but I like it to appear at the top of the line.
I tried the attributes leader-alignment="middle" and
"top" alignment-baseline="middle" and "top" but it does not work.
To align inline-level constructs, one uses alignment-adjust= ... I find I
often have to use this for my graphics, otherwise they look
superscripted. Many of my students are surprised to learn that graphics do
not sit on the bottom of a text line when using non-ideographic scripts.
Has somebody an idea how I get this leader at the top of a line?
The example below works as I expect when I run it on Antenna House. The
third leader is drawn at the top of line.
I hope this helps.
