Hi Alexander, Thank you for this suggestion which will do the trick. Fabrice Le mar. 22 août 2023 à 10:26, Alexandre Christe a écrit :

Hi Fabrice,

I have this from former exchanges

% Cancel command for use in equations. \startuniqueMPgraphic{cross out} picture cross; cross := image(draw (0,0)--(1,1); draw (0,1)--(1,0);); draw cross xscaled \overlaywidth yscaled \overlayheight withpen pencircle scaled .8pt ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[canceloverlay][\uniqueMPgraphic{cross out}]

\define[1]\cancel{% \ifmmode \mframed[background=canceloverlay, frame=off, offset=overlay]{{#1}}% \else% \framed[background=canceloverlay, frame=off, offset=overlay]{{#1}}% \fi% }

Maybe something else is available nowadays.

Hi, In an algebraic expression, it is sometimes interesting to cross out terms. With LaTeX, there is the \cancel command from the package cancel. Is there an equivalent with conTeXt ? Thanks Fabrice

Hi Mikael, Thank you for this command ; there must be many others that I don't know how they work. Fabrice Le mar. 22 août 2023 à 10:54, Mikael Sundqvist a écrit :

I don't know what the cancel package gives, but since December 22 or so, one can do

\starttext

\setupframed [mathstrikeout] [color=darkgreen, backgroundcolor=darkred, frame=off]

\startTEXpage[offset=4dk,align=flushleft] \dm{1+\mathstrikeout[strike:text={what is this?}]{(2x-x)}+2=3+x} \blank \dm{1+\mathstrikeout[strike:math={=x}]{(2x-x)}+2=3+x} \blank \dm{1+\mathstrikeout[strike:math=u,arrow=no]{(2x-x)}+2=3+x} \blank \dm{1+\mathcrossout[strike:math={=x}]{(2x-x)}+2=3+x} \stopTEXpage

\stoptext

/Mikael
