Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard Markdown strikethrough syntax?

GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) wraps deleted text inside double tildes: ~~deleted text~~.

Why convert to HTML <del>?

Some older Markdown parsers or email marketing engines do not recognize GFM tildes. HTML <del> ensures universal rendering across all email clients and legacy web portals.

What does 'Strip Deleted Text' do?

It removes any text inside strikethrough markers completely, letting authors eliminate draft revisions before finalizing contracts, blog posts, or public releases.
