Question about strike outs

[AbsofCroissant]

So, you know how now when you want to bold something, you just put * on either side of the sentence?

and the same for italics
like this

Why doesn't it work for strikeouts, as that would be amazing, rather than having to sit here going ---- all the time?

It would be very useful its a right pain doing it word by word

It would also stop us from making fools of ourselves. You know, like when we're all trying to be very funny and the joke involves striking out a whole sentence, and instead it just looks like this and you look like a right muppet

-I agree--
