<DEL> — NN n/a IE 4 HTML 4
Synopsis
<DEL>...</DEL>
End Tag: Required
The DEL
element and its companion,
INS
, define a format that shows which segments of
a document’s content have been marked up for deletion (or
insertion) during the authoring process. This is far from a workflow
management scheme, but in the hands of a supporting WYSIWYG HTML
authoring tool, these elements can assist in controlling generational
changes of a document in process.
Among the Version 4 browsers, only Internet Explorer supports the
DEL
element. Text contained by this element is
rendered as a strikethrough style (whereas INS
elements are underlined). The HTML 4.0 specification includes two
potentially useful attributes (not in IE 4) for preserving hidden
information about the date and time of the alteration and some
descriptive text about the change.
Example
<P>Four score and <DEL CITE="Fixed the math">eight</DEL><INS>seven</INS> years ago...</P>
