HTML <strike> Tag
In this article, we will know the HTML <strike> tag, along with understanding its implementation through the example. The <strike> tag defines a strike or line through Text. This tag creates a cut line in the text. This tag is depreciated from HTML 5. Now, the <del> tag is used instead of this tag.
Syntax:
<strike> Contents </strike>
Note: This tag is not supported in HTML5, instead of this tag, we can use HTML del Tag or HTML ins Tag or use CSS text-decoration property.
Example: In this example, we simply use strike tag on text Hi Geeks!
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> < html > < body > <!-- Strike Tag --> < h2 >Welcome To GeeksforGeeks</ h2 > < strike >Hi Geeks!</ strike > </ body > </ html > |
Output:

HTML <strike> tag
