Gap 19: ODT leading read as an at-least spacing

LibreOffice's leading (`style:line-spacing`, extra space between lines)
has no WordCraft line spacing mode. It was read as a multiple of a
12 pt line, which spreads the extra space differently from LibreOffice,
so the paragraph started too high. It is now read as at least a 12 pt
line and the leading: the extra space goes above each line, as
LibreOffice draws leading (it also leaves some after the last line,
which isn't followed).

A LibreOffice spacing document went from 6,190 px apart after a round
trip to 2,973, and WordCraft's drawing of it from 8,570 to 5,521.

Regression test: `leading_is_at_least_a_line_and_the_leading`.

A copy of one equation alone also goes in the clipboard's MathML formats (Windows "MathML" and "MathML Presentation", macOS `public.mathml.presentation` and `public.mathml`; W3C MathML 3 §6.2.4), which Microsoft documents Word reading first when it pastes math (#1297; the paste into Word is not yet verified); Ruby (furigana, phonetic guides) is written as `<ruby>base<rt>reading</rt></ruby>` in the base text's formatting and read back from `<ruby>`/`<rb>`/`<rt>` (`<rp>` fallback parentheses dropped; malformed markup keeps its text), so docx/doc → HTML → doc keeps the annotation; HTML states no alignment, size or raise, so the Phonetic Guide's defaults apply (#1681) CRLF and lone CR input newlines normalize before tokenization, preserving preformatted lines and leaving decoded character references separate (#4810). |

| 2026-11-01 | trivial | Flat OpenDocument text (`.fodt`) opened and saved (Open, Save As, the CLI, the web app): taken apart into a package's files and put together again, its pictures inline as base64 and its formulas inline in their objects; LibreOffice's own flat documents round-trip as their packages do. ODT fidelity re-estimated at ~80% (tables of contents and indexes, field formats and references, bookmarks over text, page settings and flat files since ~72%; still missing: embedded charts and other objects, form controls, password-protected files, tracked formatting changes, variables, drop caps) |
