Seems like a straightforward question, so I’ll just say TIA.
Oh, also need answer fast. TIA. again.
~~ <-Before and after
test
Huh. That seems a lot less complex than the old HTML tags. (< del > < /del >).
Which also seems to work.
Thanks again.
Trying this
Works!
That simple? I always have used “<” and “s” and “>” to start, and “<” and “/” and “s” and “>” to finish (without the "and"s). Both methods seem to work.
test: <s>strike out<\s> = strike out
To use the HTML tags you write them, to show them as text you put a “\” before and they appear in your post, but do not work.
At the risk of junior-modding, this is a Discourse technical question for the Site Feedback forum, not a community management question for ATMB. Had the OP searched there they’d probably have found a few useful posts.
The appearance of the ~~tag~~ or the <s>tag</s> is always the same in all themes. Just a plain strikethrough: tag.
For fancier situations the insert and delete text tags are designed to show the before and after versions of text. For these tags note that exactly how the text appears depends on the user’s chosen theme (not the poster’s chosen theme). So you can’t know exactly what each of your audience members will see. But in every theme the inserted and deleted text is clearly called out as different from each other and from the existing text.
On my theme (SD Light) the inserted text is green highlighted and underlined, while the deleted text is pink highlighted and struck through.
Here’s an example cribbed from another post:
… small planet Theia<ins>, which</ins><del>that</del> collided with the Earth to form the Moon<ins>,</ins> in our mantle.
results in
… small planet Theia, which
thatcollided with the Earth to form the Moon, in our mantle.

I knew about s in brackets strikethru…
but I did not know the old vB-style [del]del in square brackets strikethru[/del] also worked?
…seems like indeed it doesn’t.
…and the ~tilde~ before and after? Also doesn’t seem to work.
Double tilde
~Single tilde~
You gotta use two before and after.
<strike> and </strike> is what I’ve always used. I didn’t know you could just use the ‘s’.
Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer got to work from home when he got too fat to go into the nuclear plant. He discovered he could answer ‘yes’ questions on the computer by typing ‘y’ instead of the whole word. “I tripled my productivity today, Marge!”
double tilde
ok cool!
Same here:
[ s ] text [ /s ] (omit spaces)
… but I didn’t know about the tilde or angle brackets techniques.

how about sub and superscript? …
and small and large sizes?
As if there isn’t enough shouting already…
<sub>2</sub> for subscript2
<sup>3</sup> for superscript3
thx!!!

One pill code makes you bigger
and one pill code makes you small
use <big> to embiggen
use <small> for fun size
Example:
<big>EMBIGGEN</big> makes EMBIGGEN

thx
And, FWIW, not being able to see bolded text in the Vincent theme is till a PITA.
Can and in are both bold.
