The <s> element represents strike-through text that is no longer needed, accurate, or correct.

Syntax

<s>
  <!-- Incorrect, inaccurate, and unnecessary text here -->
</s>

The <s> element should only contain text content or other elements meant for text content.

Note: The <s> element is semantically different from the <del> element because the former is just an edit while the latter conveys an actual update in a document.

Example

The following is an example of the <s> element:

<html>
<head> </head>
<body>
<p>
<s>worng txet</s>
</p>
</body>
</html>

The rendered output would look like this:
