Strike text in a post?

[MileHighRaider]

Okay, so I tried various methods

[s]to strike[/s]
[strike]to strike[/strike]
[S]to strike[/S]
[STRIKE]to strike[/STRIKE]

text, and can't seem to get the magic combination. I notice a mod might be required to support this in bbcode, but I thought I had see others use it.

I'm lame and should be whipped.

Can you help me?

I'm sorry. I'm not sure what you are trying to do exactly.

[MileHighRaider]

Oh, sorry I wasn't clear.

I'd like to do the equivalent of strikethrough text. For example, if I have this:

Hi. My name is Fred.

But I'd like to "strike" Fred and replace it with "John" showing the original text ("Fred") in a strike-through font. In HTML, I could do something like

Hi. My name is <strike>Fred</strike> John.

"Fred" would have a horizontal line through its characters (like I took a pencil and struck it out). But these HTML elements are stripped. And the [s] and [strike] bbCode elements don't seem to be supported.

I'm wondering if there's another way to use a strike-through font?

[Candygirl73]

Oh I think you can only use the fonts and stuff that is available here. I don't think you can strike through the font?

[MileHighRaider]

Hmmm... I thought I saw somebody else use such a font.

I'll have to dig through messages to find it (wow - good luck, eh?) then I can maybe see what they did.

Thanks for the help though!!

If you find it let me know.

Hmmm... I'm thinking I must have seen the strike-through in one of the articles linked off a post. I can't find an example and for the life of me can't get any of the numerous variations discussed on the web to work.

It looks like it may require a mod (there are many available) to add this functionality unless it's mapped in some other way I haven't been able to figure out, e.g. [hidden-from-MHR]example[/hidden-from-MHR].

Thanks for the help though!
