The "strike" Element

AVOIDNot in HTML5Obsolete

The "strike" element is deprecated in HTML 4.01 and obsolete in HTML5, but the "s" element is a standard HTML 4.01 and HTML5 element. Instead of "strike", use "s" for content that is no longer accurate or no longer relevant, or use CSS if "strike" is wanted only for its presentational effect ("text-decoration: line-through").
