Gap 19: ODT in-line frames placed against the text; saved on the baseline

Found with LibreOffice's style templates.

- An in-line frame placed against the text (`style:vertical-rel` "text"
  or "char", with `middle`, `top` or `bottom`) stood on the baseline. It
  is now raised or lowered against the text's height, from the size of
  the text it sits in. Measured in LibreOffice, `middle` centres the
  frame on the text: its middle half the ascent less the descent above
  the baseline. Placement against the line still stands on the
  baseline.
- An in-line picture or chart was saved with no placement style. In
  LibreOffice that puts it at the line's top (measured: the title beside
  the Finances logo moved up 19 pt). It is now saved standing on the
  baseline ("top" to "baseline"), as WordCraft and Word show it.

Two templates' round-trip differences fall from 1,874 and 1,433 pixels
to 521 and 586. Across the corpus the difference falls from 47k to 45k,
and no document gets worse.

Left in these templates:
- template instantiation: LibreOffice refreshes a template's fixed dates
  and fills its sender fields from the user's data when opening it;
- a first-page footer's frame placed against the page content;
- a page background picture centred in the margins rather than on the
  page.
gaps.md row 19 lists them.

A header or footer whose style states no height (or that has none) was 0 tall; it's LibreOffice's 0.5 cm (measured), so the text no longer moves up. The letter round-trips to 116 differing pixels (from 4,223) (`text_boxes::a_frames_drawn_stroke_is_its_line_when_it_has_no_border`, `headers::a_header_without_a_stated_height_is_half_a_centimetre`) |
 | 2026-11-02 | trivial | ODT, found with LibreOffice's agendas: saving wrote every table's first row as a header row (`table:table-header-rows`), repeated at the top of each page, because a table style's header row (on by default in Word's table look) was taken for Repeat as header row; a table crossing a page showed its first row twice. Only rows set to repeat are written so. The agendas round-trip to about 145 differing pixels (from 5,269 and 5,086), their text the same (`tables::only_rows_set_to_repeat_are_written_as_header_rows`) |
 | 2026-11-02 | trivial | ODT, found with LibreOffice's report templates and one-page résumé. A paragraph's padding on a side without a border (measured: LibreOffice gives it room) was dropped; it's kept, laid out (see layout-parity) and written back. Unequal columns (`style:column` `style:rel-width` and indents, on pages and sections) were made equal; they keep their widths, written back as shares, without the gap LibreOffice ignores them beside. Columns with no stated gap have none (it had been Word's 0.5 in). A paragraph starting a column (`fo:break-before="column"`) didn't; it starts with Word's column break, written back on the paragraph. The report templates round-trip to 0–11 differing pixels (from 9,600), the résumé to 24 (from 6,286) (`para_borders::padding_without_a_border_keeps_its_room`, `odt::tests::unequal_columns_keep_their_widths_and_columns_without_a_gap_have_none`, `odt::tests::a_paragraph_starting_a_column_starts_with_a_column_break`) |
