7.6. Insertions and Deletions

To strengthen the printed-material capabilities of Web documents, the insert (<ins>) and delete (<del>) tags have been added to HTML. Both tags are used for redlining documents—that is, a visually marked-up document showing suggested changes.

The following paragraph has been marked up with text to be inserted (underlined) and deleted (strikethrough). The output of this code is shown in Figure 7-7.

<p>Peter <del>are</del><ins>is</ins> correct, the proposal
from Acme is lacking a few <del>minor </del>details.</p>
