Modifying text for strikethrough
Hi, sorry if this has already been asked, but I haven't found anything using search.
I have a website developing that needs to show prices that are "lined through" to indicate they are the old prices, RRP etc. I think strikethrough is the correct term ? html code is simply <del>word</del>
At present I am manually adding the code after Web Designer makes the HTML code, but everytime I make further saves it overwrites the page and I'm back to square one. :confused:
Any ideas please ?? Or maybe it could be added to the text prefs line in a future update ??
Thanks
John

Welcome to TG John,
Why not just use the pen tool and draw a line through the old price?

Welcome to the Web Designer forum, John.
In similar situations I change the fill color for the text to a very pale gray.

The same primitive method could be used for underlining text, but Xara smartly offers in line underlining.
Why NOT in line strike-through?

Xara products have only recently offered underlining, ie; Xtreme version 4 and recently Web Designer. No earlier Xara product does.

Hi,
Thanks all for the suggestions, but they do not really solve the problem except perhaps the suggestion from Sledger to use the Pen Tool. Only problem is I cannot find any trace of a Pen Tool in the help topics ?? Where is it ?? Sounds like it will do the job if I can only locate it. Have only started using Web Designer recently, so may have missed an option in a menu ?
Here is a page from the website I'm developing http://www.braintreepetfood.co.uk/small.htm to show what I am trying to do with the prices.

Beg your pardon :o For Web Designer it's the Shape Editor.
Press Ctrl to constrain to a straight line.

Or you could overlay a red x in a bigger font size maybe, you could just copy and paste it over your old price then.
