React PDF Improvements

[tpreusse]

In general, our basic requirements are supported, but not all desired features are available yet.

Page Breaks

Page breaks work in general, but we need to invest work to measure element heights and break into a new page when needed.

Misc

• support for lineHeight style
• generic inline element for implementing e.g. strong, italic, strikethrough
• _soft-hyphen support
  Text wrapper not properly working with soft hyphens foliojs/pdfkit#457 _
• SVG files/paths support in Image component
• Image URIs with GET parameters are not supported
  currently stripping them out to make things work
  solved by Check image extension with buffer diegomura/react-pdf#207
• by default, an inline child doesn’t inherit any styling props (e.g. color, fontSize) from the text parent. We might wanna implement some magic here.
  solved by Styles cascading diegomura/react-pdf#192
  list of cascading styles

Page break is working fine now right? Do we still need that measurement function. I truly don't know if that would be possible (react-pdf first calculates the layout, and then renders) and don't see the benefit to be honest

@diegomura I think it's fine for now—updated the issue. Let's verify with design and the final layout later on.

I created an issue for each remaining point of the list. I'm going to close this issue in favor of the other ones
