<del> tag in cache description gets filtered when rendered

[+Funky_Boris]

I have an event description in which I maintain a list of confirmed registered attendees. When people cancel, I've been adding the HTML5 <del> tag in the description source code to signify that they no longer expect to attend.

This has been working as a charm until fairly recently, where it appears that even though it is present in the source, it gets filtered before the HTML that the users see is rendered.

The <del> tag is the official semantic tag in HTML5 for signifying that something has been deleted. It usually renders in browsers as text with strike-through.

Did you change the rules for which tags will get rendered recently ?

FWIW, I don't see <del> in the list of allowed HTML in the Help Center article HTML in cache pages.

Perhaps; I don't believe I've ever used this tag so I cannot attest to a change in the rules.

 

In the interim, use:

 

<span style="text-decoration: line-through;">strike through me</span>

 

for the same effect.
