About embedded morph vertical alignment

Embedded morphs in text are currently aligned on line top.

If you put many of different height on the same line, it's ugly.
Shouldn't they rather be aligned with bottom on baseline?

Also what is the purpose of textAnchor -> Paragraph?

If you switch from inline -> Paragraph, the morph disappear because there is a mess with local versus global coordinates (visibly, #changeParagraphAnchor was written only for Document -> Paragraph conversion in mind).

I have a fix, but I'd like to understand better the concept.

If it's plausible there really ought to be a style option for each embedded morph - align top to line-top, align bottom to baseline, align middle to line middle, etc. Come to think of it, I thought that such options were already there. GeeBook, or BookPage, or some class like that?

Yes, by default, but IMO it would be good to have an inst var in
TextAnchor allowing to define that behavior. We might want to align
morphs on their center for example. I could use this.

Bottom by default IMO.

I have also noticed that the 'avoid occlusion' menu choice seem to not work.

Great work you are doing :-)
