shapepar.sty  by Donald Arseneau.

\shapepar: a macro to typeset paragraphs in a specific shape. The
size is adjusted automatically so that the entire shape is filled
with the provided text. There can be no displayed math, and no 
"\vadjust" material (no "\vspace").  These macros work for both 
LaTeX and Plain TeX.  For LaTeX, specify \usepackage{shapepar}, 
or for Plain, \input shapepar.sty.

shapepar – A macro to type­set para­graphs in spe­cific shapes

\shapepar is a macro to type­set para­graphs in a spe­cific shape. The size is ad­justed au­to­mat­i­cally so that the en­tire shape is filled with text. There may not be dis­played maths or ‘\vad­just’ ma­te­rial (no \vs­pace) in the ar­gu­ment of \shapepar. The macros work for both LaTeX and plain TeX. For LaTeX, spec­ify \usep­a­ck­age{shapepar}; for Plain, \in­put shapepar.sty. \shapepar works in terms of user-de­fined shapes, though the pack­age does pro­vide some pre­de­fined shapes: so you can form any para­graph into the form of a heart by putting \heart­par{some­text...} in­side your doc­u­ment. The te­dium of cre­at­ing these poly­gon def­i­ni­tions may be al­le­vi­ated by us­ing the shapepatch ex­ten­sion to trans­fig which will con­vert xfig out­put to \shapepar poly­gon form.
