Line through mistakes - how to do

Question

I've been searching past answers for how to get the line through mistakes that have been corrected. I see people do it all the time. I thought someone posted how to do that, but I can't find it. Would someone please tell me? Or help me find a previous post?

Answer 1

Here's what your markings should look like:

Sample sentence with one < s>strikethrough< /s> word.

Sample sentence with one strikethrough word.

I had to add a blank after the "less-than" sign, to allow the markers to display. The actual markers have no blank characters anywhere.

I hope that's clear!

Answer 3

I had to add a blank after the "less-than" sign, to allow the markers to display.

You can get around this if you use escape sequences, such as the backslash

\< ? <

or html escape codes

< ? <

> ? >

and nesting them within tick marks

<s> </s> ? <s> </s>

Be careful though. If you go back in and try to edit the html escape codes, the text editor will convert them to html markup code and you will have to retype each escape sequence.

(For some reason, the back ticks are not showing up in the text box, but you can find them on the key directly to the left of the #1 key on a standard keyboard set to US English configuration)

Problem is that I can never remember these when I want to use them. I've seen them all before. - 0074b507, Aug 7, 2011

Answer 5

I wonder if you can nest use it inside other formats.

I guess you can. - LaloLoco, Aug 7, 2011
