<p>The <em>HTML Strikethrough Element</em> (<code>&lt;s&gt;</code>) renders text with a strikethrough, or a line through it. Use the <code>&lt;s&gt;</code> element to represent things that are no longer relevant or no longer accurate. However, <code>&lt;s&gt;</code> is not appropriate when indicating document edits; for that, use the {{ HTMLElement("del") }} and {{ HTMLElement("ins") }} elements, as appropriate.</p>
