Cross out words with overlapping to nearby words
I have figured out how to add a cross over words with tcolorbox
documentclass{article}usepackage{xcolor} usepackage[most]{tcolorbox}
begin{document}
Of course, presenting this solution would be cheating. And, no, it won't work in all cases, due to strict limitations on the pairs
tcbox[tcbox raise base,
breakable,nobeforeafter, enhanced jigsaw, opacityback=0, sharp corners, parbox=false, boxrule=0pt, top=0pt,bottom=0pt,left=0pt,right=0pt, boxsep=0pt, frame hidden, parbox=false,
finish={draw[thick,red] (frame.south west)--(frame.north east);draw[thick,red] (frame.south east)--(frame.north west);}]{
accepted
}
by textbackslash{}line. Your professor surely knows that TeX doesn't draw oblique lines. With the standard package pict2e it's easier and it will work in any case.
end{document}
Here I cross out word accept. However, I want the cross to stretch out a bit, say 1cm, see my illustration.
How can I achieve that?

You can shorten

Awesome!! Can you add a bit explanation? I'm new to this package, I didn't find explanation oftikzset
in the package documentation. Can you explain that? Also what is/.

@Gqqnbig Which documentation are you reading?tikzset
is defined in thetikz
package which you are using for the overlays (finish
in this case). And a negative shorten just extends one end of the line.

An alternative TikZ solution (less elegant than TeXnician's one).
With overlay
you can write over something without occupy space.
I've used shift
to enlarge the lines (you can use shorten
also here, but I haven't used it because TeXnician already did it, hence I would like to show an alternative).
To align TikZ nodes to normal text, see here: TikZ node in normal text.
documentclass{article}usepackage{xcolor} usepackage{tikz}
newcommand{mycrossed}[1]{%
tikz[remember picture, baseline=(A.base)]{
node[inner sep=0pt](A){#1};
}%
tikz[overlay, remember picture]{
draw[red, very thick] ([shift={(-.5,.2)}]A.north west) -- ([shift={(.5,-.2)}]A.south east);
draw[red, very thick] ([shift={(-.5,-.2)}]A.south west) -- ([shift={(.5,.2)}]A.north east);
