Typing strike-thru when using Safari

Yes, all browsers will be the same. They should all properly display an older HTML strike tag, or the newer span command, line-through.

I went to the site you show, but didn't want to create an account to test how to do what you want there. Users have to be doing one of two things.

1) They are manually typing in the HTML or CSS commands to create the strikethough text.

2) Looking at your screen shot, there's an icon shown as < >. This is normal web usage to enclose a formatting command.

Do a test post there and try both. For manual, type these two lines, or just copy/paste them from here and see if either produces strikethrough text.

<strike>Strikethrough test.</strike>

<span style="text-decoration:line-through">Strikethrough test.</span>

To see if the icon provided at the site is for applying web formatting, type anything and highlight it. Click the < > icon and see if it gives you other formatting options not already shown (such as the bold, italic and underline icons).

Okay, like these forums, it's ignoring HTML commands typed into the editor with the correct < > symbols. Or maybe not. If you didn't actually submit the post, you can't prove whether or not either of those will work until you do. It doesn't change simply while typing.

However, like a lot of forum software, notice it used brackets instead. It's now expecting you to know the HTML tag you want to replace the letters HTML with. Change those both to strike so it reads:

[strike]Type anything & Highlight[/strike]

and post the response.

You're welcome. Sorry about the "submit" comment. Not at all intending to be rude. It just appeared you were waiting for the strikethrough to appear as if you had clicked a button in a word processor. The slow person here was me, not noticing the Preview bar above what you were typing. 😊

ᵺ < like that?

If so, go to your Safari menu bar and click Edit > Emoji & Symbols then type strike through then double click the strike through.

.

You don't have to be in HTML mode to get strikethrough. That was typed after clicking the strikethrough button in the toolbar of the entry area.

Word processing formatting of text isn't the same as web formatting. The strikethrough won't carry over to a forum.
