I’m having trouble with this can you strikethrough a sentence?

Surround the text with the ‘-’ symbol without any spaces on either side (or it won’t work) to get the desired effect. I put spaces in the example otherwise the symbols won’t show up.

strikethrough a sentence → – strikethrough a sentence -

bumping for reference

Thanks SimpliciTEA!

Ahhh, I never knew how to do all of these! Any chance this thread could be made sticky? A little resource, like this, is always handy to have for new(er) users (like me!) :-)

Thank you!

Seconding the sticky request!
