What sort of cross is this? A seeing person with a little general knowledge may realise that a cross might be smaller than the flag itself (like that on the flag of Switzerland) or it might be diagonal (like that on the flag of Scotland). Describe the cross. " A red flies from a flagstaff. It is red,

This is an extremely common design pattern in web design, and it's impossible to achieve with pure CSS alone. No, generated content is not an option, it doesn't work in Internet Explorer, and even if it did, you can't generate more than one box with it, so you are screwed if you are already using

Consider this: an illustration to accompany a paragraph of text is desired. This illustration is not required to understand the topic at hand. The paragraph already has a background image. The illustration must affect the line boxes so that the text remains legible and the illustration is not

Where is it shifted? Flags have a front and back, a top and bottom, a left and right. Provided the flag is depicted the correct way around, (and it is) then it is simpler to say "...to the left" than " towards the

by examples. Nor should it be prescriptive of good HTML style (which, by the way, isn't a misconception because it's not a matter of fact; it's a matter of style).

That gives us: "A flag flies from a flagstaff. It is red, divided vertically and horizontally by a white cross, the vertical of which is shifted to the left."
