asciidoc strikethrough (line-through) does not work

Should render:

~Eventually we will have instructions on how to make it specific to perl6 filetypes and make it apply globally~

Currently renders the same as normal text. Looking at the rendered tags, it doesn't seem to show up in class/id's either, and it appears like other text is rendered in the html (doesn't appear to be caused by missing CSS elements).

it has been deprecated http://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#migrate-deprecated

That's not entirely accurate. These roles need to be handled differently. While I agree the big, small and color roles should be deprecated, the line decoration roles have semantic meaning and are thus still relevant.

The main issue here is that GitHub does not apply styles to any formatting elements, so the processor (Asciidoctor) needs to spit out dedicated HTML elements. For example, line-through should be emitted as a <del> element and underline a <u> element. See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/issues/1030

@mojavelinux @daggerok do you know how can I use strike-through with GitHub asciidoc now?

[mojavelinux]

Nope, the situation is unchanged. We will be addressing this in the new semantic HTML5 converter for Asciidoctor, which should reduce some burden on the GitHub styling requirements.

So there is no workaround for having striked through text in asciidoc in github ?

Just answering my own question and @samcv once, this worked for me.

You can simplify this further or apply it more granularly using the inline passthrough:

+++<del>+++Eventually we will have instructions on how to make it specific to
perl6 filetypes and make it apply globally+++</del>+++

(This way, it still makes a paragraph).

The risk of using a passthrough is that you've coupled your AsciiDoc to HTML...but if you're not concerned about that, then this allows you to accomplish what you're after.

worked for me, thank you.
