Type Alias: TextParagraphSpacing

type TextParagraphSpacing = 
  | {
  points: number;
}
  | "auto";

The gap above or below a paragraph (a:spcBef / a:spcAft / w:spacing@before / @after).

A measured gap is Points — pptx's spcPct and docx's @beforeLines / @afterLines resolve to points at import. Auto is docx's @beforeAutospacing / @afterAutospacing, which HTML-authored documents use constantly and which leaves the amount to the consumer; exporting one to pptx resolves it to points.
