Strikethrough

An example of strikethrough.

Strikethrough, or strikeout, is a typographical presentation of words with a horizontal line through their center, resulting in text like this, sometimes an X or a forward slash is typed over the top instead of using a horizontal line.[1] Strike-through was used in medieval manuscripts. Contrary to censored or sanitized (redacted) texts, the words remain readable.
