If you hover over the strikethrough icon in the BBCode tab of the area you make a new post in, the tooltip that comes up says “stroke”. I think it should be renamed to strikethrough. “Stroke” has more than one meaning, and while the icon you hover over makes it quite clear what it is, I still think it's inconsistent. You don't see anyone referring to it as “stroke” either; it's always strikethrough. So I really think this should be changed.

I don't see any harm in adding this and I've definitely never heard anyone say “stroked text”, so I think that this is a good idea.

I think that this might be an uneditable feature of DjangoBB. Anyway, support because “strikethrough” makes more sense.

I recall hearing that Scratch Team has their own fork of DjangoBB. Also, if you can't edit the toolbar, how did they add Scratchblocks?

If we rename it, this won't be going to help us with identifying the properties. Because when people associate the word “strikethrough” with manuscript definition, they think it's a slash through content (hence the name). But, you can use stroke with no content like this,


The word that applies to content and spaces is stroke, and because of that, no support.

scratch team has a fork of djangobb so they can definitely make it a strike through instead of a stroke so support

Huh, I didn't think of it like that. But your example is technically a long line of spaces, not nothing, and you are striking through those spaces. If I use it on nothing, like here: (quote to see tags) nothing happens, because each character in the tag gets crossed out, and nothing has no characters

Even if I'm wrong, the point about absolutely no one using “stroke” still stands.

that strike is through spaces though, so it's still a strikethrough

still i probably wont support because stroke isnt that hard to understand lol

By nothing, I mean letters or symbols.

Yes, but not the ones that are used linguistically and symbols.

The symbol of an S with a line through it should automatically make it clear what that button does, without reading or even knowing about the tooltip associated with it.
