Layout: text in a turned text box turns with it

A turned text box (free rotation) drew its frame turned and its text
upright. Its text now turns with it about the box's centre, as Word
draws it, on screen and in PNG and PDF export: upside down when the
box is flipped across, never mirrored by a side-to-side flip.

PDF export draws item by item, to tag each paragraph, so it turns each
of the box's lines the same way, and tags the turned lines as their
paragraph's text rather than as decoration.

Clicks and the caret inside a turned box still go by its upright text.

Paragraphs above an object's anchor wrap around it when it is placed higher up the page (the page is laid out again with it known from the start, #2048; when that wrap pushes the anchor onto the next page, the first page keeps the room and the object goes with its anchor, and a layout that still hasn't settled moves the object down to its paragraph rather than over text); text in an earlier column beside it doesn't yet, nor do lines a paragraph continues into the next column (broken once, in the column it starts in) |
 | Text wrap: tight, through (contour, wrap polygon) | 🟡 | #354: lines follow the wrap polygon, or the outline worked out from the object (shape geometry; a picture's opaque pixels as a convex hull; otherwise the rectangle), turned and flipped with it, kept the left/right distance from text; Through also uses gaps inside the outline. Wrap side (`wrapText`: both sides, left only, right only, largest side per line) applies to square, tight and through wraps, turned objects included; picture outlines are convex; a picture is decoded once for all its crops, pictures whose header says they are opaque are not decoded, and at most 2^28 pixels per layout are decoded (later pictures wrap as rectangles in that layout, #3692); not compared page-for-page with Word | 1–2 |

Clicks and the caret inside a turned box still go by its upright text (`layout::tests::a_turned_text_box_turns_its_text_with_it`).

 > 2026-11-01 · An in-line picture, shape or chart is raised or lowered by its run's position (Word's `w:position`, Font › Advanced › Position): lowered, it reaches below the baseline and the line grows down to hold it (at most until its top is on the baseline); raised, it stands clear of the baseline. It used to stand on the baseline whatever the position (`layout::tests::an_inline_picture_moves_with_its_runs_position`).
