SVG Marching Ants

Maxim Leyzerovich created the marching ants effect with some delectably simple SVG.

See the Pen SVG Marching Ants by Maxim Leyzerovich (@round) on CodePen.

Let’s break it apart bit by bit and see all the little parts come together.

Step 1: Draw a dang rectangle

We can set up our SVG like a square, but have the aspect ratio ignored and have it flex into whatever rectangle we’d like.

<svg viewbox='0 0 40 40' preserveAspectRatio='none'>
<rect width='40'

CSS border-radius can do that?

Nils Binder has the scoop on how to manipulate elements by using border-radius by passing eight values into the property like so:

.element {
border-radius: 30% 70% 70% 30% / 30% 30% 70% 70%;

    Did we get anywhere on that :nth-letter() thing?

    No, not really.

    I tried to articulate a need for it in 2011 in A Call for ::nth-everything.

    Jeremy takes a fresh look at this here in 2018, noting that the first published desire for this was 15 years ago. All the same use cases still exist now, but perhaps slightly more, since web typography has come along way since then. Our desire to do more (and hacks to make it happen) are all the greater.
