Pcrastination BS: How to do strikethroughs (line over text) in posts?

16 March, 2010 - 8:13am - strike

Can somebody tell my why strikethroughs (line over text) works in edit mode (the strikethrough is visible) but does not show in the posted comment? I'm on a mac.

 I've seen it in other peoples posts. Would be cool to be able to cross things of digitally :)

 

[Update]

The strikestroughs shows up in a posted comment if I manually insert the <strike> </strike> in the html code. But that also screws up the formating (the spacing). This is so much procrastination I'm stopping right now.

 

[Update]

Don't now how but I've solved it. Maybe some kind of browser/OS formating setting. Still screws up the formating though!

I'm on a PC using Firefox 3.5.8. The strikethrough feature works fine for me, although I cannot cut and paste on this version of Firefox on these posts.

I found this on google for you, it appears this is a known Safari issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3839

That explains all the formating fuzz. Thanks Huma for the research!
