I’m not sure whether this bug is specific to Discourse but when I try to strikethrough several lines of text & one of those lines is a quote, the quote’s text is not struck out. The preview displays the quoted text as struck out - [image] but when posted, it renders like this - [image] Striki…

Only noticed a couple of hours ago it’s working now! :+1: :100: Thank you! (Can’t give you the Solution as you don’t seem to have that plugin running…) :innocent: Proof: Strikethrough on multiple lines [2020-09-04_17-35]

You should really try that example at https://markdown-it.discourse.org As that is the site testing implementing the common mark spec into Discourse.

Works fine in Markdown.it [image]

I’m still having the same issue in Markdown.it, in your example you haven’t got struck out text before the quote but in mine, I have - [image] looks like [image] From this topic - https://markdown-it.discourse.org/t/testing-multi-line-strikethrough-with-quotes/90

Let’s see Some text a quote raw <s>Some text > a quote </s> This still happens.

Strike is an inline, not a block level element, I may just add a rule to balance inline tags

So this is still a thing. The preview is different from the final product. [discourse%20preview%20right%20save%20wrong]

Simple workaround, use strikethrough as a line not block element. Rather than expecting this to work <s> hey > there </s> Strikethrough each line instead <s>hey</s> > <s>there</s> hey there

Thanks, but I wasn’t asking for a work around. I was pointing out that this bug still exists. It’s weird that the preview gets it right but the actual render doesn’t.

It’s unlikely we will be “fixing” this bug anytime soon, so plan accordingly :wink:

Looks like nokogiri may be messing stuff up, I will investigate.
