HTML del element

The <del> HTML element represents a range of text that has been deleted from a document. This can be used when rendering “track changes” or source code diff information, for example. The <ins> element can be used for the opposite purpose: to indicate text that has been added to the document.

This element is often (but need not be) rendered by applying a strike-through style to the text.

The presence of the del element is not announced by most screen reading technology in its default configuration. It can be made to be announced by using the CSS content property, along with the ::before and ::after pseudo-elements.
