Feature suggestion: Add "Strikethrough" option to the markdown editor about ourumbraco HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey guys, thanks for creating this issue, I set it to up-for-grabs but then realized it wasn't actually possible at the moment without a huge overhaul. I will close this for now and add the idea label on it so we can revisit it in the future when we/you have a more time to work on this.

@BatJan I've done some investigation into this and sadly it's currently not possible.

The logic for markdown comes in the form of a version of Pagedown and the Markdown.Converter.js. Sadly this is linked out to a CDN in Master.cshtml so we can not modify the code even though there are files in the repo that parallel it.

It might be possible to increase the version of Pagedown we link out to but this might have an impact on the current editor.

Hi @jamiepollock Good observations - I had not looked further into it just yet. But it seems like it's not even an option in Pagedown to have make use of <s> or <del> so in order to achieve this it's likely that a new plugin should be used like https://stackedit.io/ - But that is of course a bigger change, which can impact the current editor. And I don't know if there will be any interest in switching to another one.

A bit surprised to learn that the option is not supported in Pagedown - There is a 3 year old issue here StackExchange/pagedown#37 that has not been dealt with yet.

@BatJan yea, I completely agree! I was disappointed to see strikethrough wasn't supported by Pagedown. The project has numerous issues and don't seem overly well maintained in the last 6 months which is disappointing.

The semi-good news is the editor included here could potentially be switched out for another.

I'm not saying it'll be super easy but there is potential here. I'll have a look into Stackedit. Although that has hundreds of issues against it.

Thanks for the suggestions!
