I an trying to use \definehighlight to define a macro that will color and overstrike selected text. Thus far, \definehighlight[Delete][color=red,style={\overstrike}] \starttext test \Delete{test} test \stoptext reports !

If I replace “\overstrike” with “bold”, “\Delete” works. “\overstrike” works otherwise, so am I trying the impossible here? Alan

The next beta will have \setbar for that purpose, used as: \setuphead[section][textstyle={\setbar[overstrike]},textcolor=blue] \definehighlight[Whatever][color=darkyellow] \definehighlight[Delete] [color=red,style={\setbar[overstrike]}] \definehighlight[Keep] [color=green] \starttext \setupbar[overstrike][foregroundcolor=cyan,color=blue] \startsection[title={{\green green} foo {\green green}}] foo \startbar[overstrike]bar\stopbar test \Delete{test} test \Keep{test} test \Whatever{test} test \color[red]{test \Delete{test} test \Keep{test} test} \stopsection \stoptext for the source watchers: watch the subtle change in \mult_interfaces_install_style_and_color_handler Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
