be clear, I don't start with a rectangular text box and float around an irregular image. I create an arbitrary form, and then I type the text to fit better into this form. Is there a jquery plugin or in html5 canvas? Is it still possible?

If you can provide fields describing the form, you can use CSS3 Regions . However, accessibility in your target browsers can be quite poor. This is probably the mentioned Šime specification.

SVG also claims support for this in the SVG 1.2 working draft . I do not understand if this made a recommendation to W3 or is it really supported in browsers.

Update: The answers to this question suggest that the SVG approach will not work right now.

The working standard for HTML5 describes current features. Desired functions are not specified in the working standard, so you need a script.

Text text fields to provide the necessary functionality.
