Strike-through Formatting

128 votes

I would like to use strike-through to indicate deleted sections or words without reducing my overall word count until I am ready to edit.

This would be great. It could also be used for in-story crossed-out text, for example in a letter somebody is reading.

Bumping for in-story crossed-out text.

Strikethrough is my go-to editing tool. Love to have it.

Another upvote for me - I like to have 'to do lists' for edits and strikethrough would help a lot there.

Strike through is particularly useful in the story notes. I like to keep a plan of the scenes and events for the whole story and cross them off as I go.

Please please please please add a strike through option! I hate deleting because a strike through allows me to still see what I'd written and decided I didn't like, and maybe next writing session I see it and can rework it.

I need this to ever consider Dabble for editing. Ideally, it doesn't bog down like Gdocs does with large files with many strikethroughs and suggestions in the text.

I also need strike-through for my story.

Strikethrough would definitely be useful for me. Especially when I'm editing something and I don't want to just delete it from my story but come back to it another day and figure out how to rework it into my story.

Strikethrough is an essential feature for a writer. Not having it available as a tool is nearly a deal breaker for Dabble.
