Text border tool and enhanced corner options for background shading

A method comprising:

• receiving first user input that identifies textual content to be positioned between top and bottom edges of a border, the textual content comprising a first plurality of glyphs;
• receiving second user input specifying that the top edge is to be positioned relative to a maximum ascent, and that the bottom edge is to be positioned relative to a baseline;
• receiving third user input that specifies top and bottom offset values;
• identifying a first font used to render the textual content, the first font comprising a second plurality of glyphs that includes at least one of the glyphs included in the first plurality of glyphs;
• identifying a second font used to render the textual content, the second font comprising a third plurality of glyphs that also includes at least one of the glyphs included in the first plurality of glyphs;
• identifying a tallest glyph amongst the second and third pluralities of glyphs, wherein the tallest glyph has a maximum height, but is not included in the first plurality of glyphs;
• displaying the top edge at a first position that is separated from the maximum height by the top offset value;
• and
• displaying the bottom edge at a second position that is separated from the baseline by the bottom offset value.

A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with instructions executable by at least one processor to implement a border generation process comprising:

• receiving first user input that identifies textual content to be positioned between top and bottom edges of a border, the textual content comprising a first plurality of glyphs;
• receiving second user input specifying that the top edge is to be positioned relative to a maximum ascent, and that the bottom edge is to be positioned relative to a baseline;
• receiving third user input that specifies top and bottom offset values;
• identifying a first font used to render the textual content, the first font comprising a second plurality of glyphs that includes at least one of the glyphs included in the first plurality of glyphs;
• identifying a second font used to render the textual content, the second font comprising a third plurality of glyphs that also includes at least one of the glyphs included in the first plurality of glyphs;
• identifying a tallest glyph amongst the second and third pluralities of glyphs, wherein the tallest glyph has a maximum height, but is not included in the first plurality of glyphs;
• displaying the top edge at a first position that is separated from the maximum height by the top offset value;
• and
• displaying the bottom edge at a second position that is separated from the baseline by the bottom offset value.
