Tachar palabras con TikZ: opacidad de líneas

Question

Me gustaría tachar algunas palabras en una presentación y prefiero que tengan líneas semitransparentes para facilitar la lectura.

El MWE en adelante se basa en: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/478560/19788

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}

\newcommand{\txtcross}[1]{%
    \tikz[remember picture, baseline=(A.base)]{
        \node[inner sep=0pt](A){#1};
    }%
    \tikz[overlay, remember picture]{
        \draw[red, draw opacity=0.5, line width=1.5pt] (A.north west) -- (A.south east);
        \draw[red, draw opacity=0.5, line width=1.5pt] (A.south west) -- (A.north east);
    }%
}

\begin{document}

Antonio Vivaldi was \mycrossed{an Italian} a Venitian Baroque musical composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher, and priest.

\end{document}

El resultado parece bueno pero, de hecho, la parte donde las líneas se superponen es (lógicamente) más oscura que las otras partes.

¿Debo modificar el código para obtener una cruz de color uniforme con un valor de opacidad inferior a 1?

¿O debería intentar dibujar la cruz por otro medio?

Answer 1

Basado en la respuesta de @Hafid Boukhoulda, con cierta simplificación (sin remember pictureopción, definición de estilo de nodo ligeramente diferente):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.misc}

\newcommand\mycrossed[1]{\tikz[baseline=(A.base)]
    \node[cross out, draw= red, draw opacity=0.5, line width=1.5pt,
          inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt] (A) {#1};%
                        }

\begin{document}
Antonio Vivaldi was \mycrossed{an Italian} a Venitian Baroque musical composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher, and priest. Antonio Vivaldi was \mycrossed{an Italian} a Venitian Baroque musical composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher, and priest.
\end{document}

Answer 2

Basta dibujar la cruz en un solo camino en lugar de dos:

\draw[red,draw opacity=0.5, line width=1.5pt] (A.north west) -- (A.south east) (A.south west) -- (A.north east);

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\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,draw opacity=0.5, line width=1.5pt] (A.north west) -- (A.south east) (A.south west) -- (A.north east);
    }%
}

\begin{document}

Antonio Vivaldi was \mycrossed{an Italian} a Venitian Baroque musical composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher, and priest.

\end{document}

Answer 3

Puedes usar el cross outnodo de forma así:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.misc}

\newcommand{\txtcross}[1]{%
    \tikz[remember picture, baseline=(A.base)]{
        \node[cross out, 
            draw= red,
            line width=1.5pt,
            draw opacity=0.5,
            inner sep=0pt](A){#1};
    }
}

\begin{document}

Jean-Baptiste Lully  was \txtcross{a French} an Italian-born French composer, instrumentalist, and dancer

\end{document}
