Bug Description
it would be great, if one could align text to a document baseline grid when
it is flowed in boxes.
A baseline grid is just like lined paper. No matter, if you wrap around an
image or move a box, the text will always be written on the lines of the
paper. This gives layouts a much nicer appearance.
Unfortunately I don't have a clue, so far, how to implement this.

i think this feature can be implemented defining a "master-guide-line" at duplicated" to cover all the page.
top (or bottom) of page, this guide-line should than be
"automatically-
the main problem is that text-boxes can't automatically align to a
guide-line at bottom of text (for example: if there's a "c" and a "g", the
attachment should be at bottom of "c", not at bottom of "g") but, for now,
it's align at the "text-box".
the attachment of a text to a guid-line at bottom of text (and not at
bottom of it's box), however, is a feature that i think should be a
"must-have" (obviously before and inipendently-of the one in this item).
actually, the feature can be manually achieved adding a "manual level"
guide-line", zooming a lot, manually align text-boxes.
i must agree with the submitter, i think the "baseline-feature" will be a
must-have feature, useful for a further step in "professional-
instrument. i suggest, that "baseline" (if implemented) should be turned
on/off for a text-box.
