      Enter some text, apply the strikethrough formatting and save, so you have e.g.

      text

      Now edit the page using the RTE. The strikethrough formatting should be removed by highlighting the text and clicking the button again, but this does not work.
      To remove the strikethrough the user has to switch to the wiki markup tab.

            No longer an issue since we don't round-trip anymore.

            In html in Confluence, we represent strikethrough using del tags. However, we use the TinyMCE button for adding/removing strike tags. Therefore we can't unstrike things with that button, because the text isn't struck out, it's deleted. TinyMCE 3.2 does have a control for dealing with deletion, but it is more complex, as it allows usage of the cite and datetime attributes on the del tag.

            I suspect the best solution is to render strikethrough using the strike tag when rendering for wysiwyg. (or maybe all the time?) After all, we describe the syntax as strikethrough syntax and have a strikethrough button. It is a visual effect that the user wants, not necessarily an indication of deletion.
