How to strike through your text

Larn’in, learning, all the time, all this learning. It’s enough to make you forget to get Oldtimer’s disease :)

Decided I wanted to make some change in a post over at my Blogger.com weblog by adding a strikethrough or line through some text. As that’s not something I do everyday, I thought I remembered the HTML code was <s></s> but thought I’d better do a quick check.

Well, that was the code back when I learnt’it but now the HTML code is <del>.

In my WordPress wysiwyg HTML editor, I have an option to choose that same strike through text so, just now, I did.

WordPress presents the code by declaring it a CSS style which is, of course, the preferred way today. The code is <span style=”text-decoration: line-through;”>line through</span>.

Maybe I’d better take a basic HTML class again if I wannabe a web designer, huh?
