It's possible to implement strike?

The syntax could be -striketrough-. 👍

As an info, Github uses ~strike~

I think strike should be ~ and not -

GFM is ~strike~. It's implemented in many, many commonly used platforms on the js side. It would be super nice if we could follow suit in PHP.

Depending on the implementation, ~ can mean <sub>, <del>, or <u>. Using a double-tilde is more universal it seems. If this is going to get implemented, I think we should go for a double tilde: ~~strike~~.

For reference: ~strike~ vs ~~strike~~.

Also, using a dash doesn't really work as they’re pretty common in text and could easily generate false positives.

I think ~~strike~~ syntax is ok as well.

Hi Michel, if you consider adding strikethrough I can send you a pull request for it.

We have a working implementation for ~~strikethrough~~ at yellow-markdown.

Go for it!

Was this ever implemented?

I'm seeing ~underline~ ~~strike~~ and

Commonly implemented.

Clearly, GitHub doesn't support the combination, as it's interpreted as a code fence.
