No strikethrough in Maple yet

So it's been 10 years and it doesn't appear Maple has the ability to strikethrough a character. 2022 doesn't and I don't believe 2023 has that capability either.

I was generating a solution to a physics problem for some students, and although not entirely necessary, it would have been helpful to visualize what variables were being cancelled out.

I tried using Word 2007 with it's strikethrough option and tried copying and pasting it over into math or text but I just get the characters with no strike.

This strikethrough option doesn't appear to be one of a concern to many or anyone else since there has been no upvotes and no replies on the topic. But this is mainly for document creation - it's so much easier to create a math document in Maple than it is in Word but I suppose people just resort to other methods or do without is my guess.

Actually it can be done using a workaround. Just paste a picture of the strikethrough using the snip tool in windows - copy a portion of a picture and paste it back into maple.

So just a simple example would be like this (extremely obvious but the point is shown)

crude, but it works.
