skewElementElementElement functions can be customized with set and show rules.
Element
Element functions can be customized with 
set and show rules.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
#skew(ax: -12deg)[
  This is some fake italic text.
]

The origin will stay fixed during the operation.

Settable
Settable parameters can be set using the 
set rule, changing the default value used thereafter.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.
