# Skew
## `skew`
Skews content.
Skews an element in horizontal and/or vertical direction. The layout will
act as if the element was not skewed unless you specify `{reflow: true}`.
# Example
```example
#skew(ax: -12deg)[
This is some fake italic text.
]
```
## Parameters
### ax
The horizontal skewing angle.
### ay
The vertical skewing angle.
### origin
The origin of the skew transformation.
The origin will stay fixed during the operation.
### reflow
Whether the skew transformation impacts the layout.
If set to `{false}`, the skewed content will retain the bounding box of
the original content. If set to `{true}`, the bounding box will take the
transformation of the content into account and adjust the layout accordingly.
### body *(required)*
The content to skew.
## Returns
- content
