4 weeks ago This would be valuable to us. In Pluto Notebooks we get cohort inclusion/exclusion criteria from our medical researchers, to let us know which patients are part of their study. We wish to acknowledge the request of a particular criteria, but that this criteria must be implemented via manual chart review since there is no automated mechanism to do it. The strikethrough markdown seems the best way to accomplish this.
Several implementations of markdown have the ability to format strikethrough text
like this(~~like this~~). See eg here and here. The HTML tag appears to be<s>or<del>.Counterpoint - it doesn't seem to be in the main markdown spec. I know there are a billion markdown flavors, and I can understand wanting to stick to the basic one. See more discussion on Stackexchange here.
