# Strike extension

Learn how to use the Strike extension in Tiptap to cut through the words you wrote if you're too afraid to delete it.

Use this extension to render ~~striked text~~. If you pass `<s>`, `<del>`, `<strike>` tags, or text with inline `style` attributes setting `text-decoration: line-through` in the editor’s initial content, they all will be rendered accordingly.

Type \~\~ text between tildes \~\~ and it will be magically ~~striked through~~ while you type.

> **Restrictions:**
>
> The extension will generate the corresponding `<s>` HTML tags when reading contents of the `Editor` instance. All text striked through, regardless of the method will be normalized to `<s>` HTML tags.

> **Interactive demo:** [Strike](https://embed.tiptap.dev/preview/Marks/Strike)
