You have a few open questions in text.texi:

The line ended by the newline.

If the line is continued, only the last display continuation line (the
one ended by the newline) is affected.


> @item line-height
> @kindex line-height @r{(text property)}
> A newline can have a @code{line-height} text or overlay property that

Ditto.

To the height of the display line without the newline, i.e. to the
max height of any glyph preceding the newline.

line-heigth = 0
