Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the existing Chinese text layout guidance and the section covering baselines or mixed scripts; the documentation is done when it explains that Chinese glyphs lack ascenders, descenders, and a baseline, and how to align them with scripts that have one.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

i:baselines

We should mention that Chinese characters have no baseline. Each glyph is located in a square character frames of equal dimensions, with no ascenders or descenders.

我们需要提一下汉字没有基线，每个字形都位于正方形的文字外框中，既没有升部也没有降部。

We should mention how to deal with Chinese characters when mixed with scripts that has a baseline.

需要提一下，与有基线的文字混排时应如何处理。
