S Tag in HTML5
In this article I am going to describe about the implementation and use of S Tag in HTML5.
S tag in HTML5
The <s> tag specifies text that is incorrect or inaccurate or no longer relevant .For example, it could be used to demonstrate a product that has had its price marked down, while still displaying the original price but with a line through the middle.
The <s> tag should not be used to define replaced or deleted text and also <s> tag is not appropriate when indicating document edits.for these purpose we use <del> tag in order to define replaced or deleted text.
Difference between HTML and HTML5
In HTML, <s> tag is used to define the strikethrough text, but in HTML5 <s> tag is used or defining that the text is no longer correct, accurate and relevant. And should not be used for defining replaced, deleted text, now in HTML5 <del> tag is used for defining the deleted text.
Browser Support
It is supported in all major browsers.
Syntax
<s> ......text to be placed here .....</s>
