strike-through tags

April 10, 2008

 I used to still get depressed a lot.

Did you see what I just did there? That is called a strike-through. It would be great if you could just highlight the text you want to format, click the strike-through button and voila! But life is never easy.

You have to click the Edit HTML Source button on the RTE toolbar. 


  

This will launch the HTML Source Editor

Inside the HTML Source Editor, enclose the text you want to have the strike-through formatting with <strike></strike> tags. In the example below, the strike-through tags and the text to be formatted are shown in red text.

I <strike>used to</strike> still get depressed a lot.

Netscape browsers also support the <s> and </s> tags which do the same thing as the <strike> and </strike> tags, however, since not all browsers support the <s> and </s> tags, it is wise to stick with the standard when you are coding your HTML documents. The formatting effect will not be seen if the tags used are not supported by the browser.

 Click the Update button to save your changes.

I, on the other hand, will try to think happy thoughts.
