17.3.2.37 strike

This element specifies that the contents of this run shall be displayed with a single horizontal line through the center of the line.

This formatting property is a toggle property (17.7.3).

If this element is not present, the default value is to leave the formatting applied at previous level in the style hierarchy. If this element is never applied in the style hierarchy, then strikethrough shall not be applied to the contents of this run.

This element shall not be present with the dstrike (17.3.2.9) property on the same run, since they are mutually exclusive in terms of appearance.

[Example: Consider a run of text which must have the strike property explicitly turned on for the contents of the run. This constraint is specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:rPr>
  <w:strike w:val="true"/>
</w:rPr>

This run explicitly declares that the strike property is true, so the contents of this run has a single horizontal strikethrough line. end example]

This element’s content model is defined by the common boolean property definition in 17.17.4.
