<strike>

Obsolete
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

The <strike> (or HTML Strikethrough Element) places a strikethrough (horizontal line) over text.

Usage note: This element is deprecated in HTML 4 and XHTML 1, and obsoleted in HTML5. If semantically appropriate, i.e., if it represents deleted content, use <del> instead. In all other cases use <s>.
