<strike> Tag in HTML | Text Formatting

The <strike> tag in HTML is used to display text with a line through it, commonly known as "strikethrough." This tag is often used to indicate that a piece of content is no longer relevant or valid.

Key Points on <strike> Tag:

The <strike> tag displays text with a line through it.
It is used for strikethrough text to show that something has been deleted, is obsolete, or is incorrect.
In modern HTML, the <s> tag is recommended for a similar effect, as the <strike> tag is considered deprecated in HTML5.
The <strike> tag does not affect the semantics of the document, only the visual presentation.
