I was posting a reply in a thread.

This is what the `edit` screen shows me.  
(I was sceptical, but.....)

But when I save the post, I get this.

No big deal, but there seems to be a problem.

If I get excited and put the `<s>` and `</s>` on each paragraph, in the _preview_ window it makes it all one big paragraph.

The post editor uses [markdown syntax](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet), use ` ~~`text`~~ ` for a strikethrough.

~~text~~

Ah! Thanks.

I found `<s>` `</s>` works too. But not as good - obviously.

Interesting.

# Below is from another thread.

I just did that:

Um.....

~~That flow you posted.

Ok, all good. Few name changes. No big.

But the `STOP` message isn't working.

Errr.....

And actually the `button` output isn't working.

I saw a message when I was pressing buttons, but that was from my other flow parts.

I just went through and was checking it again and noticed that your `piface/buttons` MQTT node isn't receiving anything either.~~

It isn't working now.

`~~` doesnt work across empty line breaks. same as the `>` quote doesnt.

### example...
  

~~this text has  
no  
empty lines  
between  
them~~

  

~~this text

does have

empty lines

between

them~~

Chalk up another mistake to me. Didn't think of that.

Sorry Steve. ~~But~~ and thanks. 😉
