Split div with diagonal line

Question

How would you split a div into 2 parts (both containing horizontal text) by a diagonal line?

e.g. see this where 1 has a rectangular background image and 2 has text

Answer 1

You can do it with a pseudo element rotated like this:

body {
  background-color: #00bcd4;
}
.main {
  margin: 50px;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
  width: 350px;
}
.image {
  background: url(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/ca/9b/ca/ca9bca4db9afb09158b76641ea09ddb6.jpg) center center no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  height: 200px;
}
.text {
  background-color: white;
  padding: 30px;
  position: relative;
}
.text > div {
  position: relative;
  z-index: 1;
}
.text:before {
  content: "";
  background-color: white;
  position: absolute;
  height: 100%;
  width: 120%;
  top: -20px;
  left: -10%;
  transform: rotate(5deg);
  z-index: 0;
}
