KOffice can strike out anything

We added a feature in KWord yesterday that lets you strike-out a text, like "wrong word" with any custom text, like "x" or "---x---" instead of the boring "wrong word" style (example odt). You can also use any custom text to fill the whitespace created by a tab (example odt). Rather advanced text editing, I'd say. And it turns out that it you can get it to create some rather funky patterns.

The one on the top is done with 'o's struck-out with with 'O's. And the next one has '/'s struck-out with '| - '. These strings can be specified in an ODT file and read in, but as yet there's no interface in KWord to create such a document directly.

Now that we have this, if there's any artist making ASCII art who wants an alpha channel in his "images", KWord will be his tool of choice. :)
