== Problem with display ==

Not sure if this is just my browser or what, but in at least one section ([[User:Tony1/Advanced editing exercises#Jane Zhang|Jane Zhang]]) the strikeout text doesn't show up as strikeout, it's just regular (ie, I'm seeing "During Throughout" instead of "During <s>Throughout</s>"). Is this happening for anyone else? Any ideas what might be causing it?

: It happens to me, too. The most recent version that works fine is [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Tony1/Advanced_editing_exercises&oldid=261420933 this one]. The page has a lot of opened HTML tags to begin with, so they should be closed. <span style="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Gary King|<span style="color:#02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></span>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:Gary King|<span style="color:#02e;">talk</span>]])</span> 07:45, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

:::Thanks to both of you. Rjanang, You want to have a play with it? Looks perfect to me. Are you using ''Internet Explorer''? I do these in ''Safari''. Gary, maybe that is the problem. Can you give me an example of what an HTML tag is? I can then fix them.

Great job, I love doing these! For excercise 6 I thought:

"A protest grou<fontspan colorstyle="color: red;">'''p, <s>was</s> f'''</fontspan>ormed to resist the proposed construction, <fontspan colorstyle="color: red;">'''<s>which</s>''' </fontspan> attracted support from botanist and environmental campaigner David Bellamy."

I would refer to that it is logical that the group was founded after/because of the proposal, so "was" would be redundant, and with an extra comma, but fewer words the message still stands clear. (PS: you've written "font colo'''u'''r", with a ''u'' so the corrected text is black, not red) --Regards, [[User:Mottenen|Mottenen]] ([[User talk:Mottenen|talk]]) 20:23, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
