What facilities exist currently for text rendering? I want to render a text paragraph with bold, italics, links, etc. Let's say what's available in Markdown Variable text size would be nice too but is not a must
only style-less paragraph

Is it on the roadmap? Open / ready for contributions?
Oh, I would love a contribution! One thing you can do is take Paragraph as an example and make a generic AContainerNode that accepts a list of children and lays them out like text, with wrapping if next box doesn’t fit on current line. Paragraph does this, but it splits text itself. Instead it could be a list of arbitrary components
One feature I dreamed of having is fixed line height: no matter how tall a line components could be, they will still sit on regularly spaced line heights. Web suffers from not having this a lot: if you add emoji or subscript/superscript, it makes the whole line taller, which is something nobody wants. Let me know if that makes sense
