Introduction

The Fix strike wizard provides you with “strike” errors for the course, or courses and updates the formatting of striked through text into the correct HTML tag, as it changes the <strike> tag to a <del> tag to help fix them quickly.

 

The <strike> element is deprecated and should not be used. It provides no text meaning for non-sighted readers. Use the <del> (deleted text) tag instead.

 

N.B.: In the top right of the Fix strike wizard is a “Help docs” button that will bring your directly to this documentation page.

Impact of using strike instead of del

The <strike> element only conveys appearance, whereas the <del> element conveys meaning.
