HTML <strike> tag
When writing in HTML (hypertext markup language), the <strike> tag was an inline element used to draw a strikethrough on a section of text. However, this tag is obsolete. Use either the <s> or <del> tag in its place. The following sections contain information about the <strike> tag, including an example of it in use, and related attributes and browser compatibility.
You may also use CSS (cascading style sheets) to create a strikethrough using the attributed/value pair "text-decoration:line-through;" with <style>.
Example of <strike> code
<p>There is regular text, and there is <strike>strikethrough text </strike>.</p>
Example result
There is regular text, and there is strikethrough text.
Attributes
All HTML tags support standard attributes that define the settings of an HTML element. Unlike other HTML tags, the <strike> tag has no unique attributes.
