How to add the strikethrough attribute? Thread poster: Hans Lenting

How can I add the strikethrough attribute to text in a forum post?
| | | |
As far as I can see, you don't. Inline CSS syntax seems to be disabled, and the legacy HTML supported in forum posts has no 'strike' tag.

S̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶T̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ text is often used to show that something is unavailable, wrong or deleted.
There's a website manytools.org/facebook-twitter/strikethrough-text that helps generate s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ ̶t̶e̶x̶t̶.

We can also do 'funny' things like this transparent, fixed logo, but this could mess up the pages, so I'm not posting the code for it. It's only because this is an old technical topic with only a few 'geeks'.
But the Background property does no harm.

This code can easily be reproduced by quoting your message 
<img src="https://sslcdn.proz.com/zf/images/proz-logo-nav.svg" style="position:fixed; opacity:0.5; left:50%; top:50%; z-index:100">

Of course, I know I can't hide anything from you. You could also just look it up in the page source😁

That was a very "geeky" discussion topic. 😃
Nevertheless, I think many translators whould benefit from learning a bit more about basic HTML and other geeky syntax rules.
I say that because I have been doing lots of revisions this year, and I would often find silly mistakes, even in linguistically qualitative work, like…
- Moving each < br/ > tag before the period at the end of a sentence
- Adding spaces after < a > or be

I also corrected numerous invalid URL slugs. Translators would add spaces, apostrophes or accented letters to strings that are obviously meant to be part of an URL (strings like 357278-how_to_add_the_strikethrough_attribute)
