Strikethrough BBCODE

[panzerscope]

Hey guys,

So I am wanting to create a Strikethrough BBCODE as it does not come natively with CKE. However I have tried many various BBCODE variations to get it to function without any luck, I can only assume something has changed on VB5 from back in the day. I am trying the below in my BBCODE manager as it seemed the most popular choice when searching the net.

Title: Strikethrough
Tag: Strike
Replacement: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">{param}</span>
Example: {strikethrough text}

Any suggestions on how to get this working ? I am using VB5.5.2

Cheers
P

Oh, I can see it works on this site on Example, not on mine oddly, I can only assume you are using a different replacement code. Mind sharing ?

Instead of a span why don't you just use the <s> or <del> tag? That is what is being used on this site.

<s>{param}</s>

And yes, the <s> tag is perfectly valid in HTML5. Though <del> might be more appropriate if you want to be semantic.

Hmm, think I need some hand holding, I tried that but still no joy. Please see screenshot attached of my BBCODE Manager
