Template:Strikethrough/doc

Usage
This template can be used to add a Strikethrough line through words if you do not know the HTML code, or if using HTML will have different effects.

For example: In the Wikipedia freenode channel (#wikipedia-en-help) you can show that a strikethrough can be made by adding, which would make your text here.

Technical note: this template applies the strikethrough effect by applying the [//www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html#lining-striking-props "text-decoration: line-through;" CSS property] to a element. This is because the  element, which was [//www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/graphics.html#font-style marked as deprecated] in HTML 4.01, is [//www.w3.org/TR/html5/obsolete.html#strike obsolete in HTML 5].
