HTML Strikethrough Generator

Create an HTML <s> Element Online

The HTML Strikethrough Generator wraps plain text in an <s> element. According to the HTML Standard , this element identifies content that is no longer accurate or relevant, such as an original price shown beside a current sale price.

Use <s> when the old information remains useful for comparison or context. If the markup must identify text removed during a document edit, use <del> instead.

HTML <s> Tag Generator FAQ

1. When should I use the HTML s element?

Use <s> when text is no longer accurate or relevant but should remain visible for context. A previous price displayed beside a current sale price is a typical example.

2. What is the difference between s and del?

The <s> element marks information whose accuracy or relevance has changed. The <del> element records content removed as part of a document edit and can carry cite and datetime attributes describing that change.

3. Should I use s only to draw a line through text?

No. Use <s> when the crossed-out text has the meaning of outdated or no-longer-relevant information. For a purely visual line-through effect without that meaning, apply the CSS text-decoration property to a suitable element.

4. Does the s element remove or hide its text?

No. The content remains in the document, can be copied, and may still be read by assistive technology. Do not use strikethrough markup to conceal private or superseded information that must not be exposed.

5. How can I make the change clear without relying only on strikethrough styling?

Add nearby text that states the current information, such as a new price or corrected status. The surrounding wording should communicate the change even when the visual line is not perceived.
