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.

Has this been in since the start? 6 years ago? And no fucker fellow poster mentioned it? Apart from the innocents on this thread, the rest of the site is inhabited by smug, secretive smart-Alecs. Bastards.

poorbuthappy · 10/10/2011 22:16

Woohoo!! Betcha I never use any of them again.

BlackCatinaWitchesHat · 10/10/2011 22:17

Can you do a whole sentence in bold?

Alwaysworthchecking · 10/10/2011 22:17

Seriously? You-can-strike-through-whole-sentences-in-one-go? I never knew that!

That fb link thingy - do you have to go via the link every time you want strikethrough in your fb posts? I'm so gutted that I can't think of an amusing and struck-through thing to say right now.

Why has my sentence got lines inbetween? Tries again

BlackCatinaWitchesHat · 10/10/2011 22:18

OH Cool. That's something else I learned
