Strikethrough

strikethrough · procedural · catalogued

A text whose deletions are struck through rather than removed, so the reader sees both what was written and what was rejected.

  • Languages: en
  • Requires: tokens
  • Deterministic: no

Prompt hint

Leave the rejected wording struck through and visible beside what replaced it.

Why this has no checker

This procedure has no computable acceptance criterion, so it will never be implemented. It is catalogued because the form belongs in an honest survey of the field, and denckring status counts it separately rather than reporting a gap that cannot close.
