baseline alignment guide

An in-depth guide to implementing baseline grids in Figma using its auto layout feature. It presents a novel solution for automatically implementing baseline grids in Figma designs through clever features like auto layout and vertical trim. It discusses how baseline grids are important for consistency but challenging to set up manually.

The proposed solution is to wrap text elements in components, use vertical trim to cut space above and below text, and add top/bottom padding to components to shift baselines onto a grid.
