Strikethrough text 1

[emozley]

I am trying to figure out how to strikethrough certain bits of text. I thought I could make a custom tag:

<style>
strikethrough {text-decoration: line-through;}
</style>

<strikethrough>Ed Mozley</strikethrough>

I want to avoid having to write <font style="text-decoration:line-through;">Ed Mozley</font> if possible.

What is the best way of doing this please?

cheers

Ed

You cannot make custom tags. You can either use generic inline tag for styling specific words (<span>) or use one of the special markup elements like <strong> or <em> and style them.

what's wrong with:

<s>this text is struck through</s>

[tt]"quote goes here"[/tt]
[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.coryarthus.com/[/url]

Grasping at straws here, but I could say that it's deprecated since html4?

Jeez. Just use <del>Your text</del> to get Your text. It's not deprecated and usable in XHTML as well.

Excellent traingamer. I thought there might be a tag for that, but I guess I missed it. Oh well, we did html coding with just a couple of tags for way too long.

Thanks all - I used <s> and it has worked but if I run into any problems I will use <del>.
