Strikethru text?

I've seen it done before, but I can't find out how to do it with vB code.

Anybody know?

Thanks

I'm not aware of how to do it with vB code, but it works fine in HTML.

Sweet! I've always meant to ask about that! Now the mystery is how you were able to type the syntax without the strike actually happening??

In HTML, there is a tag that you can use to display > and < without them being read as part of another tag.

You can quote our posts to see what we did, but in short, <B>&<I></I>lt;</B> and <B>&<I></I>gt;</B> are escape codes to display < and > without them being treated as tags.

<s>You could just have "s" not "strike" in the brackets too</s>

Also, you can do a "quote" of any cool stuff you see to view the quasi-HTML that was used.
