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.

You need 2 - for strikethrough but only one ^ or * for italic or bold

FeelMyWraith · 10/10/2011 20:10

Wherethewild, you're putting too many --

It's been possible to strike out sentences for bloody ages. Grin

CumbrianCooBeastie · 10/10/2011 20:11

now that could be rather snazzy

GetOrfMo1Land · 10/10/2011 20:14

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 10/10/2011 20:21

--interesting--

if

^you^

double them up on single words it still works pointless though

Pan · 10/10/2011 20:21

has it been three years already?

FeelMyWraith · 10/10/2011 20:22

I see people doing individual words all the time and think 'you bloody arse, what are you playing at?'

When they changed it (aaaaggees ago) there were lots and lots of threads on it.
