Sorry, got another one.

I have a section of text with character strikethroughs. Rather than copy it, I retyped it in the Book View mode. Then, I used the Format/Strikethrough from the menus above to strike out some words.

In code view this wrapped <strike> and </strike> tags around the crossed out word, as expected. It looks like this: <strike>Ordered</strike>

But when I validate, I get these errors:

1) No declaration for element 'strike'

2) element 'strike' is not allowed for content model '(a|br|span|bdo|map|object||img|svg|tt|i|b|big|sma ll|em|strong|dfn|code|q|samp|kbd|var|cite|abbr|acr onym|sub|sup|input|select|textarea|label|button|in s|del|script)'

Shouldn't Sigil be okay with editing that I did in the Book View mode?

I knew this would be my biggest challenge. Basically, it's a chapter that is a document marked up to look like it was edited (with strikethroughs).
