Explanation:
Hello,

"bâtonné" means "rayé", or "crossed out"

Here, there are just referring to one "blanc" or "blank space" which has been crossed out.

I hope this helps.

agree  writeaway: crossed through according to IATE

  -> Thanks, writeaway!
neutral  Lori Cirefice: so what is the difference between blanc bâtonné and barre tirée sur les blancs ?
2 hrs
  -> I don't think there is much of a difference. The dictionary says that "bâtonné" means "rayé", tout simplement. I don't know what else it could mean.
neutral  Michelle Desaintfuscien: to answer Lori's question, it seems to me that blanc bâtonné= blank spaces crossed out vertically (ref Harraps baton= (vertical) line). Whereas "barre tirée sur les blancs" means blank spaces crossed out horizontally.

  -> Thank you for the comment. I really don't know about the horizonal and vertical distinction.
agree  Tony M: One also finds 'struck through' in some uses.

  -> Thank you, Tony! In US English, "struck through" isn't used. But, again, thanks for letting me know.
