Summary
The
HTML Strikethrough Element
(
<strike>) renders text with a strikethrough, or a line through it.
Usage Note:
As with all purely styling elements,
<strike>
has been deprecated in HTML 4 and XHTML 1, and obsoleted in HTML5. If semantically appropriate, i.e., if it represents deleted
content, use the <del>
instead; in all other cases use a <span>
element and style it with the CSS
text-decoration
property, with the line-through
value.Attributes
This element has no other attributes than the
global attributes, common to all elements.

HTMLElement

up to Gecko 1.9.2 inclusive, Firefox implements the
