    Strike-through font

    Morning Guru's

    How do I do a strike-through font on CUK posts?

    Tried a few tags suggested by Google but no joy.

    TIA

        Doesn't need to be capitals though

        I was reading the relevant bit of the vBulletin source code the other day, and discovered that all the tags are lowercased during the parsing process anyway. This after years of carefully uppercasing them, even going back to correct them when I hadn't. Ho hum

            If you are going to post spoiler alerts, at least use some clever code thingy to hide the spoilers

            P.S. I'm sure I tried lower case before posting this plea for help.

            Lower case doesn't work

            Edit - oh bugger, it does. I blame Nick - he's changed something (again!)

              None of it works in Tapatalk BTW.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                I've been using lowercase here on CUK and on other vBulletin sites for several years.

                One site caught me out recently and I had to use uppercase. Then again that's a site which appears to be managed by a Javascript fanatic who keeps adding knobs and whistles*. He may have forced uppercase to cope with whatever WYSIWYG editor he keeps trying to insist we use

                * it's got so bad that if I view that site for any length of time with JS enabled my browser will crawl to a halt and I'll see script timeouts.
                Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

                  oooh it works! Ta!

                    Incidentally, if you want to highlight something rather than cross it out, you can use [highlight]blah[/highlight]: like this
