I am posting a simple trick to make the color of line-through line to appear different than the stricken text. I had to recall this trick actually as we rarely use it and i guess i myself never used it before i guess (may be i had but i don’t know exactly. :)).
Ok. As of normal, to strike text we can write:
<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Strike through this text</span>
gives Strike through this text
or
<strike>Strike through this text</strike>
gives Strike through this text.
The color of text and line-through above was black, which is the default color of my page so didn’t really need to write it. To apply a red line-through color I’ll do:
<span style="text-decoration:line-through;color:red;"> <span style='color:black;'>Strike through this text</span> </span>
gives Strike through this text
or
<strike style='color:red;'> <span style='color:black;'>Strike through this text</span> </strike>
gives Strike through this text
Thank you so much for the tips… Not sure if you are familiar with wordpress but wanted to ask you 2 quick questions (i actually have a lot but these are the most pressing)..
1. How do you make a nice bold strikethrough in red as the default post formatting. (so i dont have to cahnge the code every single time I use it. I use the strikethroughs as part of the writing style/theme so that would be a nice add for the site.
2. When post appear on the frontpage of the blog… they show no strikethroughs at all… what would I need to change so they do show up.
I am very new to blogging and to wordpress so any advice you can give would be really helpful. THANK YOU…
