Hello,

Github Markdown has strikethrough support like this:

```
~~deleted text~~

```

This would be extremely useful on my site. Additionally, it is sometimes useful to strikethrough an entire paragraph. Maybe it could be implemented like this?

```plaintext
~~~
Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. Long paragraph of deleted text. 
~~~

```

Additionally, it would be nice to have underline support like Textile:

```
+underlined+

```

I know that Discourse has bbcode support too, but I hate bbcode and all [hate]tags[/hate] pretty much. 😄

Thanks a lot fore reading!
