I think SVG is going to play a huge role in the very near future. If I’m not mistaken though, other elements around an SVG will still react and flow around it as though it’s a rectangle.

You can make the SVG to look like anything you want, but other elements will still flow around it as though it’s a rectangle. Don’t hold me to that though. I’m not 100% sure, but I thought that’s what happens.

I think where you see text flowing in and around an SVG some css shapes or exclusions have been added to the SVG
