Markdown Delete <del>

Adds HTML Delete <del> support to VSCode's markdown preview.

Overview

The del plugin renders --text-- as an HTML <del> element, representing deleted or struck-through text.

<del>text</del>

Syntax

Wrap text in double dashes to mark it as deleted:

--This text has been deleted.--

You can use it inline: the price was --$50-- $35.

[!NOTE] Smart punctuation rewrites -- as an en dash before this plugin sees it, and Astro turns it on by default (smartypants for remark, smartPunctuation for Sätteri). Turn it off, or use a Mirrordown preset, which does.

About
