How to Cut or Cross (Mark as Mistake) the Written words in HTML

HTML & CSS
1

I want to know how we can mark or denote as mistakes with our written words by crossing the words instead of removing or deleting? I’m also not sure that how I should explain, what I want to be answered? hope someone will understand.

You mean this kind of thing?

If so, use the <s>text here</s> tags in HTML.

Looking for this?

Usage Note: As with all purely styling elements, <strike> has been deprecated in HTML 4 and XHTML 1, and obsoleted in HTML5. If semantically appropriate, i.e., if it represents deleted content, use the <del> instead; in all other cases use a <span> element and style it with the CSS text-decoration property, with the line-through value.

If you mean here, you can use the bbCode [s]whatever[/s]

put a line through this

*Note, the above in the mark-up is

<span class="bbcode-s">put a line through this</span>

using the <del> tag to mark the text as removed is probably more semantic for this than using <s> which looks the same (if you don’t style it) but which does not indicate that the text should be considered to be a mistake or old version of the content.

There is also an <ins> tag for marking the text that has been inserted to replace the mistake.

If you are talking about html then as felgall says above the del and in elements are made for marking up edits to the text in a document.
