Strike-through and Insertion

Correction marks highlight changes while working on a draft. Lately, strike-through has also become a hip visual style.

To visually record important changes in our text, we can expressively cancel a part of the previous version by marking it strike-through. The opposite action is to mark a part as inserted later.

Syntax

Strike-through is applied by surrounding text with two swung dashes on every side like ~~deletion~~. There is no Markdown syntax for an insertion available for Hugo, but you can use the replacement code with the plus sign like {‍+insertion}.

Layout

See the second paragraph.

Consider that these markings tend to look unprofessional on a finalized page if it’s not some kind of draft or change log.
