< All the HTML Tags >

Definition:

The HTML <strike> tag is used to render text with a line through it, indicating that the text is no longer relevant or has been deleted.

This element is primarily visual, providing a way to present outdated information or corrections while maintaining the original context of the text. Although it is often used for strikethrough effects, the <strike> tag is deprecated in HTML5, and developers are encouraged to use CSS for styling text with a line through it.

In modern web development, the `text-decoration: line-through;` CSS property is preferred for achieving the same effect, allowing for more control over styling and better adherence to semantic HTML practices. Despite its deprecation, understanding the `<strike>` tag can still be useful when maintaining or working with older HTML documents.
