To display the text that is not correct by using the <s> tag in the document. This tag is similar but slightly different from the <del> tag.

Note: It is not used to replaced or delete text but the <del> tag is used to replace or delete the text.  

Syntax:

<s> Contents... </s>

Example 1: In the example, use <s> tags around text that is no longer accurate to visually indicate strikethrough content, such as outdated information, within HTML documents.

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
    <title>
