Visual Basic forum not allowing <strike> markup.

Question

Sign in to vote

I tried editing the HTML of a post to use the <strike> markup, but when I submit the edit it insists on changing it to <strike>.

There is no good reason that I am aware of to disallow that. Please could it be allowed.

Steps to reproduce: Write a post. Click the HTML button to edit the markup. Add <strike></strike> markup. Click <strike>Submit</strike>Update.

I cannot explain why <strike> and <del> are not supported. You must use the <span style> tag. For example:

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">hello world</span>

Thanks, Richard. I guess <strike> is gone because it's not in HTML5, but that doesn't explain <del> not working. Oh well...
