Key Points

  • Purpose: The <s> element visually marks text as outdated or incorrect, typically by applying a strikethrough.
  • Difference from <del> and <strike>: Unlike <del>, which denotes deleted content, and the deprecated <strike>, <s> is primarily used for stylistic purposes without implying a specific reason for the change.
  • Styling: By default, browsers render text inside <s> with a line through it.

  • Use the <del> tag when indicating content removal.

It is useful for displaying outdated information while keeping it visible, helping users understand that the content is no longer applicable.
