how to create crossed out text

edzmedz · #1 Nov 10, 2007, 04:28 AM

Anyone knows how to create a word or sentence which looks corrected and crossed out. Just a simple horizontal line that goes from one side to the other over the text. The text remains in text format not picture or anything like that so i think it's a simple html code...Anyone???

Umm, do you have Microsoft Word? You might be able to translate if you had a converter. For that, I believe it is in Format- Font. I'll check and get back to you.

It is. Strike through is the name of the style. Format-font is the right way to go if you want to try that.

<s> Text to be crossed out goes here </s>

That would work perfectly. It's basically just like BBCoding.

Also realize that this won't pass for valid xhtml. You would have to incorporate css for a xhtml valid strike through.
