Strikethrough font
May 31, 2006 12:00 AM
The Strikethrough/Strikeout font effect is not currently supported within Lectora. It is a good suggestion to add later on.A workaround you could use is to type something using WordPad and within the font properties of WordPad, set the font to have the strikeout effect. You can now copy the text out of Wordpad and paste it into Lectora and it will keep the strikeout effect.If you are publishing to HTML, AICC, or SCORM the strikeout will be removed unless you choose the option to render the text box as an image first.

This is simple to add with CSS so it probably doesn't make business sense spending time and money adding it as built-in functionality. One of the strengths of this application is how easy it is for non web designers to add CSS and/or JavaScript.
- Open a text editor, notepad works fine.
- type .strike {text-decoration: line-through;} and save as styles.css (change the extension from .txt to all files)
- Add HTML Extension Cascading Style Sheet browse for and point to the file you just saved.
- Add "strike" (no quotes) as a class for ANY text block(s) - Under Properties tab, lower right of appearance.
For anyone interested in some of the other options you have with this one style rule check out text-decoration in the Mozilla Developers Network (MDN) Docs.

Has this feature been added since the last comment in 2006? Looking to use the strikethrough text.
