How do you do strikethroughs for a whole sentence of words - or do you have to strikethrough the words individually

I saw on a thread where someone did a strikethrough of loads of words - just wondered if you had to do each word individually (which takes ages) or if you can do a whole load of words all at once.

I do not know

ZacharyQuack · 10/10/2011 11:23

Oooh I do know! Put double-dashes at each end of the sentence.

ZacharyQuack · 10/10/2011 11:24

Let's try with punctuation marks

Hmm. What about ! and ?

Fantastic! Now I can be really passive-aggressive

ZacharyQuack · 10/10/2011 11:26

Bold works too

What about italics?

And finally, underlines
