[SOLVED] How to draw lines through text...

ardvark71 · 02-18-2016, 03:38 PM

Hi...

I've been curious about this for some time. I'm not sure if this can be done on LQ but I've seen other forums and web pages that when the author wants to delete a word, sentence or paragraph, he/she simply has a line drawn through the middle of the letters rather than just deleting it outright. You can still read what was said, the line just symbolizes that was said is no longer valid or applicable.

How is this done and can it be done on LQ?

EDIT: Never mind, for some reason, it didn't occur me that Google could answer my question (the code is a little different for LQ, though.) Whoops!

To a moderator: I wasn't quite sure where to put this, feel free to move this if needed.

Thanks!

Good question. Made me recall that I saw info on LQ about the codes one can use, and just re-searched for it again.

EDIT: Oh wow. I saw AlucardZero's reply but only saw the example and didn't see that they posted that exact link. Sorry for the reiteration. I feel like a duplicitous copycat.
