The <del> tag didn't make any difference. Neither did the <s> tag. The strikethrough line is so thin that if I didn't know it was supposed to be there, I'd never know it WAS there.

I doubt it makes a difference, but the book is Pratchett's "Wyrd Sisters" and the passage is where Tomjon is reading some of Hwel's crumpled up attempts at a script:

"There was a lot of crossing out, and a large blot. Tomjon threw it aside and selected another ball at random.

KING: Is this a duck knife dagger I see behind beside in front of before me, its beak handle pointing at me my hand?..."

I'm looking at an article on text-decoration-thickness at:

https://css-tricks.com/almanac/prope...ion-thickness/

From that, I'm trying specifically setting all the associated traits for line-through:

Code:

.strike { 
  text-decoration-line: line-through;
  text-decoration-style: solid;
  text-decoration-color: black;
  text-decoration-thickness: 5px;
}

But, with that, the strikethrough line disappears entirely on the Forma. It's also odd that the only thing Calibre's check book function doesn't like in those lines is the text-decoration-thickness one. (EDIT: EpubCheck is perfectly happy with all of it)
