HI Sanlee!

To cross out text, just follow this little code...

< s> hola< /s>

No pongas un espacio entre de **

¡Muchas gracias, Coffee! - sanlee, Dec 12, 2011
Con mucho gusto :) - 00a4c226, Dec 12, 2011
but what 'de' are you referring to? - yahvey_hoffman, Aug 9, 2012
When you edit, don't use the spaces she uses above. I think she had to do that to get it to show on the post and not cross it out. - katydew, Aug 10, 2012

You must include two tags:

(1). The opening tag: <s>

(2). The closing tag: </s>

Place the desired text between these two tags

Caution: Once you have placed an opening tag, text will continue to be crossed out until you place a closing tag.

Ah, yes, that helps. - katydew, Dec 12, 2011
Another note: don't leave any spaces in the tag. - katydew, Aug 10, 2012

Be sure to include the "closing tag" at the end of the text you wish to strike out. All text that follows the initial strikeout tag will be crossed out until you introduce the closing strikeout tag - Izanoni1, Dec 12, 2011
Yes, I noticed. Thanks, Izanoni! - sanlee, Dec 12, 2011

So for people who cannot follow (like me) the meaning of the winning post, do not put any spaces in between the <> markers that go before the crossed out part, and after the crossed out part, and you will be good to go.

Right. I went into your post that caused the problems with all being crossed out and just enclosed the word crossed. - katydew, Aug 10, 2012

Oh bother ! It does not work in the comments , sorry mate. I think that may have been ray75. - ray76, Aug 10, 2012

with this post, I somehow crossed everything out on everybody's post?? - yahvey_hoffman, Aug 9, 2012
I went in on edit and put the and the around the word crossed and it worked leaving no spaces. - katydew, Aug 10, 2012
For whatever reason I can't type the enclosures in the comments so the above comment may not make sense. - katydew, Aug 10, 2012
