rendering <del> with strikethrough

[jtonra]

Hello EVT,

I'm having trouble rendering <del> as a strikethrough. Here is some sample encoding:

<div type="stanza">
                <l n="13">Were all unprized uncourted then</l>
                <l n="14">And all the joy one spirit showed</l>
                <l n="15">The other <del>warmly</del><add>deeply</add> felt again</l>
                <l n="16">And friendship like a river flowed</l>
                <l n="17">Constant and strong its silent course</l>
                <l n="18">For naught withstood its gentle force</l>
            </div>

I've added some different code to the custom-style.css file to try to get this to render, but nothing has worked so far, e.g.

.del {
  text-decoration: line-through;
}
.DEL {
  text-decoration: line-through;
}
span.del {
  text-decoration: line-through;
}

I would be grateful for any advice!

Justin.

Hi Justin, in the diplomatic level EVT 2 should rend a deletion using strikethrough by default, with no need for a custom CSS rule. What do you get using <del> without any CSS?

Thanks for your reply, Roberto: I appreciate it! My initial error was that I was working with "defaultEdition": "critical" but even after I switched that to diplomatic, <del> was not rendering with a strikethrough. I returned to the custom styles CSS file and did some tinkering; I got the desired result (image attached) by adding:

.ADD {
  vertical-align: super;
  font-size: smaller;
}
.DEL {
  text-decoration: line-through;
}

Thanks again for your help; sorry to bother you!
