X-Bar symbol

[Tracey Zellmann <tr...@comcast.net>]

I am looking for an easy way to print an X with a bar over it - the symbol for the average of a sample. I could do it with svg, but I was hoping for a slightly easier approach. The symbol will occupy one header cell in a table row, so it has room to the left and right.

Thanks. That worked perfectly.

As Tracy seems to look for a bar above the x text-decoration="overline" is
probably what she needs.

Another way would be to use a fo:inline or fo:character with an
appropriate border-before and/or padding-before setting.

I think you're looking for the text-decoration="line-through" property 
[1]. I haven't tested it, but according to the FOP Compliance page 
[2], this should be supported.

So, it would look like this (untested):

<fo:inline text-decoration="line-through">X</fo:inline>
