Use CSS instead:
<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">This text is crossed out.</span> And this text is not.
S Special Notes:
- The S tag has been deprecated in favor of CSS. It is best to use the text-decoration style property instead of the S tag.
- The S tag has the exact same properties and effects as the STRIKE tag.
