The line-through element indicates text that is rendered with a line struck through the content. This element is designed to enable authors to indicate a deletion or revision for rhetorical purpose; it is not intended to be used for indicating revisions. This element is part of the highlighting domain. Use this element only when a more semantically appropriate element is not available.

Note: Style sheets can be used to format the line-through element differently, just like any other element can be restyled. Thus, it is not the case that content in line-through elements will necessarily be rendered with a line struck through.
