Text Formatting ⇒ Colored Strikeout

[auvajs]

My LyX uses this command for striking-out text:

Code: Select all

\sout{text}

What to do if I want the striking line be red (or any other color?) For colors I am using this package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{xcolor}

You could use the soul package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{soul,xcolor}
\begin{document}
\setstcolor{red}
\st{Text}
\end{document}

Or you could use the ulem package and define your own command:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\newcommand\redout{\bgroup\markoverwith
{\textcolor{red}{\rule[.5ex]{2pt}{0.4pt}}}\ULon}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\redout{text}
\end{document}
