The documentation doesn't show a feature which could display the formula in the way you want.

{ {a_0^2} over {a_0^2} } times r^2
Perhaps this?
{color cyan {a_0^2} overbrace size 5 color red "cancel"} over
{color cyan {a_0^2} underbrace size 5 color red "cancel"} times r^2
clarkw wrote:Quick correction or feature request it should be a virgule not a reverse virgule but really it should be any character so maybe:
cancels( <char> '#' <formula>)
