Works-for-Me Wednesday: Strikethrough Text

by | Oct 4, 2006 | featured, WFMW | 13 comments

Do you really like love it when you see that strikethrough text effect, you just don’t know how to do it? Now you can! Just enclose the word or words you want to strike through between the following tags:

<strike>like</strike> gives you like
or
<s>like</s> will also give you like

Those brackets are on your keyboard under the letter “L.” Just don’t forget to include the / on the end tag; that lets your browser know to stop this effect, or else it will just keep striking through everything you write.

To my knowledge, this will not work when leaving comments. Have fun, go forth, and strike away!

    Our 9th grade son is homeschooled. This is his third year. I also love having him home where I know he can be himself and be SAFE.
