The strike tag is not working. In this example the word "ware" and "hanger" should have strikethrough by surrounding them with the Strike tag.

I posted the comment using Firefox 74.0.
I viewed the comment in:

• FireFox 74.0,
• Chrome 80.0.3987.149
• IE 11.657.18362.0
• Edge 44.18362.449.0, EdgeHTML 18.18363

Without the Strike tag, it would become necessary to revert two^W to using the control-W symbol when writing horrible puns.

We encountered a bug where the code which was supposed to "balance tags" failed to notice an open <strike> without a matching </strike>... this oversight allowed an unclosed <strike> to strike through ALL subsequent text until the end of the page. I implemented a quick, in-memory patch which removed "strike" from the list of allowed tags. Workaround: Please consider using <del>deleted text</del>, instead. As far as I can tell, it seems to work exactly the same as <strike>. --martyb
