[feature-request] Strikethrough (del tag) support

Open kiprobinson opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

In GitHub-flavored Markdown, they support strikethrough (<del>) using ~~text to strikethrough~~. Could you add this to Markdown Extra?

Example: here is some ~~deleted~~ text.

Reference: https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/#strikethrough

I went ahead an implemented this. Pull request here: https://github.com/michelf/php-markdown/pull/212

It is time for some kind of strikethrough support in Markdown Extra. The exact syntax does not matter to me. Some kind of syntax is what matters. Why must we resort to html for this when Markdown is supposed to make this easier?
