# Strikethrough for Text

How to set up your text layer to dynamically strikethrough

Strikethrough pricing is a strong feature to add into your design. There are two options to add strikethrough - **Static** Strikethrough & **Dynamic** Strikethrough.

Static strikethrough is done by simply adding a line element as a layer, placing it over the element you wish to strikethrough.

Dynamic strikethrough uses the text layer's **Textbox** property as a way to dynamically adjust the size of the strikethrough based on how many characters per product row. Below are the steps to achieve dynamic strikethrough:

This effect will only work for single line copy

1. Make sure **Text Wrapping** is **_off_** & switch the bounding box mode to **Auto With**

2. Set the **Transform Height (H)** to the thickness of your strikethrough line (recommended value = 2px)

3. Turn on **Textbox - Stroke** and set to the same value as your **Transform Height (H)** above (recommended value = 2px)

4. Adjust **Left/Right Padding** to expand the line an appropriate width (recommended value = 10)

## That's it! You now have a dynamically adjusting strikethrough line on your text asset!
