Note from 19 January 2021

Is there some sort of shape-outside: self; in CSS, to use an image as it's own shape? 🤔

I couldn't find it in any docs, but it would be really useful to not declare the same URL twice.

I guess an idea could be to use CSS3 `attr()` with the `url` type:

BTW, in CSS Values and Units Module Level 4:
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#valdef-attr-url:> Note: If `url()` was syntactically capable of containing functions, `attr(foo url)` would be identical to `url(attr(foo string))`.
