Template talk:Overline

Is it possible to make the line not be coloured black? – SmiddleTC@ 16:08, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably not too hard for someone to code, but when would you need it to be another color? --Brandon Dilbeck 05:01, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Like this? --Abdull 19:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than use a template, you can use the combining diacritical mark U+0305 (combining overline). Example: x̅. The overline will be the same colour as the surrounding text. Needless to say, this is useful only for single letters (or very short strings), and appropriate only when the overline is semantically significant (as opposed to purely decorative). —Psychonaut 18:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
