I am using indefero,and its wiki use markdown as wiki syntax,and I found that markdown do not support Strikethrough ? Thanks!
<s> and <strike> have been deprecated since HTML 4.01. What HTML
would you
expect Markdown to generate? Something like?
<p><span class="strike">This is wrong.</span>
This is right.</p>
or?
<p><del>This is wrong.</del> This is right.</p>
But the above should really make use of <ins> as well?
<p><del>This is wrong.</del> <ins>This is
right.</ins></p>
This is well and truly beyond the scope of Markdown. Don't forget that HTML
is a subset of Markdown, so any time you want to do something without
corresponding Markdown syntax you can simply use HTML. So, you could have
something like this?
* first list item
* second list item
* <del>fifth</del> <ins>third</ins> list item
which'd convert to?
<ul>
<li>first list item</li>
<li>second list item</li>
<li><del>fifth</del> <ins>third</ins> list
item</li>
</ul>

It may not allow raw HTML to be used. This is a limitation imposed by the implementation, not by Markdown itself.

(There are already cases -- the lowly underscore springs to mind -- where the reference markdown does the non-obvious thing.) -david parsons
