[xep-support] line-through with different fonts

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Oliver,

OB> Hello,

OB> I'm using <fo:inline text-decoration="line-through"> ... </fo:inline>
OB> to create text that is marked as cancelled.
OB> Unfortunately if the contents uses different fonts (Courier, Helvetica
OB> and Times), the result is not a straight line but rather a line that
OB> has breaks (the parts appear in slightly different vertical positions).
OB> I suspect this is because each font has its own metric (though the 
OB> font-size is the same).

Yes, you are right. Line-through cross glyphs at the half X-height.

OB> Is there anything I can do to produce a straight line?

Not in this version of XEP.

OB> (Extended task: the fo:inline above is part of a table cell. Can I strike
OB> out a whole table row?)

I don't think it is possible.

OB> Thanks a lot,
OB> Oliver
