I've got an epub that uses:

.strike {
text-decoration: line-through;
}

to strike through some lines of text. In Calibre, it looks fine. On my Kobo Forma, I can barely see the strikeout line going through the text. Searching the web, I find many instances claiming the underlying code for <strike> (deprecated), <del> and <s> is that same text-decoration line. On the w3c site for <strike>, I've tested all three of those methods and they all work well and look the same on my browser.

According to the mozilla.org site:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...tion-thickness

I can use text-decoration-thickness to change the thickness of that line and make it more visible. When I try, the Calibre editor "check book" function doesn't recognize it ("Unknown property").

Does anyone have another method of making that strikethrough line more visible?

EDIT: I ignored Calibre's warning and tried text-decoration-thickness: 10em; and it made no difference on my Forma (or in Calibre).
